Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. 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.

    It connected to my new computer easily as well as my older computer. I’m very pleased with it. The external drive was easy to operate. I’m not very computer savvy.

    Chances are you're like and need something like this once in a very blue moon. It's nothing special, works great for the rare times you need to pull data off a disc. if you're getting this to watch DVDs on you computer...give it up already and go digital.

    Glad to find this item. I still have a lot of older technology and it’s nice to have a spare plug and play dvd player.

    We just got a Dell micro desktop that does not have a CD/DVD drive. Bought this external drive for loading disk software, and so far it works perfectly. Also very thin and compact. Very satisfied!

    I needed an external drive to use some old PC games. I was glad this was in stock at my local Best Buy store. It was on sale and seems to be a decent external drive that can read CD and DVD discs.

    Since laptops are thinner & lightweight they no longer have DVD/Blu Ray drives. This LG drive is perfect for software that has to be loaded, viewing movies, doing homework, etc.

    So far it's working very good. The only issue I have with this item is that didn't come with anti-slip pads. Other than that it's a good value and performance is above expectations.

    I purchased this to use with my desktop and laptops that don't have an external drive attached. Thus far, its performance has been great. I highly recommend this product because of its performance as well as efficient cost.
