Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD drive for its ease of use, compact size, and reasonable price. The convenience of USB connectivity and broad compatibility are also appreciated. While some find the included software less useful, the drive is generally quiet in operation.

    I purchase this item on June 2022 and around March 2023 it stopped working and I had to go to Best Buy for them to get the dvd out of the player. I wouldn't recommend this LG External USB 2.0 Double Layer DVD RW/Ram/ CD-RW Drive because the equipment stopped working. I was shipped a new DVD player after contacting LG. But, I haven't used the new device yet. It is still in the box.

    Purchased this due to my MacBook Air doesn't have an internal drive for CD's. Also purchased a new vehicle that caused me too have to convert my music CD's to USB data storage flash drives and it works great so far.

    I got this cause most modern laptops don’t come with an optical drive. I had stored some stuff on CDs and DVDs a while back, and still have old programs on disc that I wanted to run. Does job ok.
