    I am very happy with this product. I and the wife each bought a new computer. Neither computer came with a disc drive but we have lots of software that is still on disc as well as music and photos. The external drive is convenient and quiet in operation. I still write DVDs to store photos from my hobby and this works great. I give this little external Disc Drive 5-Stars.

    A cheap way to have a burner but without having to buy the most expensive laptop. Supposedly it works with most modern day TVs that has a USB port. It’s about the size of a dvd case and all as advertised. I paid 20$ after taxes using my member rewards so it’s an excellent choice.

    Works great and looks good. However wish it was a little bit quieter and that the software to use the drive/play DVDs didn't require an user registration.

    Needed an external drive for a laptop that didn't have a built-in drive. This does the trick; it's fast and lightweight so you don't care about bringing it in the case with the laptop. The outer case feels quite flimsy, though, so I'm concerned about durability.

    I bought this for my gaming PC because it did not come with a disc drive. This was a great price, and def something worth purchasing. I have ended up using it with my laptop as well, because it's compact and easy to take with you or move. I recommend!

    I purchased this extra LG DVD burner/player because I have one already and find that it is very handy to have because of it performance and slim form factor. I have been using this LG DVD player/burner for a couple years already and when I saw it on sale, I decided to grab another one.

    Very compact and lightweight. Performs as advertised. I was hoping for a more solid case, but the trade off is the light weight. I bought this unit as a companion to a new Dell laptop I bought and really just needed it to install some productivity software I had on discs. Bought it on sale so the value was right!

    I needed a really simple easy to use DVD drive for my Intel NUC PC so I decided to try this LG USB drive. I just plugged it into an open USB slot, Windows 10 found the correct driver and it was ready to go in no time at all. I've used it for CD's and DVD's and it works great. Very compact and USB powered so no wall wart needed. I knocked off one star because it doesn't always seem to read at the highest speed specified by LG and it's only USB 2.0. But for the price that's understandable. Otherwise a good simple USB drive.

    I build and repair computers as a side job, and I had a customer that still required a DVD drive with his new laptop. This portable unit is light and supports the disc formats he needed. The unit only requires one USB connection.
