    Amazing external drive for a computer that does not have one. I know they a phasing out, however I can use it to view old data, music and movies. And it helps with making data backups to secure files

    Got it today. Plug and play and off and running using Windows 10. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Time will tell how well it stands up to use, but I don't think I'll have any issues with it. Fits easily in the laptop bag for when needed.

    This device works quite nicely. Due to my new desktop computer not having a disk drive that I could use to burn old DVDs and CDs, I had to make this purchase. It's very light weight, yet effective.

    I bought this but ended up returning because the upgraded model happened to be on sale for 5 dollars more. Either way worked perfect for my gaming tower that has no optical drive and also my laptop that doesnt have one either. very lightweight and portable to bring on the go in my backpack.

    This external drive works with SurfacePro requiring 2.0 USB-A. The included USB cable has a micro USB end for the drive. I have a 3.0 USB external drive that does not work with my SurfacePro 3.

    Purchased product for a gift, so I don't have a review yet. Giving it a 5 star until I have the opportunity to ask the receiver how they like it. Will give updated review after gift is given. From the information listed, it looks like it will work well.

    Our school installed new computers in our classrooms but they lacked CD-Roms. I use a lot of music in my classroom so I bought this to be able to play the music for the kids. It was inexpensive but it gets the job done. It’s plug and play so that helps as well.

    I found this LG brand DVD/CD Writer to be very easy to use. I just attached the USB into my computer and it was pretty much "Plug and Play". Now I am able to listen to all my CGs that I have had around for awhile and have not been able to listen to.

    I'm finding music CDs for a dollar now, and I needed a drive to copy over to my hard drive. It's totally plug and play using USB with the cord supplied, and is ready to go as is. It does all I need and much more.
