    Had no issues to install and us this CD player. The read is fast. The device is light weight so easy to be portable as I travel a lot for work. If you are like me that the Laptop the company gives you has not CD reader, and you need to read a CD, this DVD/CD reader does the job.

    This Drive was simply plug and play, very easy to use and seems to be plenty fast enough. I have a few applications that require a disk in the drive for security and this drive has been performing fine.

    I needed this to replace an older drive and use with a new computer. It is quicker than the old drive I had, It is seeing a lot of use as I have a backlog of CDs to add to my library since the old computer had issues and seems to have no issues. It also doesn't take much space

    You can't beat the price. Easy to set up and start using immediately. Great for that computer that no longer comes with built-in DVD/CD drives. Small in size and doesn't take up much desk space.

    This drive is really good. Burns music cd fast. Burned over 40 cd's and it's still working great. The best thing, Best Buy had it on sale. So got a good deal on it.

    I constantly believe in the value and importance of physical media, so imagine my delight in finding a dvd/cd burner that can run on modern hardware! It's incredibly fast, and the quality does not diminish at all, it's tested out 10 movies and over 50 music CD's, no issues at all. I would buy 5 more if I needed them, but unfortunately (and fortunately) I don't, haha!

    This is a superb value! Even at its list price of $39.99 it does it all (not BluRays). Will read, burn any format CD or DVD including 8.5GB double layer disks easily. I am using it with a Microsoft Surface Go TABLET and it is perfect. You do need an unpowered OTG Type C adapter for use in my tablet, but no external power supply.

    I needed a budget external DVD/CD drive for my newest Windows 10 laptop that didn't come with one, and to use with my older Windows 8 laptop with a built in DVD/CD drive that was showing sign of failing. This LG USB drive works perfectly on both computers, and was truly a plug-and-play installation. The icing on the cake is that I got it on sale from Best Buy for the fantastic price of $15.99. What's not to love about any of this???

    I needed a way to import hundreds of CDs into my computer so that my wife would stop complaining about how much room they were taking up in the garage. I don't really listen to them much anymore, but what if someday I really wanted to listen to "12 Inches of Snow" without having to rely on youtube having the exact track I was looking for? I couldn't just throw them out or give them to goodwill or even sell them. And putting them into the attic where they'd be just as inaccessible wasn't a viable option either. This drive was the perfect solution. It's relatively quiet and decently quick. It plugs into a USB port making it a snap to use. The drawer feels a little flimsy when I'm trying to drunkenly swap from one CD to the next, but that might just be me being a bit nit picky. It's a good product that solved my problem at a good price.
