Many appreciate its performance and the affordable price point. However, some users have expressed concerns regarding the included software and the noise level during operation.

    The only thing I don't like about it is the software that comes with it. Lots of bugs, so I uninstalled it and installed another player app.

    Works well. I changed the firmware so that it can read UHD discs with MakeMKV.

    I bought this so I’d have an external dvd reader/writer that would also read blu-early discs. This does exactly that. Very quiet & hasn’t failed to read a disc yet

    Works great as a player or burner, with one exception. Included software will not play Blue-Ray disc. You must first upgrade software. Found 3rd party software that worked better than enclosed disk.

    This burner is a great product. It loads fast and is fairly quiet for an external unit. I only wish it was a little heavier so i didn't have to hold it to close it. Operation is perfect!

    I use this mostly to play CDs and DVDs and it works great with my MacBook Pro. I have not tried to copy anything yet, so I can not tell about that yet. Great price.

    No installation instructions made for a tricky set up, but A quick search of the good ol' interweb got us up and running in no time. Download a Blu-ray software manager for your Mac and it comes to life.

    Works great, but requires additional software to work with my Mac. Good Blu Ray software can be hard to find if free, or expensive.

    I got the LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black because my laptop did not come with a DVD or Blue-ray. With it being USB I can attach it to any computer or TV pretty much and use it.

    Make sure you have a powered USB hub or the like. Works fairly well with the iMac, but does have issues waking up when attempting to eject with the front panel button, but not an issue.

    Very good product. It has the dual USB plugs for servers that require both to be connected for power to the device. It writes very fast to CD, DVD and Blu-ray. I have not had any issues with it in the 2 months I had it. I give it a thumbs up! :)

    Purchased this item to replace a different one that I bought online. It keep disconnecting from my laptop. This LG never disconnects & I haven't had any issues with it. It's a great product for the price.
