    Very easy to hook up and use right out of the box. You just have to be very careful because the front will come off easily.

    Chose this external disc drive because I've always been very pleased with LG products and the on line reviews were solid. And the price was very competitive. When I received it, it was a breeze to install it for use with my laptop and it is fast, responsive and plays/stores as if it were built in.

    It still BAFFLES me that almost ALL new Laptops DON'T come with CD/DVD ROM Drives!! :X However, this was easily and cheaply cured with THIS. Works great, sets up easily (and I'm an old fogey!!). And just does what it's supposed to do, without fuss. I absolutely recommend it!

    This cd burner was really easy to plug and play. It works great for burning a music cd for my vehicle as the cd burner on my laptop does not do a very good job. The price was excellent and the shipping was fast. I love the quality and ease of use.

    Most computer manufacturers have phased out built in storage/ readers and want you to use their download services or cloud services, but somethings I have I would like to have available on my system and not out in never never land.
