    purchased this as a back up. I bought a new Dell all in one computer, what I didn't realize there was no DVD player like my old HP all in one computer. Happy with this, simple hook up.

    My DVD drive on my old laptop is kaput so this new external drive affords me the joys of watching DVDs and also listening to my audio book CDs to keep me company as I work.

    I have used this to rip a CD, install software, and burn photos to a DVD. It performed well for these tasks. It is plug-and-play so there are no issues installing it. It is inexpensive and about as small as it can be.

    Easy to use, PnP drive. Install windows and drivers on pc. Then set aside for the next time you need to use a drive. LG products are great with a great customer service. Easy buying decision.

    Great external DVD drive. My new all-in-one PC did not come with a DVD drive and this was a great solution so that I could load some of my older programs that were still on a disc.

    Normally, this item sells for $40, but I got it on sale for $20. It is very functional for everyday use as an external optical drive; it may not be the fastest one on the market, but its speed is quite decent.

    It’s basic, and does the job. Consider this if you need to play or use CD’s or DVD’s on your computer. Catch it on sale if you can.
