    I bought an all in one a while back and it didn't have a dvd drive. I needed to look at some files delivered to me on a cd. This was an ideal solution.

    This is fast plus it plugs into my Apple computer with a “C” connection. What I like best is that the drive door opens with a press of a button. I never thought this was important until I could not open the door of my previous drive and had to pay a repair tech to open it. I didn’t have a thin enough needle to stick into the tiny hole that opens the door.

    At times I would like the cord to be longer for space close to the computer is limited but the external drive is light weight and accepts and ejects the CD easily. I was told that many computers are built not to have the internal drive. That the present and future needs are a flashdrive. That CD and DVD are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

    Was putting a portfolio of my work together and came across CDs that were over 14 yrs old. I had burned some of my drawings and large artwork to these CD's. I purchased this device to see if data was still in tact. SURPRISE - it was. Reader works great, its quiet and fast. However, yes However, you will need to place it on something to raise it up. Hard to open laying it flat on table. I would buy again.

    I bought an Asus Q534UX and needed an external DVD player. After reading reviews this one seemed to be a logical choice. No extra software and only uses 1 USB port. I mainly use to convert cd's to iTunes of use to convert DVD's to MP4's with my WinX DVD ripper program and this LG is fast. No issues in nearly a month of use.
