    Buy the extended warranty

    I've owned 4 of these, one at a time. Best Buy has cheerfully replaced each of them. I got the extended warranty, which I normally never buy, but I recommend it for this. #1 lasted 11 months, then would no longer write DVDs. #2 lasted 9 months, then would no longer read DVDs. #3 was bad out of the box: extremely noisy because the motor was unbalanced. It would read some disks, but not others. I exchanged it the next day. #4 has worked perfectly so far. I'd rate the product lower because of reliability, but if you want a bluRay player, this is really your only choice. And it's an amazing product when it works. I use the included software for BluRay disks, and VLC to play DVDs.

    Bought 2 to start with first one tried was bad, no computer we had would recognize it. This was Linux, Mac and windows machines. Other one worked as advertised. Traded in the bad one and so far the next one has worked great.

    This is ideal for those for you who still have blu-ray discs but no laptops with a built-in player. It is very compact, comes with player software, and very easy to install. Note: The player requires 2 USB ports (one to power it and the other to transfer the video data). It works with USB 2.0 and 3.0.

    I recently bought a new computer, and needed to be able to view records that were presented to me on disk. I also wanted to be able to watch blue ray movies since sometimes the movies I want to watch aren't available on Netflix or Hulu when I want to watch them. Worked for me.

    With the boom of Blu-ray a cd drive seems a bit long in the tooth. Love LG stuff and this does not disappoint. The only disappointment is Windows. If you have Windows 8 or 10 it does not have have a media player that will play Blu-rays. Take that into consideration before buying.

    It made sense for me to buy this because my HDTV is connected to my computer too. I was surprised by the quality of Blue-Rays this drive proved awesome no buffering just pure performance all in all! My DVD player software said plays DVDs so I thought I'd give it a try.

    Use this with my ASUS laptop, great product, very fast and accurate, perform a backup to a Blu Ray disc on a weekly basis, no issues ever and the speed isn't bad either. Price paid was a good value for what you get and the Brand is a well known reputation in quality products, would buy again.
