Nice compact and portable disk drive. Like that the disk gets pulled in and pushed out automatically when ejecting. No cheep manual slide in/ out tray to insert the disk to worry about breaking off.

I can sit at my computer and just push in a music CD and play music while I open my e-mails. I also tried putting in some software and had no problems. The small, slim size of this drive does not take up much space on my computer desk.

Adequate external CD/DVD drive for laptop

Seems like a good external CD/DVD drive for newer laptops which do not contain onboard CD/DVD drive. Information provided says it also supports BluRay format, but I have not used this. If you install the "default" device software supplied, this includes an LG Toolkit component, which will run fwupdate.exe every time you boot up, and you will see a popup window asking if you grant permission. The only way to get rid of this annoying "feature" is to de-install the LG Toolkit, which I did, and it does not seem to have caused any problems or loss of function so far. Be aware that, with Win 8.1, you will have to install software to support DVD video playback [not native to Win 8.1]. Free download of VLC Media Player has worked for my needs.

I needed a new external disc drive when my old one was no longer supported by my computer's up-do-date software. I wasn't sure if this would be the right thing but it worked as soon as I plugged it in. Easy and good value.

Needed this to work on both a new MacBook Pro and a Lenova Thinkpad PC. It worked on adding some needed software to both. Seems portable enough. Wish it would have had some type of plastic protective shell/box to keep it safe in a laptop bag. I would have paid a few more dollars if it came with that!

Have only been using the unit for a few weeks but it seems to do the job. It made no sense to pay for the repair of my computer's internal drive when I couldn't even get an estimate of the cost. For a modest sum I saved the time, expense and trouble of a repair.

I recently upgraded my PC to an extended ATX chassis with zero 5.25" external bays. And who needs a DVD drive anymore, right? Well... I did recently. I selected this drive as it has a nice durable and aesthetically pleasing metal case. In addition, it performs well. If you need an external DVD drive, you can buy this one with confidence.

After researching many external optical drives for my mac I chose to go with the LG Super Multi-blade drive. This was cheaper than the options provided through Apple yet just as effective. I have been more than happy with my purchase and continue to recommend this option to friends and family

Bought since alot of computers do not come with them anymore and I like to have the option just in case. Works well, not to loud and works fast.
