    This is a very thin and compact DVD drive. I like that it has a microUSB connector rather than the miniUSB my older portable drives have, making it more compatible with the cables I typically carry in my bag. Performance is OK, but a few of my other drives are noticeably faster (even though they are older). Not a big deal for me because the price of this drive was quite reasonable when I bought it on sale.

    It plays/rips DVD's & CD's. Since most, if not all of the better SSD laptops no longer include a disk drive - it's necessary if you still have physical media you would like to access. Build quality seems average not stellar but not extremely cheap either. It works, if you do not need blu-ray for your tablet/laptop buy this. I believe it also writes CD's & DVD's.

    Nice to easily watch some of your favorite videos on a new laptop that doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. So worth the money.

    No bells and whistles. Just a real functional LG external USB DVD/RW/CD-RW Drive. Plays movies. Plays CDs. and DVDs. It copies/burns software or whatever you wish to burn. Can't speak on it's durability since it's just been a few weeks of use. Will update on that in about 12 to 18 months later. But for now, a definite recommend.

    Excellent drive. Definitely need this since laptops no longer come with one, and I might have something on CD I need to get in the future (or to rip a CD-only track from Taylor Swift).
