    Does exactly what I need it to do. I neede an external cd/DVD player/burner for my Mac. Less expensive than the Mac product but does exactly the same thing. Was highly recommended by the Best Buy sales associate.

    I love how sleek this drive is. It connected right to my desktop and ran flawlessly, it didn't even get really hot with long use. Glad I decided to try it out.

    So far the separate drive works great !!! If it were attached to PC and became unusable, the external is available. But, I purchased a computer without optical drive just for that reason.

    I wish laptops still came standard with the dvd/cd drive, but since they dont, these plug in drives are the next best thing! Plug and play. Works perfectly

    With so many laptops eschewing CD/DVD drives, this is a must. It was a very intuitive product. Helped us scan in our old CDs.

    Since my new Mac Pro computer doesn't have a CD slot I had to buy this portable unit. It works as well as an included CD player and is small enough to take with in a back pack.

    Seems to be working fine. BUT, no available information on how to install it, if it has to be installed. Nothing in the App Store, no instructions, and what little I could find on YouTube always displayed it being hooked up to a lap top, not and iMac OS Desktop. Manufacturers need to remember not all of us know how to do all things computer. Put some instructions in or on the box.

    I haven’t had any difficulties with this burner. I go through spurts where it is used very frequently and time when it just collects dust and it’s still very reliable.

    Works well with a 2019 iMac. The slide in/out can be a problem with a cd that has a sticker around the middle (the reason for not 5 stars).

    I've not experienced any of LG's products that aren't excellent, and this is just another example of that/ It plays my DVD's and CD's, and eventually I'll get around to testing its ability to also record my saved music to some of the blank DVD's I have somewhere in the garage. All around, it exceeds expectations and was an excellent buy!
