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.

    I purchased a new Mac mini that has no way of playing DVD's or CD's. This player solves that problem and is easy to connect and play.

    Really love this disc player/recorder! You plug it into the USB and it works! No drama. Records faster than my internal disc recorders (no errors!). Plays Blu-Ray DVDs on my laptop. Very slim and portable.

    I purchased this drive with the intent to rip my blu-ray movies that didn't come with a digital code, and I have not been disappointed. It works very well, and I don't see a loss in quality.

    We love watching blu-ray movies on our iMac, so we purchased the LG Writer that is so easy to use...it's just plug it in, and pop in a disc. Great product.

    This Blu-Ray drive is easy to use. I have used it with both Windows and Mac and it is as easy as plugging it in to a USB port. I did not need to install the included software. I would recommend it.

    I am a diehard LG anything buyer, but this thing is loud! Works just fine, but reminds me of disk drives from 15 - 20 years ago.

    This was not exactly the connect-and-play piece of equipment I was expecting. It took three calls to the Geek squad and two personal visits to Best Buy to find someone who could help us get it to play. It's working now and it's fine but I came very close to returning it.

    Compact and easy to use. Only complaint was the power connection cable. The assumption is that two usb ports are side by side. But works with one.
