Processes info fast, worth the price. better than a regular writer.

This disc reader/writer is fast and accurate. Easy setup.

My desktop and Laptop both lack disk drives, didn't see this as a problem, I haven't had a need to use a CD or DVD in ages. However Recently my roomate whos computer also doesnt have a CD drive received a disk with document's on it that they needed access to. So since I am the electronics nerd, and I'm most likely to need one in the future anyway, decide I'll buy external drive. Being able to both Read and Write Blue-Ray disks seemed to be a decent bonus and out of the drives available in store this seemed a good choice. It works just fine, but I wish I noticed that it was USB2.0 before I bought it. I assumed mistakenly that since It was a Blue-Ray burner it would have been at least usb 3.0 at this point. This makes it dreadfully slow for the few uses it has in my case. As I had planned on using it to backup a lot of non essential data to disks to clear out room on some of my drives. At USB 2.0 speeds that's a bit of a crap idea. If I find a higher speed drive I'll be returning this asap. Nothing wrong with it, works fine, just usb2.0 wasn't what I was expecting. Live and Learn.

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.

This is an excellent drive, but, thought it is supposed to be a Mac compatible drive, Apple doesn't provide Blu-ray software. You have to find a third party program. Then, the drive works fine.

Love this. So glad to add to my pc. I can listen to my cds and watch my movies on my pc and laptop since it doesn’t come with disc reader anymore

LG makes great products and this one is a winner. Thank Best Buy for having $25 off!!

Perfection. Does it all. Reliable. Easy to use. My new standard for everything. Nothing more is needed.

Reads discs quickly, came with software to play blu-rays so I don't have to look for one elsewhere. Runs kinda loud when reading and then periodically when re-reading, but not too bad if you've got headphones

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.

Light weight, easy to carry and very fast speed rewriter.

This works really well. It does make a high pitched whine when really ramped up (what drive doesn't), but I do have it fairly close to me. Otherwise you don't really hear it that much especially if you had it hidden etc.

Well it worked alright and it was fast, but they unit was very loud and with its variable speed feature it would speed up and slow down so it made a lot of whining.

I was advised by the Best Buy salesman to purchase this disk player because my new HP computer doesn't have a built in disk player like my original HP computer . This disk player plays normal dvds and also Blu-ray dvds which my previous disk player wasn't able to do!

Very easy to use. Plug into the computer, slide a CD in and you're all set.

This device is one of those things that gets the job done. The 2 usb male ends is a bit confusing to get to plug in and play. Also its very loud when it runs. Not sure if it can be downloaded to my ipad pro yet. But ill need a dock to try it it since it takes 2 usb ports to run its features properly. The media disc takes extremely long time to load also. But it ran ok it did freeze while viewing a blue-ray disc not sure if was due to dirty disc or the player itself. So i give it avg rating

Easy to set up and great results. Small and quiet.

Works great, easy set up and everyone in the family can use it.

Works Great For Watching Movies On My Desktop. Just A Little Loud At Times but Works For My Intended Purpose

I use this for my laptop easy to install watch Blu-ray movies
