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.

    Cheap, in stock and worked just great. It took a while to locate a sales assistant to direct me, but no big deal.

    Bought this to copy music CD's that I am unable to find on the streaming apps . It works great for what I needed. It is very light and can be carried anywhere. Had to install the software on computer and update it which was pretty easy.

    The LG-8X external DVD RW CD drive works great. I am able to view my DVDs and burn my photos onto a CD to save offline. The price was very affordable. I would buy it again. In fact, I might get one for my mom.

    I have multiple things still on DVD or as CD's since I teach. I needed to be able to move them onto my computer and most do not come with them anymore. This one works great and is a big help.
