    Since my laptop did not include a built-in dvd drive, I wanted something that allowed me to save files permanently. This device is lightweight and portable making it convenient and easy to use at home or during trips.

    My new laptop came without a DVD drive and, since I have several programs in that format, I decided to get one that wasn't too expensive since I wouldn't use it that much. It did what I needed it to do and I might use it to burn a video or two in the future.

    This external drive is for an Air Mac...it performs great...you will need to purchase an Apple cord for about $10 to connect with the computer.

    We bought LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black last month and my husband finds it's been very useful for his work. He has some old CD's but we recently bought a new laptop that does not come with a CR Rom. So this helps a lot

    This is a nice player. I had no problems with it or the use of it. It works off USB power without a hitch. I have burned disk with it and it did so flawlessly. It is a great little product.

    New omen doesn't have a DVD player, but with this doodad, you're as good as gold. No problems with a variety of media, from nasty old CDs to dvds to burning data. Quick and easy to setup, a bargain price for a great product.

    Since Laptops, etc are not being shipped with CD-RW drives anymore, this is the perfect choice for a number of reasons. I have mine on an external USB 4-port and it works great.

    The only thing about this is the included software crashed my system. Blue screen of death, couldn't boot to OS any longer had to reinstall with clean version of OS and reinstall everything from scratch. Used windows software and have no problems now.

    I needed a USB Drive in order to use CD's for filing taxes on new PC. Set-up was easy and the LG drive was able to read the CD without and download the tax data without any problems. I have not tried to view a movie yet, but I'll be doing that next.
