    Needed an external burner for a Surface Pro, and decided to try this BluRay version. It installed with no issues, ran well, fairly quick, and ran using Windows 10 built in drivers. Still testing it out, but a good buy for the price.

    This blu-ray writer was a great investment and a great addition to my laptop. It is very fast and reliable. I burned my sons football games this year to a Blu-ray Disc. The resolution was unbelievable!!! You won't be disappointed.

    Lightweight Blue-ray burner works well w Ultrabook

    Using this with my HP ZBook 14 Mobile Workstation Ultrabook. I have already burned a batch of discs on it without trouble, and playback is great. I was surprised by how light the drive is, yet it feels relatively sturdy. Adding to keeping it light for traveling, it does not have an external power adapter (thank you LG), but you will want to have a couple USB ports alongside each other on your computer if you are going to use the supplied cable without extension adapters, since the cable is one of those dual ended ones that uses one USB connection for data, the other for power. If this is going to be a deal breaker and you are looking for a burner, but not necessarily a Blue-ray unit, look at the LG SP80NB60 (LG - Ultra Slim 8x Max. DVD Write Speed External USB DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive) - it uses a single USB port.

    This drive works great to play blu-rays on my new iMac that does not have an optical drive. My only complaint is that the software included did not include blu-ray software for a mac so I had to download software for a third party.

    This drive works with macOS without software install. I'm very happy have this. I recommend it and would buy it again for myself. My system: 2017 iMac 27 inch. The LG external disc drive is powered by the USB cable. Some reviewers mention this drive seems fragile. I think it is fine. Certainly not rugged. But it is an optical drive with precision laser technology. It should be handled with care. I bought it to copy school movies and pictures that were given to us over the years on Blu-Ray and CD. Before we get too far into the future, I wanted to get an external drive to copy those files to an SSD and backup online.... before optical disc technology disappears like VHS tapes.

    In a day and age when media devices aren't even put into laptops anymore (stupid), this device was exactly what I needed! Works great especially for someone like me who doesn't have high speed access to stream (nothing available) and hotel WiFi that isn't fast enough when traveling.

    Haven't needed an external DVD drive for years since they were standard in laptops. Now that laptops are morphing into tablets, no room. So here we go. This device is small and worked well. Not sure how much use it will see but at least I have it if needed. Great value for the price.

    My Asus - ROG GL502VT 15.6" Laptop didn't come with a dvd burner, so I opted to grab this one from Best Buy and very glad I did! Got to use some of my best buy rewards to help make the purchase, making it even sweeter! Quiet and fast, which is really what I wanted. Couldn't be happier!
