Customer Ratings & Reviews

I BOUGHT THIS EXTERNAL DRIVE BECAUSE COMPUTERS TODAY DON'T COME WITH IT STANDARD. it hooks up very easily and works excellently. it is a good buy for those of you who kept their old programs and/or games and want to install them on their new computers.

Since most laptops don't have a built in DVD drive, you need an external drive for the times when you have a DVD or CD to read. Not everything is downloadable from the internet. I still have software that needs to be loaded from a CD. And, I have embroidery designs from machine embroidery that are on still sold on CD's. This DVD player meets my needs and the best part is the price was right.

Purchased to use in my classroom, as our new computers don’t have the capability to play DVDs, and it worked perfectly for our movie day.

compact, lightweight, and $20 hoped it could resurrect one of my lightly pitted memorex cds :/

I am so glad the consultant showed me this device, and showed me how helpful it will be in hooking up the connections for my other devices to work with my new .Laptop

Smooth performance, fast and quiet. Fills in nicely as the newer computers are coming without disk drives

The LG Portable DVD Writer was easy to set up as an auxiliary drive for my laptop computer. The accompanying LG Media Suite software disc for the drivers required a couple of attempts install the drivers. Once the drivers were loaded the product functioned well. The drive came in well designed sturdy well cushioned packaging. The drive is low priced and a good buy for my needs to upload files on disc or store files. I own other products made by LG which have given years of good service.

It is plug-n-play and worked perfectly. I use it mainly for embroidery patterns and it is fast and works with all the discs I have

LG external USB drive are a necessity and this fits the bill. Price is reasonable and functionality and speed are excellent.

Quiet, capable and fast. Can be used to play CDs and also rip them.

Good value. However, I received a gift of a similar item so I never used it and returned it.

It's compact form, light weight, and various supported media types make if a great help for those with a sizable libary of disks yet to be converted into digital storage.

I love this thing! Perfect for playing old CDs since I no longer own a CD player! Works great!

I had a (far) more expensive drive fail at a critical time and ended up grabbing this one. It has worked perfectly from the moment I plugged it into the USB port on my laptop. I was able to watch and transcribe video without needing to copy the video file to my hard drive, which is more than I could say for its predecessor.

very good works very well would recommend it to anyone,

product as described. function well. light weight.

Good value, small size ,easy to set up, works well.

My HP OMEN does not have a DVD/CD drive, so I picked up this LG at a very reasonable price. Would have preferred to have one built into my desktop, but since it wasn't an option, this will work. it is very lightweight and thin, and I just mounted it under a shelf right above my tower with double-sided foam tape....worked like a charm, and keeps it stable in one place so I can easily load a CD/DVD with one hand just like one built in. Works great and can't beat the price.

I have some files that I receive on CD/DVD and I needed to transfer them to a flash drive to use them. I bought this, along with a 4 port USB hub, so I could read the CD/DVDs on my Surface Pro. It does require external power. (Surface Pro can't run it from the USB port.) But, it was reasonably priced and met my needs.

Bought this for my laptop because it is small, on sale, & does what I need it for.
