    LG-8X DVD/CD Drive performed as advertised. Easy set-up while performing flawlessly right out of the box. Pricing was very reasonable. The unit was recommended by one of the Best buy customer reps as being very good deal for the price. He was right.

    Comes in handy as most desktops and thin laptops do not include drives anymore. Good price and easy set-up. Good to have on hand for those times you need a dvd drive.

    I didn't think I'd ever have a need for a cd drive until recently and this one definitely came to the rescue! It was easy to install and use and works well!

    I only bought this so I could use the USB port. I can put my USB Flash drive, loaded with MP3s into the port, and plug the outputs into my stereo. An MP3 stereo receiver costs hundreds of bucks. This only cost me $25 to provide a USB input to my existing stereo system. Works like a charm.

    I have a very small Dell laptop with no disc drive. This drive gives me the ability to read discs. It is very compact and light and is a valuable addition to my traveling kit. I recently used it to load a program onto my computer. I would recommend it to anyone as an addition to their traveling kit.

    The LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive is an excellent choice for users of slim line laptops or minilap PC's. Purchased the drive for a client with a slim line laptop that required the installation of a new software program suite as part of their business.

    It's a nice edition for a laptop if you don't need a SD card slot. But I needed both so I returned it because my laptop doesn't have a SD card slot.
