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.

    The LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive is another "must-have" accessory for those purchasing a new laptop, very few of which have a built-in optical drive. This external drive provides the ability to read and write to CDs as well as single and double-layer DVDs. If you have software or media on these older media, you don't want to be without this product.

    I use this quite a bit. Since my new computer does not have a cd/dvd drive slot like my old one, it gives me the opportunity to watch and use dvd/cds that I still have around the use. I also have several teaching dvds that I can use with my students to show animations of various difficult concepts.

    My use was limited to installing disk-based software into newly purchased laptops. It did the job at a modest price. Not used for viewing recorded material or writing DVDs.

    I had to buy this because I like to keep all of my cds on my pc. I bought a new pc that doesn’t have the burner and iTunes screwed up my library so I had to buy something to rip my 400 plus collection. The speed hasn’t changed much since my 2011 burner but it did the job and at a nice price. I haven’t tried to rip a dvd yet so I can’t comment on that.

    I'm behind the times, all of the new computers want to "Be in the cloud", but I want my data kept locally. My many DVDs and audio CDs are still great and I want to keep it close. The LG DVD is easy to store and trivial to install and use.
