    When I bought my new all-in-one it didn't have a CD player this unit really does all I need it to do. I have both Blu-ray and DVD's and I don't need two different players or recorders.

    Really enjoying the simplicity of this external drive. It was plug and play, didn't have to worry about any drivers to install with my new computer. Fast copy speed to computer hard drive. I haven't tried to use a Blu-Ray yet, but should be much different.

    Works as it should. Was very simple to attach and get up and running. Seems well built, my first external drive will have to see how it holds up though. You will need to download a Bluray player software, which there are some free options online.

    Since most laptops don't come with a disc drive I picked this up for my son. The price was right and the device works great. My son can play CDs, DVD's and Blu-rays with this one. I highly recommend this device if you need a disc player.

    I was looking for an inexpensive burned for 25GB M-Discs. This one worked great right out of the box, after I installed and figured out the software that came with it.

    I got this player to use with my new laptop that did not have an optic drive. I use the player for my embroidery CDs. So far my Dell Computer reads the CDs from this player fine and it is compatible with my embroidery machine. No problems.

    The newer laptops are coming thinner these days by sacrificing CD drives. Unfortunately, I had programming software that was still on disk that needed to go in. This LG Bluray drive really did the trick and now the laptop can double as a mobile Bluray player for trips.

    I'm only using it for ripping my DVD and Blu-Ray collection into a server on a Mac, and I really haven't run into any issues with the drive using MakeMKV other than one or two discs that the kids managed to destroy.

    Good hardware, annoying software

    I bought this in order to play BluRay DVD movies on my laptop. The player unit does seem to work well, and yes, it (eventually) does play BluRay DVDs on my laptop. But be warned, you MUST install BluRay player software in order for this thing to work. The Cyberlink "PowerDVD" software included on DVD is difficult and annoying to get installed and working correctly (and that's on a new and highly specced Samsung laptop, not an older laptop), and the interface is intrusive and ugly. But it does work (eventually). You might want to find a different software solution

    Way faster than my old Blu-ray reader/rewriter. Love the look of it and it's relatively quiet compared to my old reader. Works well on my Mac and didn't have to install anything to have it recognized.

    The blu-ray works fine. My only complaint is that it is very noisy. When the disc spins you can hear a high pitch noise. However besides that it works just fine

    Loads fast and performs well, be wary of adware.

    It burns and plays Blu-ray disc(s) and lower. Its slim design allows this to be placed in almost any computer bag. Although it functions well, the software it comes with is 3rd-party and asks you to purchase things (adware) but it will still let you perform the necessary tasks to read the disc(s). I would have preferred it if LG had chosen a better partnership. Despite that, I am pleased with the response time when loading media into it.

    I purchased a new laptop that doesn't have an optical drive, but I needed to backup some video files on Blurays after storing them on hard drives. This LG is the best priced/quality external device I've seen/used in years and I highly recommend it!
