Many appreciate its performance and the affordable price point. However, some users have expressed concerns regarding the included software and the noise level during operation. The positive feedback on ease of use and Blu-ray playback outweighs the negative comments on software and noise.

    My computer is terrific. It plays dvds but not blu-ray or 3D. This unit adds both to my computer. I can now enjoy these formats as well as just dvd. I love it!

    This is a good buy for a external drive. My only issue is that it is noisy when spinning up a disk but other than that it is very good

    This product can write CDs and DVDs, and it can also play them. In addition, the rewriter can be used to watch videos stored on blu-ray discs. The product itself is small and thin giving it a portable design. It functions well, but takes two usb ports to perform operations. Furthermore, if you have some sort of installation media in the form of an optical disc and want to install the software on your computer this drive can help you. You can also backup your data with this rewriter.

    This is a quality LG dvd drive, but it is delicate in construction. I highly recommend a padded or hard case to go with it. Also, be careful when removing and inserting DVDs. Device performs well.
