They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    Needed a DVD Burner

    I have a Lenovo Laptop for work and it does not have a CD/DVD Burner and I was required to submit as-built drawings on a disk, I bought the LG 8x External as a complement to my laptop and now I utilize it almost daily for record document submissions. Extremely fast and I have had zero errors on all platforms.

    It's crazy that most modern computers no longer have optical disc drives. Fortunately this external drive helps address that. Didn't realize how much we would miss having an optical drive until we couldn't rip the first CD we'd bought in years. Works like a charm, and it's plug and play!

    Great purchase! Easy to use! A must-have due to most laptops not having a CD drive these days. Excellent customer service. Ordered online and picked it up an hour later.

    At first when I started working with this drive I really thought that I wouldn't like it because I couldn't figure out how to use. After a couple of hours of working with it I figured it out & now I love it & I don't know how I ever lived without it. I recommend this drive for people who need to store any type of files.

    Works great. just what I needed for my home videos that were moved to DVD's. Now that most pc's don't have internal drives anymore, this did the trick and I was able to watch the videos.

    Bought a pc with no disk drive and this for the price worked perfect. Everyone says just download the file from the web page. But they never say that those files could be corrupt with viruses I learned the hard way so sticking the cd disks for installation from now on.
