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.

    Bought this for my Surface and worked well. Have burned couple of Blu-ray discs without problems. Wish it was $10 cheaper.

    I purchased this for home use. Computers are getting smaller and we sacrifice such things as cd drives. This unit was easy to set up and works with no problems.

    Love this! Compact, sleek, uses very little space and the quality of play is fantastic! I have a very small area for my 'gadgets' and this was a great purchase!

    Simply great, just plug it and let it do the playing for you. Drawback is you need to update the firmware.

    Bought this LG Blueray player so I could upload DVD's to my Flixter Account. It took some doing, but I finally got it to work. The downside is not with the Blueray player, but rather that some titles are not upload-able to Flixter even if you offer to pay the upload fee when the title is not Ultraviolet. On a positive note, I do like the LG quality of this affordable Blueray player and happy with the purchase. I also took the extended Geek Squad warranty as always.

    Bought this to augment my wife's computer that did not come with an optical drive. It's nice and compact and did the job, but really loud. It also vibrates quite a bit. We wondered if it was going to explode on us! But, it loaded MS Office on the computer just fine. Haven't tried burning a DVD yet.

    So far the writer has been great for my desktop iMac and is a lot cheaper than the iMac's version. It plays cd and dvd equally well.
