    Seems to work fine, both reading and writing. Laptops no longer have optical disks, so I needed this device just to re-install old programs on my new machine. It was on big sale, so it was totally worth it.

    I have mixed feelings about this device. It came with no info about setting it up to use. I had to call the LG tech support section to find out how to install the software app to make it work, and have the tech walk me through burning a CD with it. There was nothing in the meager documentation that came with the device.

    I bought this. I love it! I wanted the Asus, which was $5.00 or less expensive, but it wasn't in stock. Without thinking much about it, I snagged the LG. And, yeah! I put an old MS Office disk onto a laptop that didn't have a CD drive. It saved buying a download of MS Office 365 and $100.00. The CD version works fine.
