Customer Ratings & Reviews

I miss Bluray drives for PC. I’m not completely sold with the disc-less computers out there. This little unit handles everything perfectly!

The good: It’s fast, quiet, and slim. Best of all, you can flash it with LibreDrive to do UHD Blu-ray’s (it’ll only do standard Blu-ray’s otherwise). The bad: It requires the highly customized micro-USB cable that has 2 USB-A ports on the other end. Since you can’t use a standard cable, you can’t make it longer or shorter to fit your needs. This would have been so easily solved with USB-C or micro-USB B 3.0.

Good thin player for playing Blu-ray. I have used it with a windows 10 laptop and a windows 11 desktop. To date I have only used to play movies and haven’t used the burn capability so I cannot comment on that function. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a portable player.

I wish that apple would develop a blu-ray player in the computers. Since they don't I purchase this since it was at an excellent price. It is very easy to use and works excellently with my MacBook Pro. I love it.

Haven't used it much but so far it's working good. I tried a Blu-ray movie on it and it works on our HP Omen just fine. I haven't tried to burn a disc yet but I'm sure it will work. Nice design only flaw I've noticed is it's very loud when it's spinning at full speed but that's kinda expected but only complaint would be is that it's so light and on a desk surface when it's spinning full speed it tends to vibrate around and move on the desk. Obviously u can sit something beside it to keep it from moving around but it's something to think about

I was looking for an external drive that would let me play my CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray. I came across this little gem of a player. It's very compact; sits unobtrusively right atop my computer, and performs its core functions very nicely. It does take up two USB ports, but I plugged it and two external HDs into a four-port USB hub, plugged that hub into a USB port on my CPU, and all the devices work just fine.

Needs two USB ports for data and power if using in Blu-ray mode, otherwise only needs one port for using standard DVD format items. If using VLC app with this player region doesn't matter. Only if you use the native player with this LG will you have those constraints.

Perfect! Excellent exactly what I wanted it for. My computer doesn't have a disk drive so this was excellent. Choice works perfectly plug and Play

Like this product & was easy to install with included Cyberlink Media Suite Software. Only problem was I installed in my personal computer which is a 32bit which was fine but then tried to install in my work laptop which is a 64bit & it would not install. I even went as far as downloading Windows XP mode to my laptop which gave it 32bit functionality and was then able to install but it only gave me trial versions of Media Suite. I have sent messages to Cyberlink to address this but no reply back & I am only asking if the software disk was only a one time application, to buy software alone your looking at $70 plus for it almost as much as the drive itself. A reply back from Cyberlink would be nice.

Nice little device for playing DVDs and Blu-rays on a laptop or desktop and for backing up physical media. It is not compatible with two newish TVs that I tried, which is a bit disappointing. While not my primary purpose for purchasing it, TV playback would be a nice option.

Easy install disc included, plug and play usb very easy awesome. might buy another one for my tv.

Add optical drive to your laptop or desktop PC. This plays Blu-Ray or DVD disks or records data to blank blu-ray or DVDs. Most laptops and desktops no longer have optical drives, so this fills that gap with a portable drive that is interchangeable between devices.

Great drive, quick access and copy capabilities. Very nice!

Overall, I am very pleased with this drive. I haven't checked the rewriting capabilities, so I can't comment on them, but everything else is great. All I needed was a simple Blu-ray player for an old computer, and the really cheap ones on other sites make me nervous. LG is a brand I more-or-less trust, the reviews for this drive were consistently positive, and the price was very good. It worked great out of the box, it comes with the software necessary to watch Blu-ray movies, and I really have nothing negative to say about it.

Nice compact size. Easy setup. Only possible downside is it needs two USB ports to connect it to a computer and may be an issue if the compurt it is being connected to doesn't have any or many free USB ports available. Nice software suite that comes with it.

If you need to burn blu-rays or dvds, or to just play discs, this unit will meet your needs! All software is included and is quite comprehensive. Can be a bit noisy with some discs, but not terrible. Be warned that this uses a dual USB-A plug, so you'll need 2 open ports on your computer to use it. Since I have ports on each side of the laptop, I just use a usb extension cable to connect the second usb plug. Kinda wish this model used USB-C, rather than micro-USB, though

I love this Disc Player, plays hundreds of my compact Disk Movie titles, my disc inscribed instructions/warranty info and I can write, edit and re-write on blank discs to create my own CD content, and it plays both regular and Blu-ray formatted discs, again, I say "I Love It!!" You will too.

Does everything I need it to do. Caught it on sale as well.

The drive works great for watching movies, loading software that is on CD & writing DVDs. One small thing - the hole in the included CyberLink Media Suite CD (software for watching movies) is too small. I have to force it onto the drive's spindle or else the drive can't read it. I'm using different software to watch movies anyway.

I got this as my new laptop didn't have a built in Blu-ray player. It is really easy to install the software and works great. Really small and light weight so it would be easy to take with you on a trip etc.. Speed is quick.
