    Perfect Addition to a Laptop without a DVD Player

    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 is very nice to have when you’re on the go, especially because it’s hard to find cd/dvd drives in the newer computers

    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

    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!

    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 bought it as a cheap affordable way to play movies on my computer. Works great for the last six months and haven't had a problem with it. Does make some sound as it reads the DVD but nothing you will notice while watching a movie. Very minimal noise indeed.

    For an external DVD drive, since my all-in-one didn't come with, works great even through a USB hub. No issues at all in installing, playing, reading/writing discs. A no-worry pull out the drawer and fire up when needed!

    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.
