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.

    I use this with my Lenovo Yoga 730 and it works flawlessly. REads fast, no drivers needed. Well made, not flimsy like a few others I have owned. Not a single complaint here.

    Simple to use plug and play. Debated getting a laptop with or without a disk drive and this sealed the deal. Saved me money and serves my needs.

    It may not be the slickest design but it functions well and does what it needs to do for $20. If it's as reliable as most LG products I'll be very happy with it.

    I use this with a MacBook Pro. It doesn't weigh too much to carry it around in a backpack. It allowed my daughter to be able to watch DVDs in the dorm without having a TV.
