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.

    My Mac Mini doesn't come with a optical drive. Tried networking to my old Mac Mini, but it didn't recognize the TurboTax disk (?). I saw Best Buy had several drives in stock, so I went to the store. This was what was available. I've never had any problems with LG so I thought, "why not?" Long story short, I got my taxes done, so I guess it worked. My only issue is it's so small and light it tends to creep around while in operation. Other than that, I've had no problems with it.

    Worked perfect with my Dell. I have only used it to download software. I haven’t tried using it to watch anything or burn anything. Will be back if I have issues.

    Since laptops no longer have DVD drive its nice to have one in the event you need one. This has come in handy for work and home on several occasions.
