    Disappointing

    Since I am not tech literate, my inability to use this machine well may be my lack of ability. Directions were difficult for me, buffering is a problem periodically, and I still have not figured out how to play blue-rays. It only plays DVD's on my MacBook Pro. Thought I would take it back except I have several DVD's that I can enjoy using it.

    Rarely used these days, I still found it convenient to have around for some installations and playing the older movies that didn't come with digital copies.

    This was purchased to play CD's primarily and it does that as well as Blue Ray discs. Connected and enumerated on USB first time and every time and the player software sees it and runs great.

    This drive was bought for a hp envy 13t. I could have bought on-line but the store salesman was helpful, knowlegable, and not pushy. I therefore did not mind spending a little extra.

    The new mobile devices like Surface or Mac do not come with optical drives and in many cases we still need them for legacy content. This is a great option for a Reader/Writer

    Works perfect as an external CD drive for my Dell all-in-one. I wish the power cord was a little longer, but in general I've had tremendous success with it.

    We had just purchased a new laptop which did not have a DVD drive. We use the laptop in the car for movies for the kids. This works great for this purpose.

    1. some minor issues - slowness, tried to erase and rewrite DVD but it didnt work since it was written with DVD writer, so I had to erase it first with DVD writer and then blu-ray writer worked to write DVD (with issues). 2. as of now I haven't tried writing any blu-ray (its been a week). 3. reading Blu-ray is just fine. 4. for the price of a product, the quality is ok.

    It's too bad that computers don't come with CD/DVD players anymore, but this is a great alternative. Amazing picture from Blu-Ray and regular DVDs.

    This is my second LG external CD read/write unit. I used my first one so much that I literally wore it out. I had such good use of it that I wanted to get another LG unit to replace it.

    With most laptops and some desktops coming without CD / DVD / BLU-RAY drives, this make a perfect addition. I have not burned any BLU-RAYs with it yet, but have used it more than once to play them.
