Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it, fast drive, plug and play. Bought a second one for my laptop. Included software is excellent. Drive works well with Fedora Linux

My new laptop did not come with a DVD/CD drive, so I figured as long as I needed to purchase an external drive to install computer software, I might as well get one that can play Blu-ray discs as well. This will allow me to watch movies if I were away from home. My son highly recommended I purchase this model because he has had a good experience with it. I don't think I would ever need to burn anything on Blu-ray discs, so I have no concerns there. The only thing I wish it had was longer USB cords, because my laptop only has 1 USB port on each side, making their cord too short. Luckily for me, I had a longer cable with a USB adapter connector in my desk drawer to use. No additional purchase was necessary. Perhaps LG needs to take that into consideration as laptops have fewer ports.

What I love that this device made everything so easy. You simply plug it in to your laptop or computer and it automatically detects the device and what needs to be done next in order to finish whatever project you may have. Highly recommend it for the price and everything it does

Hook it right up to my computer works great my only complaint is the software keeps advertising to upgrade for a price

The drive functions as expected, with as formats I tested. The software did, nothing. Would not load or play. Customer serviced did solve the problem by download a different program.

In this era of streaming it is becoming harder and harder to find players for our DVDs. As I work on the road, I need something compact that I can travel with and this fills the bill nicely. Thanks LG for yet another terrific product.

I bought this burner as well as a comparable Pioneer Blu-ray burner. I got 2 different brands because that's all that was in the store and I needed more than one. This works just as well as the Pioneer one - easy to use and got burn speeds as advertised.

External Blu Ray DVD + RW/CD - RW disc rewriter I have been wanting for a long time. I have not had a chance to use it yet. Typically I check with cnet before purchasing a product.

This Blu-ray DVD burner does everything it claims effectively and effeciently. I've been using it a lot. And not once so far have I been disappointed. It is convenient, small and for my laptop is perfect.

Works well so far; no problems. Does what I need it for.

So far it has worked with every movie I’ve tried in it whether it’s a Blu-Ray disc or DVD.

My old player was getting to be a pain and this one works great. Easy to connect and use and works well with my system (HP Omen) and software (Corel WinDVD Pro 12). It comes with software, but I just needed the hardware.

It works as one expected ,very good for blu rays ,no issues so far even with extracting files from the discs

This is a great external, USB Blu ray player. Compact, quiet light weight and does the job. I use mine exclusively to scan Blu ray operas (5.1 audio) into my lap top computer (MKv). NAS for later viewing on home ethernet. Good value external player.

This device is very simple to set up and use. It includes a disc with software and all that, but it is not required for its use. I've had this product for about 9 months and it's not showing any signs of age yet

When I received this player I put it on my hub and it didn't play correctly, I thought it might be my software and I played around with the settings and that didn't help. SO i moved the various cables to my laptop and hooked the player directly to my machine. I was amazed, everything worked fine. Moral of this is hook it directly to the main unit and it should be fine.It plays very well and gives you a great picture!

Works great for playing Blu-rays. Work good for my ripping projects

This LG Ultra Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer is perfect for quickly downloading data from BD, DVD or CDs. Its perfect for a gaming computer with extra USB ports.

I bought this product for my work - I ended up purchasing the wrong writer (my fault, not the products) however, I found this to be easy to use, great instructions and to be functional. It's very light and portable.

Fast! Just what I needed for all my secret needs. Price was right.
