    I told Bret from Best Buy Geek Squad, what I wanted. He showed this unit to me. I used it and it is so much easier to use than I thought! Now I can copy video and pictures to the discs at my leisure instead of relying on someone else. It's GREAT!! Thanks Bret!

    Plugged it into my new MacBook Air and it was instantly recognized and ready to go to work! Using it to download my favorite music CDs so that I can have the music of my choice out in my workshop.

    I’m new to these, cause I’m old. Very easy to use, easy set up. Basically, plug and play. I use it for all my disc’s from the VA that I need information from. It’s proven invaluable. Great product, great price.

    Since my new computer has no cd drive I bought this to put dvd pictures on a usb stick and it worked just fine. Plug and play makes it simple.

    Got this for a gift based on sales person's recommendation. Have not yet received info from the recipient. It does provide a way to extend your computer especially with older Disc games and music since newer laptops don't have a direct CD port.

    The LG 8x external CD/DVD drive is a very useful device to have for those of us who still have files stored on CD/DVD's from years ago. The ability to move the files onto the laptop is critical in backing up old files.
