Portable Blu-ray DVD drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A portable USB Blu-ray DVD drive that is powered by USB. It comes with a dual USB cable for powering the drive, so you must have two available USB ports to use. It is Blu-ray and comes with software to watch movies, etc. On installing software it also updated the firmware of the drive. This took quite a while and stalled, but didn't effect the computer or DVD drive.

I little noisy but it gets the job done.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gets the job done but it’s a little noisy and lightweight with a short cable. A great option for mobility but not the best for a desktop permanent install at least in comparison to my older LG bluray burner that features a strong housing.

Easy to use DVD Player
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this DVD player to be used in my church for entertaining and training. It is easy to connect to the multi-port device that I purchased. Because it is a Blue-ray, and I only had one port available, I did need to get the multi-port, but now all is well. Very glad I purchased this Blu-ray Disc Player. I only knew about this through the assistance of David Williams, who is the technical consultant for Best Buy. He is great to work with.

Easy to use Plug-N-Play External Drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This LG unit is a slim-design Blu-ray, DVD, CD player/writer that makes a very good addition to a Windows PC that lacks an internal drive for these functions. I was able to plug in the drive and install personal application software from disc without even first loading the included Cyberlink media software for Windows. Once Cyberlink's apps were installed, DVD and Blu-ray playback were simple. I have not attempted to use the included backup software, but am reasonably certain that the drive should handle file storage, backup and recovery functions as well. My only complaints are related to the USB connection cable supplied with the drive. It provides a maximum length of two feet, and this limits the location at which the drive may be placed when space around the computer is limited. Additionally, be aware that for Blu-ray playback, the USB cable includes a second connector that is also needed for power, at a very restrictive distance from the primary connector, so you will need two close USB ports on your PC for Blu-ray playback. I think the overall quality is good for the price, although with such a slim design, I think an automatic disc feed and ejection would have been more impressive. The mechanical disc loading tray seems a bit thin, with a minimum of material that gives the drive a cheap feel. It seems durable enough, but also seems a bit dated in design.

Great drive for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it is a pretty good drive. It does everything I wanted it to, and it is nice and small. It works very well on all my PCs and will read and write DVDs and BluRays just fine. On my Mac, though, not so much. While DVDs work fine, I have been unable to get any BluRay functionality at all and I've tried. It isn't the drive's fault, however. The software that comes with the drive is ok, but is PC only. That being said, it still works well with DVDs on Mac. Just don't get your hopes up of using BluRays with this drive and a Mac.

reads blue-rays, but the media cd didn't work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got it for the blu-ray capabilities. Still though since the media cd wasn't compatible with the blu-ray player for some reason I took off a point. Still works like well as expected.

Very nice Blu ray player
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most new lap tops don't come with DVD drives anymore. We paid a little more for this drive. It's well worth it, since my son likes watching Blu rays in his room. Extremely easy to use
