    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.

    The external drive is working great especially for newer computers that don’t have them. My wife is very happy with it.

    Looking at other options I decided to pick this one. It works with my Macbook pro and mini as well as Windows computers. It connected without a hitch and no external installations/programs needed.

    This works so well. (I'm actually using it to rip a CD as I type this) The sound isn't too much for me, but I also like the whir of drives. It never gets overheated or has problems with power. It's a little hard to get CD/DVD's out sometimes, but it's never much of an inconvenience. Super easy to set up and crazy user-friendly.

    Nice inexpensive unit. No software to intall, plug and play. Only downside, I personally wish it came with a usbc to usbc cable.

    Easy setup & works great! I bought this for my work computer . I have educational dvds that I could not utilize with my current system. I read reviews that I may need to download software, but I just plugged it into the drive and it worked! So happy with my inexpensive purchase!

    My family bought me a laptop for Christmas, that didn't have a disc drive. This was a perfect addition to it. It runs quiet and loads fast. I not used it to burn anything yet, but I have a good feeling about it considering how well it has done with everything else.

    I bought this USB external cd/dvd player/recorder to install some programs on a new laptop that doesn't have an internal one. Installation was plug and play. Installations went without a hitch. Have not recorded anything, but very happy with what I have used it for. And the price and delivery were great.

    This "extra" on our original purchase was supposed to be for use when a DVD was to be viewed on the computer - that is not often. I have used this in multiple ways since hooking it up - from watching Christmas DVD's to burning personalized music CD's as Christmas presents for family and friends. It was easy to set up and I am not finding things that it cannot handle

    Bought a computer without a DVD player...which seems to be the norm. I like to play DVD's and have a large archive on DVD's that I am transferring to an external drive. So far this LG is doing a great job in keeping up with all the open and close I put it through.
