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.

    My Dell External Ultra Slim USB DVD Drive (bought 2014) did not work when I upgraded my Dell Desktop and Dell Laptop to Windows 10. The Dell Drive was only compatible with Windows 7 and 8. The LG External USB DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive resolved the issue immediately. Thank you.

    This external dvd writer was such a good deal and does the job for my laptop. Just remember it’s not a Blu-ray or 4K player so not for current entertainment formats but for business applications, it does the job. Can’t beat the value for this item.

    I was in the market for a new laptop nowadays they do not give you a way to install your programs, that you have this was a bargain at the time and I jumped on it. So far so good.

    This CD/DVD reader/writer is excellent. You just take it out of the box, hook it up to your computer and, presto, you are ready to work. I’d didn’t require lengthy and complicated instructions. The price was excellent since I got it on sale. It would be worth it at the regular price.

    This works great if you are looking for a CD drive to rip ISO files from your old game disks for emulation. Works well with ImgBurn.

    I'm old school and like my disks. So when I purchased a new computer and discovered that most did not have a disk drive I purchased this one. It does everything i need it to and more. I can disconnect and with out the added weight the new computers are lighter.

    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.
