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 replaced my old player with this LG player and I am completely satisfied. The price was right for this player.

    This dvd external drive is great. The only set back is if you have a new tablet ie a surface pro you'll need to download a program for it to work.

    Awsome external blu-ray burner. You just have to have the programs to go with it to burn movies! Slick, sweet design though!

    The DVD player works great for movies on my Apple Computer, but the blu-ray does not. The product website does not give you info on what to download to make it work either. I would only recommend this if you don't plan to watch blu-ray movies on you apple computer. Think it will work on a PC.

    This product is interesting as its needed now with laptops. I honestly feel this is more of a hassle to deal with. This one in particular I'm still trying to get comfortable with this instead of having an internal cd drive. Though not too heavy it still adds another thing I need to carry around if I go out of town or traveling with my laptop

    Works fine. Annoying pop up every time you try to use it asking for you to upgrade. Best Buy employee assured me this would stop and there was no need to upgrade. Misinformed again....

    It seems the thinner and lighter laptops get...the less media functions they have. I bought this for a laptop that does not have any DVD/CD-ROM device. This thing also plays BLU-RAY...BONUS! The only thing I wish it had was a way to just hook it up directly to a TV.
