Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great little drive. Didn't have any issues making it work with my new Mac Book Pro. Would have like to have some Mac Blu Ray Software with the drive, but all in all it did what I wanted it to do.

Bought this to convert our film library to a media center, This is fast and rips high quality files. We haven't had any issue with skipping. The small size makes it easy to store.

Excellent unit, it even comes with supporting software.

very easy to set up and easy to use. need one for cd's and dvd's for the Mac mini. very helpful staff

This player is recognized at once by the OSX system but requires a BluRay application to play disks. Small price for a portable BluRay.

works well, comes with software that will play blu-ray movies for you, A+

Small compact and easy to use. Great to have when the power and/or the internet are out.

I had just purchased a Lenovo Yoga laptop computer this past January (2020) and of course, most manufacturers no longer include a DVD+RW/CD-RW player in their lap-top computers in order to keep the weight down. However, I find on occasion it's nice to be able to play a movie on it when the need arrives. Plus, I have some older software on CD's that I can now install on my new laptop. This LG DVD+RW/CD-RW player works beatifully. I've had no problems whatsoever. I'm very pleased with the product! Purchased on 1/26/2020 at Best Buy.

I bought this for a specific reason. I built a new pc that didn't come with the drive bays needed to an install an internal dvd burner. I bought this one to install the drivers and it works just fine. It's pretty cool having a portable dvd/ blu ray writer though.

This product does everything it says it will, without fuss or fail. I bought it as an add-on optical drive for a computer that didn't have one built in, and no form factor to install one internally. I wanted it for backup, playing CDs, DVDs and BDs, and it does all to my satisfaction.

I recently bought a new laptop from BB that did not have a built-in optical drive [the current trend]. I also have an 8TB NAS I planned to put my Blu-ray videos on for streaming through my home entertainment system. This drive is what I chose after reading about issues with other drives. The upside is that it works great but the downside is that the first one had issues [caused the dreaded blue-screen of death while ripping]. It took a while to figure out that the crash was caused by the hardware [those cryptic error messages in the Windows 10 Event Viewer hinted at it] and a quick exchange for a different drive cleared up the problem. I have already ripped over 100 titles to my server and enjoy video streaming in full 1080p HD with no loss of quality. And accessing videos in the same way I access high-resolution audio is a big plus for convenience. If it weren't for the minor hardware issue, I would rate this drive as 5 stars.

This product is easy to use. Simplistic out of the box. Comes with Cyberlink Power DVD 19 along with it. Can be plugged into a tv with USB ports just use the tv remote to control while using. And small for people who likes to travel.

The LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Re-writer works great with my new gaming laptop that has no optical drive. Many newer slim laptops and tablets do not have optical drives and this is a great solution. The price at $89.99 is nice since regular dvd/dvdrw/cd/cdrw drives are similar in price or not much less and are bulky. It is slim and easily stored in a laptop bag or even a sleeve with an outside pocket. It is powered from the USB port so it may take two ports to power and use on an older machine or one USB 3.0 will do the job nicely. Plays and burns all optical discs up to 100GB. You may need additional software to play your Blu-ray movies. No software is provided. Definitely would recommend this to anyone needing an optical drive for their portable device.

Perfect for my new Laptop...making the laptops thinner means a minor loss of some accessories we are used to having, like the drive...this is small compact and easy to connect when I need it and stores easily when I do not.

Good speed. Reliable. Easy to store because of its size. Wish it was USB-C but eh.

The drive is easy to install and works great the drive is small and doesn’t require much space

Easy to set up. This is the 2nd one I purchased, bought this one for another laptop user in the home. I have had my first one for several years (same player) and have never had any problems with it. Highly recommend if you need a blu-ray/dvd player.

So far, it is what I needed. Easy hook up to my MacBook and started right away. Small and light, easy to transport. Burned quickly and successfully. Highly recommend this product.

Great device, two thumbs up, 5 stars, Easy to use to watch Blu-Rays ad to burn them! Great overall works like a charm! I love it and a great price to boot!!!

If you need an external USB Blu-Ray drive, you can't go wrong with this one. It may be a bit more expensive than the no name brands but you get what you pay for. Works great on older machines as well as the newest Windows 10 systems.
