Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Bought this for use with my iMAC and it works great. Note the software inside the box is only for Windows so you will need to provide your own software. Leawo had a suite for about $100 that meets all the DVD/Blue Ray playing/burning/converting on Apple OS. It can extract a Blue ray in about 15 minutes so just what I was looking for. Highly recommend it. 5 stars would have been to also provide an apple OS version.

I bought this product at the last minute, around the end of the year. I had a few movies around the house and wanted to see if I could get them to play on my computer. Unfortunately, the software the player comes with is quite temperamental and slow, so this wasn't an efficient way to watch them. It's a shame computers don't come with optical drives anymore. I didn't think I'd have a need or use for one in 2023/2024, but here we are. Overall, I'd recommend the product, as it starts quickly when connected to a computer.

This is a great blu ray writer drive for under $100. Works with many formats and is seamless with my laptop that doesn’t have its own internal drive.

Easy-to-use and it is a good value. I liked the no hassle plug in.

My only complaint about this, is that you have to have at least two USB ports right next to each other on your computer in order for this to be usable. Or you can always buy a USB power strip, just with this price I would expect it to be a little more user friendly. Also, the fact that you seem to have to download and use only the cyberlink software is kind of an annoyance. Once you get it plugged in and everything installed it works really well, even on uneven surfaces.

I bought this drive because I just bought a Asus G751 and its DVD drive was DOA. I actually opened the drive and extracted and installed it in my Asus and it fit just perfectly,(it is a 9.5mm drive btw). So far the drive has worked great for me and have had no problems with the hardware. The software that is included though is hopelessly outdated, as of this review the newest version of PowerDVD is 15, what is included is PowerDVD 10... It works on Windows 8.1 but with Windows 10 around the corner I am worried that it will have issues. Over all though, for 85 Dollars this is a steal.

External Blu-ray drives get spotty performance reviews so I wasn’t sure which to buy. I’m partial to LG products so I went with this one. I purchased this drive to rip my Blu-ray library, and I’ve had no problems with its performance whatsoever. It comes with optional 3rd party video software that runs on Windows, not Mac. It runs on both PC and Mac platforms. It requires 2 side by side USB ports to run, one for power and one for data transfer, so if you want to use it on a newer a Mac you’ll likely need a hub. It’s all plastic so be sure to treat it as breakable.

Purchased online and shipped to home. Arrived on the given date. The DVD RW/Player worked perfectly to play movies. Which was in intended use. No software to download first. The device comes with one USB cable with two USB plug ends.I plugged the device in with using only one of the two USB ends. Opened the door, put in a BlueRay movie and closed the door. The movie played within 10 seconds. Worked perfectly. No issues at all. Apple products seem to interface with everything I need and with no drivers or software to download. Not like silly Windows stuff I used to struggle with for years. Great product.

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

Solid 4K blu-ray burner. Good compatibility, When using the drive, make sure it does not move. The tolerances on the device are pretty tight and the eye could scratch a disk if the drive gets bumped while reading discs.

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.

Quite compact. Feels a bit delicate, and isn't particularly quiet. It would be a little loud for watching blu rays. It hasn't had any trouble reading the disks I've fed it. You don't need to plug it into two USB ports if you have a more modern, powerful port available.

Perfect for what I needed. A lot of newer laptops are coming out and have no disc drive, well I needed something for long airplane rides or long road trips when WiFi is unavailable to keep the kids entertained. It is small and compact to easily throw in a bag. The only thing holding it back is all the extra software they try to get you to install with it. Some of it is unnecessary so I suggest looking closely at what boxes you check when downloading the software.

I like the portability of the drive but it is very loud and the programs it comes with are not great. Overall a great drive.

Very slim and lightweight! Works great!! Also able to play blu ray!
