Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since no laptops include a DVD drive anymore, this is a must have if you want to watch movies on your laptop. My old computer had a built in drive so I definitely needed this. It's nice that it plays blu-ray too. The included software seems to work well so far.

The sound quality is excellent and the unit exceeded my expectations. It is super easy to connect and use. Great product as I would like to truly thank the Best Buy Associate that made the suggestion instead of the one I almost purchased for the same price.

Compact, easy to connect, great software, fast, easy to use.

This is a great disk reader for slim laptops that may not gave a disc drive

I bought a new MacBook Air for Xmas and it doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive. I need a drive to install some software, and this one was on sale. I have only written a CD with it so I can't attest to writing to other media. I've watched both BluRay and DVD movies with it without issue.

It's my second one. First player saw 1000's of dvd/cd's and still will works, just slowing down and needs a little encouraging to to get started. I liked the old one so much, and it served me well, I bought the same one again.

Worked as expected, just make sure your Bios can see it.

this meets our needs with hobby of recording oldies, watching our dvd collection, and we can record with this as well. In all excellent for working with our surface book 3. It does make noise while playing but it is not inside anything to reduce noise and we knew this before hand while doing research on product.

Does everything i need it to do with very easy set up.

Fast and quiet Cd ROM drive for my newest in-home computer, which is not equipped with a built-in. As it is has USB connection interfaces, it provides me with the ability to transfer data from old my older burned CDs that I am now able to transfer data to my new system.

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

Works great! The software to play BluRay and DVD is easy to use. Unfortunately for DVD you still have the region lock, so choose wisely since you can only change 5 times. I used the two usb ports on my laptop. Very silent too.

Great Blu-ray player. Hooked up quick and plays great .

It's nice to have an optical drive again. Modern laptops just don't seem to come with them, and the case for my desktop doesn't even have a slot for an externally accessed drive. It was worth throwing the extra money to get Bluray as well as DVD burning and access.

These days, no decent laptop has CD/DVD drives anymore. This one fills that gap, and helps use the many CDs at home on those laptops, as well as helps burn photo and movie CDs/BluRays through those laptops. Self power (through 2nd USB connector) is also convenient (although I realize why some may not like it...).

Reads and writes on blu-ray disks, exactly as specified. Bought to replace an internal blu-ray RW drive in a tower computer that went defunct a few years ago. Accesses the disks I had backed files up on.

You expect a Blue-ray player to play Blue-ray movies on it. I got it to play movies on my laptop. And you know what? It freek''n works like you would expect. Nothing more - nothing less. Perfect.

This item is exactly as advertised. There is no extra noise when playing dvd's . Very quiet. It's small size fits in my laptop case and attaches with one cord. No battery, it gets it power from the laptop. It does however take two USB ports. This is the only down side of this unit. Yes, would definitely recommend and buy again.

Very easy to use and operate requires no Transformers or batteries to worry about going dead just plugged in to devise a laptop and that it operate requires no Transformers or batteries to worry about going dead just plugged in to devise a laptop and that's it

The LG Blu-ray DVD-RW is a super compact unit and simple to setup. It comes with the necessary cable, which is a plus. I only wish it came with a USB 3.0 connection.
