    If you needs a disc drive, this one connects easily and works great. It does help to have a backup disc drive.

    How can I review a product that comes with no directions on how to use it? I have no idea if this works well or even if it works at all! For God sake, do us the favor of including at least some rudimentary directions on how to use it.

      Posted .

      Hi, Ralph. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We understand the importance of having clear guidance when setting up a new product. To help you get started, please be aware that this drive is a "Plug and Play" device. Once connected to your computer's USB port, your operating system (Windows or macOS) should automatically recognize it as an external optical drive. If you are attempting to play a movie, ensure you have media player software installed that supports disc playback, as many modern computers do not include this by default. You can also find the full user manual and setup instructions here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-SP80NB80.AVAR10B. If you’d like us to walk you through the setup or check that everything is working as expected, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ^Juvy LG

    Bought this since companies insist on shipping equipment with disks for installation while the drives to use them are extinct in the wild. Does what it's supposed to.

    I only purchased this to rip CDs onto a Mac without a CD/DVD drive. It does what I needed it to do. No complaints. The compactness is a nice quality, easy to store away. Also very easy to use.

    This device was easy to set up and easy to use. Works fairly quickly while transferring documents from hard drive to DVD or vice versa. Would definitely recommend this if you need an external drive.

    I'm so glad that I have this. My other computer had to go to the grave. I bought a refurbished laptop and didn't realize there was no place to insert a cd. This was a very good expense and worth every penny. It's so easy to use too.
