Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does the job and easily connects to pc or Mac. Very fast in comparison to other brands and if you have music cds it makes it easy to copy and covert music files. Over all happy with this product and it wasn’t a bad price either. I would recommend this device as a must have if you have older cds that you want to listen to on your other devices

Very easy to set up and use with my 2019 MacBook Pro. Using it to import CD's into my ITunes library. Came with all the necessary cables (although the MacBook Pro uses only USB-C ports, I needed an adaptor to connect the supplied USB cable to the computer). So far, the unit has performed well. Not too loud, very light weight, reads discs quickly. I would recommend this unit.

I like that it works on my home and school systems without fail. It reads and records as needed and takes up very little space. Less than $20.00 us on sale? Insane value!i

Connects automatically. works great. fast and easy to use

This DVD/CD player runs smooth and handles all CD's and DVD's so far.

Easy to install. Good value for the money. Provides ability to read and write DVDs and CDs. Easily connected to my laptop.

Simple plug and play operation, recognized by Windows 10 immediately. I have only used it for reading data discs and playing movies on two machines (an HP laptop and a gaming PC), which was my main reason for the purchase. For the price paid (a couple of dollars more than the no name ones on Amazon and Ebay), it was well worth it. I would buy again.

I recently found out that Apple doesn't offer an extended care warranty on their Superdrive. My friend's Apple drive died just after the 1 year mark and was out of luck - You're just expected to keep buying $100 peripherals every year or so... Having just gotten a good deal on an iMac, I was considering how best to continue optical drive support. The LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive is perfect! Right out of the box, no driver installation is needed. iDVD and iTunes recognized it immediately. I played DVD movies and burned some playlists to audio CDs. It does what it's supposed to, and even with an additional 2-year Geek Squad coverage, I came out paying less than half of what the Apple Superdrive costs... I definitely made the right choice!

Light weight USB 2.0 DVD. Easily recognized by Windows 10. Seems ultralight. Writes and reads many formats and disc sizes including DVD-DL. Low cost and I bought it on sale..hooks up instantly with my Insignia tablets. Also my HP Ryzen 7 laptop. Tray loading. Two modes. One for TV. One for PC/Mac LG products are generally well respected. I especially like their HDR 8k Videos.

It is very compact and portable. It runs very well and can be brought wherever you go.

The LG 8x external DVD drive is inexpensive, very simple to hook up, and simply plug and play. I hooked it up in a couple of minutes, put in a DVD containing pictures, and it works perfectly. Have also used it for DVD instructions for a TV and a camera. Great product!

This plug & play DVD/CD burning drive is perfect for my needs, especially at the Black Friday price of 20 bucks. I transfer my older metal bands' 80's & 90's concerts from VHS tapes to DVD, and then burn them, & this works perfectly (so far). I already did about 9 DVDs. My only word of advice is to be gentle with this when putting a DVD in the tray (or handling it in general). It feels like the disc tray could break easily if one is not careful. But when one takes care of his/her things it should last till the laser burns out. I might get me another (too bad the Black Friday sale is gone). Still a good price even at regular cost. I recommend. Works good. Easy to use.

Although I was disappointed that my new computer didn't include a built-in cd-dvd player, this external drive is perfect! It couldn't be easier to use and the price was just right. Would recommend to anyone over a certain age with a huge CD/DVD collection that's old-fashioned like me!

I purchased this drive since my newer laptop did not include one. I have mainly been using this drive to import music from my CD collection. This drive is very simple to use -- straight plug and play with no drivers/software to install. It is very quiet and works fast. I highly recommend this external drive.

Works precisely how I needed it to. The only struggle I had with it, was to get my desktop to recognize the disc in the player. Worked great with my laptop and allows me to get the work done with some dated resources!

I have been converting all of my DVD's to digital format - and since newer computers don't ship with a DVD+R - I decided on this. It's thin, lightweight, quiet, and works like a charm. It was plug-n-play on both my Mac and PC. Great drive.

Works, lightweight, not too noisy, not too slow, don't need it very often, but when I do, it does the job

Since new computers no longer seem to have a built-in DVD+RW/CD-RW drive, I needed this in order to load old programs I own on CD to my new PC. Easy to use -- just plug it into a USB port. Works as intended!

My son was building a computer and we inadvertently ordered our version of Windows on CD. Once I realized this, I ran to Best Buy to grab this CD/DVD player. It worked great. I didn’t have to do anything to set it up, just plug and go. Small. Lightweight. Easy to use. My kind of a product.

Got this to rip my unnecessarily huge library of cd's, worked great, just wish I didnt have to buy something like this when laptops should still have this option. Glad this product exists.
