    I bought two of these when they were the deal of the day. I've been ripping CDs pretty quickly with these. Plug them in and you're good to go.

    DVR/CD Drive for use. This LG external drive was suggested by the Best Buy staff. When plugged in to my computer, it worked right away with no issues. Replacing my broken computer DVR/CD drive in an economical manner. Good product, helpful staff, the right deal.

    It's a good find if your cd/dvd player is acting up all you have to do is plug in the USB to your PC and you can play or record what you need to in a pinch.

    I bought some language learning books online and was horrified to see they came with CDROMS (what the heck?!). So I dropped in to Best Buy and got this bad boy. Works super easy, just plugged it into my MacBook and downloaded all tracks into iTunes.

    Something I needed

    I needed this because the laptop I was purchasing had the features I required but didn't come with a DVD drive. Fortunately it was something I could add. I have only used it once, but it wasn't complicated and It worked. Best Buy had it on special "half off" which made it a great deal for something I won't use a lot.

    It's a plug and play DVD reader/writer. It does what it should and is easy to use. The included software package makes it that much better.
