Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. 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.

    Works great with my HP All-In-One. I still need a CD/DVD ROM/Burner once in awhile and this is a quick and easy one to use - just pop it in a USB port and you're good to go!

    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.

    Bought this drive as a companion for my Asus laptop (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-14-laptop-amd-e2-series-4gb-memory-amd-radeon-r2-64gb-emmc-flash-memory-white/6406465.p?skuId=6406465) I use the combo for ripping my DVDs & CDs back to digital format. Both work perfectly.

    LG DVD RW EXTERNAL USB Drive

    The quality of the USB drive appears to have integrity. However, the software included from Cyberlink is not as good as the current Windows Media player. It costs an additional upgrade of a $100 to get something for more extensive work.

    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.

    Mixed Feelings about this Device

    I have mixed feelings about this device. It came with no info about setting it up to use. I had to call the LG tech support section to find out how to install the software app to make it work, and have the tech walk me through burning a CD with it. There was nothing in the meager documentation that came with the device.

    I hate it that computers no longer have the ability to view movies, listen to music or burn disks, but I guess technology is moving beyond the need for them. This is a nifty device that doesn't even require a power source other than the computer itself (or a TV).

    This CD/DVD reader and burner is an excellent item for my HP computer. I used it too much 'cause I have a lot of CD 's to read them. LG products fit great for me.

    very capable disk drive, able to play the majority of DVDs and CDs i throw at it (with the exception of HDDVDs) i do suggest using VLC media player though so you're not at the mercy of ROMs or whatever program a disk wants you to use by default
