Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the 8x External USB 2.0 DVD±RW/±R/CD-RW Movie Writer's ease of use, compact size, and compatibility with various devices. Many appreciate its performance and quiet operation, along with the affordable price. While some users found the included software needed adjustments, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this concern. The ability to play Blu-ray discs is also a frequently cited advantage.

    I didn't buy this for a TV stand. My youngest just wanted an indoor rock climbing wall. It's only fell on him twice. He's such a good boy.

    My computer did not come with a DVD player so bought this one for downloading software and occasional Blu Ray movies. Works like a charm.

    I wish computer mfgrs would still include disk drives, but as they seem to be ending that practice, this is a good alternative

    Does NOT play Blurays on Mac

    I was disappointed because the Mac logo is big and easy to see on the box. But there is some very fine, faint grey print stating "Bluray title plays on Mac OS -- Software not included". I called up LG and they told me there they have no such software, but they are "working on that". Grrrrr. Yes it plays normal DVDs on my Mac just fine, but being able to also play Blurays on my Mac was a big selling point for me, so I feel deceived by the phrase "Bluray title plays on Mac OS". There is a Bluray software disc for Windows included with the product ... not for Macs.
