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 bought this because I needed a CD/DVD drive. Usually my Apple Super drive works every time I need it to. In this one instance, I needed a DVD drive for a PC in a Graphics production area and it would not. On a hunch, I picked this LG drive up and it worked from the start. It even comes with software for backup and disc burning so it more than did the job for me! The price was reasonable too.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This drive operates as expected. It connected just fine to my computer and played and ripped the cd to my desktop with no issues. I did not care for the included software, so I used a free app from the Microsoft store to use it as a DVD player. It played the movie just fine as well.

    When my company replaced my laptop, it did not come with an internal drive and I purchased this unit to be able to upload files and make disks (CDs and DVDs). It has excelled in all functions and faster than the previous internal units in previous laptops. Very good value for the money.

    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.

    Easy to plug in and use and over time has not seemed to be easy to damage like some external CD drives. Would recommend to anyone looking!

    I bought a new iMac in August, 2020. At the same time, I bought an Apple CD player and an adapter. Turns out the Apple CD player was not compatible with my new iMac, and Apple had no plans to make one any time soon. Bought this CD player from Best Buy, and along with the USB adapter, works perfectly with my iMac.

    A little over a year ago I purchased a new MacBook Pro, which unfortunately does not come with a built-in drive. As a music teacher, I still use CDs quite a bit and also need the ability to play DVDs on my computer from time to time. I have, so far, been very satisfied with this product. I was able to plug it into the computer and it worked immediately without any sort of set up.
