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.

    Now that Optical Drives are omitted from standard laptops, a external Optical drive is a necessity (until we fully embrace the cloud and drop boxes). Good price.

    Didn't work plugged directly into my MacBook Pro 16". Did work when using powered hub. I don't know who to blame here. But as I'm mostly using a powered hub it's fine.

    This is my second purchase of this product. I now have one for each of my computers. One is located upstairs and the other is in the basement. Very reliable--I have not had any issues with either one. Would definitely recommend a purchase.

    I knew this drive wasn't rated as fast as another, even though it's the same LG brand, I decided on this one, and I'm very pleased that it's faster access than my internal drive. Bottom line, a top name brand, for cheaper than most of the alternatives. Of course, they've got to get rid of existing ODD's, with USB drives faster, cheaper, and with more storage, but some folks need to have a drive to read some of the older programs still on Cd's.

    Bought a few to have around at school and in one month had 3 employees whose laptops were having problems playing a DVD. Got this connected and working with no more effort than just plugging into the USB port.
