    Great Drive but NOT for Surface Pro

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this drive for use with my Surface Pro 3 but the unit won't even load the software because it tells me that it's over the power consumption for my tablet. I know that the SP3 has a normal usb2.0 but this drive just won't work and am disappointed that I have to take it back. Other than this point though, the drive is great quality.

    Unreliable

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Worked for four months and now is useless. Will not accept input of any new DVD or CD. (And no, there is no disc currently in it -- but there's no force eject to get the machinery on the inside to reset.)

    Spend Your Money on a Different Product!!!!

    Purchased A new HP ENVY laptop from BestBuy which needed an external drive. I purchased this LG drive at the advise of the BestBuy salesperson. I've had the drive for a week and have not been able to get it to work with the computer. I'm returning it back to the store today. I have much better things to be doing with my time than having to go back to Best Buy! My advise is to spend your money on anything other than this drive! Unless you don't mind spending hours trying to get it to work with your computer.

    Does NOT work with new Macbook Pro!!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this model because it was half the price of the Apple one and the box clearly states that it is Mac compatible.Got it home and could not burn CD's or DVD's on my new Macbook Pro, it keep saying your computer can't read these files. It would however read data CD's. Took it back and got the apple one and was able to instantly upload the same disks that the LG said my computer couldn't read. Spend the extra money if you have an Apple and buy their brand.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

    I purchased this several days ago. When it came to install it, there was a driver problem. I went to LG's website, they didin't even have the model number listed as one of their products. I then went to live chat and explained the issue. They informed me that this is a international unit carried by Best Buy but DOES NOT have America support...
