    LG External DVD Drive At a Great Price

    I needed to purchase an external DVD drive since the gaming computer I bought did not have one. The salesperson at Best Buy suggested I buy the LG-8x External USB Double-Layer DVD+-Rw/CD-RW Drive. It just so happened to be the cheapest of the external drives and it has worked perfectly for my applications.

    Works well. It's difficult that laptops tend to no longer have a CD drive, but understandable why they don't. There weren't any options at BB when I bought this. Only issue I've had is that sometimes it doens't want to open after I've transferred files from a CD to the computer. Normally I've had to disconnect it from the laptop and re-connect it to remedy the problem. I'm sure there's better options out there.

    This peripheral does what it's supposed to do. It's great for installing my vintage PC games on my modern laptop, but I am not going to try watching a movie through it. It was a fair price, and I'm glad I bought it.

    My disk player was awesome. Up till this time I had no way of opening any disk I received. It is very simple to use. Plug into you laptop and place the disk in the ready. I highly recommend this to anyone.

    If your modern laptop or computer lacks a built-in disc drive, but you need one, this powerful, useful device neatly plugs into a simple USB port. When you don't need it, just unplug it and gain a free USB port!

    I purchased the USB External DVD RW/CD-RW for the sole purpose of being able to watch movies on my laptop, now that many of the new laptops aren't including DVD players, because of streaming. It works great, but you must know that DVD Player software is necessary also. It's not just plug and play. That is why I also bought PoweDVD 18 Ultra software.
