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.

    The cd/dvd player in my iMac no longer played cd’s. DVD’s play fine. This external CD player fit my needs to play cd’s and download to my iMac. Great little player at a great price.

    Amazing where we are now with computers...I build my own, and my most recent build/case has zero slots for 3.5" drives. I guess that isn't really a thing anymore, and CDs/DVDs are today's VHS tapes. I do, however, have a Plex media library that I still build content into by buying DVDs at relatively low costs, and burn them into a format I can then add to Plex. This drive is a great sturdy USB unit that solves the current design problem, and I got it for about $15 on sale. Have had it for a year with no issues, and still am getting a DVD every other week or so to add something new to my media library.

    I purchased this external DVD drive because the new HP laptop I bought didn't have an internal one. I would have preferred an internal drive, but this one is easy to use and works well.

    Works great with my HP laptop, provided I'm not trying to literally use it on my lap! I wish computers would still come with built-in DVD drives, but that's "progress" for you.

    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.

    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.

    Had a couple of things that I needed to install to my laptop from CD/DVD and since it doesn't have a drive I picked this up. It worked great for getting the things I needed installed and I keep it around just in case I need it again later on.
