    Needed to install drivers for my motherboard and didn't want to risk missing one though manual install, so I wanted to use the included drivers disc. No DVD drive on my case, so this did the job. Still use it from time to time, plug n play, price isn't too bad either.

    I still have a lot of files on CD ROM that make this external drive excellent for new computer without a CD ROM drive. It is convenient for carrying with my computer without being overloaded with technology. It is plug and play.

    Recently bought a laptop that does not have an optical drive, so I decided to buy this item. It is a portable so you can use it only when you need it..

    It works great! I bought this to replace another one that I lost the software to when I changed computers. Works great to download CDs to my iTunes account and then to my iPhone to listen to in my truck or boat via Bluetooth.

    None of our computers have CD/DVD drives anymore and I found myself in need of one. This LG drive was reasonably priced and easy to use. I just plugged it into my Mac and it was good to go. It came with a software disc, but I didn’t end up needing it.

    Since my Lenovo laptop did NOT come with a DVD drive and I needed one, the employee recommended the LG USB DVD Drive. It was easy to hook up and worked perfectly. Great price too.

    Most Lap Tops Don't Come With a Optical Drive Anymore. This Is A Must Have. It Gives you The Option To Watch DVDs Movies But Also Be Able To Download Other Files Using CD's . Great Quality.

    It is amazing how much better equipment is available today for a much lower price. I have not actually used it yet because I'm trying to pair it up with my pixelbook. I have seen reviews by folks who have done this, so it is on my too long bucket list.

    Good !!! The drive itself performs to my expectations. I took away 1 star because of the usb cord. It's permanent and only about 8" long so if you want it longer you will have to buy a usb extension cord. Other than that everything is on par with a good solid internal drive.
