    This seemed like a very versatile external drive. It was geared for videos more than CD's. I took it back.

    I had no issue with this product. It worked exactly like I expected it to, however, there are several cheaper alternatives that function just as well.

    Did not read discs well on Macs

    I bought these two drives for my business based on their good reviews, but they did not read discs very well (or at all sometimes). Even if it was discs that were burned from the drive itself. I use Mac computers in my business and thought I would try this instead of the Apple Superdrive. I would stick to the Apple Superdrive even if it a little more expensive.

    Does mostly what it's supposed to do. Bought it mainly to watch my old dvds on my laptop since my laptop does not have a disc drive, but it does not come with a dvd viewer. You have to install one on your own. I have windows 10. Actually I can't even remember if after installing a free one if it even worked. I don't use it but I keep it in case I need to access info on an old cd. This writer was the only option I had at the time and I bought it to patch the time until I can find a better option.

    Most newer computers are coming out without disc drives nowadays and this is perfect. Just a heads up it is not compatible with Apple Mac computers.

    Shadow Earphones for outdoor exercising

    Disappointed. The main body of the earphones cannot be secured on the neck or shoulders, so they dance around, slip off or fall down, thus pulling the earpieces off.

    Unable to give an accurate review

    I initially purchased this item because it was advertised as compatible with a Windows Vista operating system and also for it's ability to burn double-layer dvds. Unfortunately, the cyberlink software disk included with the unit cannot be installed to my computer due to fact that this disk was designed for Windows 7/8/10 operating systems(my computer has Windows Vista Home Premium). Any help that you can give to remedy this problem would be much appreciated.

    This product just destroyed a DVD that I was playing on it. If you want to buy a decent product, look somewhere else! The whole thing is un-readable now.

    Broke within a year. Reached out to LG, who sent a "refurbished" as a replacement. First time upon using the "refurbished" one, the DVD got stuck and won't eject, no matter what I do. I searched other reviews on the LG site, and it seems I'm not the only one.
