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 blew it and ordered a laptop without DVD-RW drive. This LG USB drive is thin and fits in laptop bag very nicely. Drive itself works mighty well.

    DVD drives are still useful from time to time. This drive does the job without having to purchase and mount an internal drive. Very portable too.

    It seems that not many laptops are coming with CD/DVD readers built in anymore. This was a good deal when it went on sale for $20.
