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.

    Store and play files on disk on this portable external DVD/CD drive. You can make copies of discs efficiently and fast. You will need two USB ports in order to make it work, one for the power and one for read/write.

    I used this to rip my CD collection ITunes. I still insist on getting the actual disk for music and movies. So with this I can easily add them to my digital media. Worked great. Well worth the money.

    Great substitute to the apple drive for the MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro does not come with a DVD drive this unit was cheaper in price than the apple unit.

    My new all-in-one HP has no CD/DVD drive. This was bought upon the recommendation of the salesman. It's a basic unit but does everything it's supposed to.

    Easy to set up and use. Making CDs and DVDs costs pennies and USB drives are around $5.00 and up. If you have to provide a customer with some data or software, the CD and DVD is the most cost effective.

    I bought this when my new laptop no longer comes with a DVD player. I need to look for something that is easy to carry around. This product fits the bill with a decent pricing. No problem with the plug and play feature.

    I was very happy with this purchase. The LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD+RW/CD-RW Drive was what I needed to record my CD's to my laptop iTunes library.

    So easy to hook up and use. I typically want an internal drive but the ability to move this between machines just makes this a no brainer. Ten years ago this would cost 10x as much.

    When upgrading our laptop of 10 years we found they no longer have cd DVD drives. We purchased this because we have so many DVDs and CDs That we needed to use. It works great. Thank you Best Buy for knowledgeable sales man.

    My new 2 in 1 laptop does not have a disk drive. Blue shirt said this would work. It did. Was able to use an old unused version of Office that matches Office on the rest of my computers for the cost of a drive. Great bargain!

    I purchased this drive for a friend. He has stated he has no issues with the drive. He has not burned any disk's but the playback has been smooth and without issue. He uses it with Window 10 Home, which immediately recognized the drive.
