    I've always used the internal DVD/CD drive. But I like the external it seems to work better. Less noisy, and it's slim and fits under my HP all in one.

    Wanted to play DVD's on my new laptop that doesn't have a built in dvd/cd drive. This fits the bill. Small size, quiet operation. Install disc did not work with my Dell laptop, but LG customer was great and sent a download link that worked perfectly. Giving 4.5 stars because once in a great while the picture will get pixelated for just a nanosecond.

    We needed a dvd slot to transfer some cd’s to our new laptop. I can’t believe laptops don’t have them built in anymore. This solved our problem and was reasonably priced just to connect with a USB.

    This is a handy device especially for reading and writing CDs and DVDs. It is a an excellent accessory for older media and for computers that do not have optical drives that are built in.

    If you have a newer laptop with no CD/DVD drive, this is a no-brainer! It's inexpensive and works great! Just plug it into the USB port and install the included software. You're good to go for installing CD/DVD based software or burning your own.

    I bought this because the tower I bought did not have a DVD player. It works very well. I like the fact that I could buy this much cheaper than what it would have cost to upgrade to a more expensive tower.

    Did exactly what it was supposed to do and didn't break the bank. I ripped all of my CD collection into my computer. It did it fast and easy. Very slim design and light enough to put away in your Samsonite

    So glad I decided to use an external Drive when I purchased my new laptop. This is very easy to use and hook-up and I only drag it around only when I know I'll need it.

    When I was looking for a new HP laptop I was a little surprised to see that it had no DVD drive, but it was great to find out that Best Buy had a very affordable USB DVD drive option that was readily available and has turned out to be a very effective tool over the last year.
