Customers are saying

Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    I have a PC that does not have a DVD drive installed. I had to load some old software from a CD. I took a chance and visited Best Buy in hopes of snagging an external DVD drive with USB connection. WaLa! I was shown the LG 8x External USB Double-layered DVD +- RW/CD-RW Drive - Black, and feel in love. A purchase from heaven.

    Computer I bought was an all-in-one, so it didn't have a CD/DVD drive. I guess I'm old school, still using CDs & DVDs, but this added item took care of that issue.

    great drive if you rarely need a dvd drive for your laptop, and you don't want to spend much money. the drive can also be connected directly to your tv without a computer to play dvd movies. it's all plastic, so you'll need to be careful when you throw it in your bag, but a plus is that it adds very little weight. it meets my needs as a backup drive and since it's powered by your USB port, I keep it in my travel bag with a few blank dvd discs.
