    LG external USB is very convenient whether it’s a hub or storage. External power is always good to have a free up space so your computer is not congested and some even have a cloud source installed where the data is salvage even if the product is damaged you can always upload the data from CLOUD to continue where you left off. Great product

    I really like the flexibility of using this with an older MacBook. I was able to rip some old home movies and upload them to ICloud. I was also able to burn some discs with no issues. It handled about 25 discs without issue

    I originally purchased the standard CD/DVD player but swapped it out for this player. The players are similar, pretty straight forward set up. Easy to use for data purposes but I did have some issues playing DVDs. Had to download some software and even then went into the store to get some technical support.

    I bought this only because my new all-in-one computer did not have a cd/dvd drive. Will I need it a lot; probably not. But I still like a cd/dvd drive available to me. it works fine; not really much else I can say about it; it does what it is supposed to do.

    I purchased a new HP laptop but it did not have a DVD / CD player with it. This LG external one was the perfect solution. A quick connect and it's ready to go. I use it to install all those old software discs that I don't have a download version of … works great.

    This DVD player is the size of a CD case. It plays well and is exactly what I needed for DVD watching on the computer. I am very happy with the purchase. It has also made it possible for me to input all those old CDs I had sitting around. So happy now!

    The CD-RW drive costed me about $30 when I bought it in the store. In order to get it to work properly, I had to download software online at a cost of about $60.

    I had many CD and DVDs that I was not able to use when I purchased a laptop as a replacement computer. I needed something to read these discs and back them up on either external hard drives or flash drives. I am glad I did since I had many photos stored on the discs.

    My internal CD/DVD player quit working and I bought an external player that didn't work either due to my current drives. The Best Buy Geek squad recommended this LG drive which works fine and is easy to use.
