    Works just as you would expect, glad I bought it. Works with Apple or non-Apple products if you have the right connections.

    Sleek and quiet, easy install but it needs to be on a flat surface not a shelf/ledge because it will tip when loading a CD or DVD. It's lightweight and compact. My husband has one on his desk but I had to return this unit because of my computer desk setup it would've had to sit on a ledge.

    Nice External DVD/CD Drive at a Great Price

    As computers improve, the result is losing the built-in DVD/CD drives which old media is kept. I wanted something that worked with my Apple iMac but was inexpensive due to not using it so often. And, I was not disappointed. Easy to use and set up.

    Serviceable as a portable DVD/CD Drive

    Good back-up as a portable DVD/CD Drive after we accidentally stepped on (and broke) the DVD drive on our desktop. It was cheaper than getting a replacement for the actual internal drive, and serves the same purpose. It's also portable so you can use it on different computers, if needed, since CD drives may not be as common.

    Most Laptop's no longer come with the CD/DVD player. So I bought this so that I could transfer CD's to my laptop. It is easy to use and works great. I like that it is really slim so that it does not take up a lot of space in my laptop bag.

    So far I have used it to listen to music, play a DVD, and use a CD to pull up programs for my American Legion Post. I have been able to use it flawlessly on 3 different devices. The price was great and I'm considering purchasing another just for my wife.

    No complaints about this product so far. We needed it because our PC the kids do math on, which requires a DVD, died, the unit is lightweight, compact, plug-and-play, and easy to use. For the price, not sure how it would be a bad choice.

    I reviewed many products before I settled on the LG 8x External drive. It was affordable and gives me exactly what I need. It is very easy to use. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    My most recent laptop did not include a CD Rom, and I wanted one. I found one in stock at Best Buy for $14.99. My selection was based on price. This doesn't usually work out for me, but this was the exception. It works flawlessly and easily. No quirks; no issues. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    Great basic DVD player and burner

    This is a very nice DVD player and burner. It also uses CDs. I bought it mainly because my new all-in-one computer does not have an optical reader. I have some program discs that needed to be installed, and the only way was to run the disc in an optical reader. I probably won't be using the DVD player very often, but it meets my needs when I do. The nice thing about being integrated into my Windows 11 computer is that the computer has an eject button on the screen, so I don't have to use the button on the optical reader. It comes with a media program disc, but I didn't have to use it as I could run the DVD player without installing it. I noticed that it has a shiny film protector on top, but it peels off, and the unit is not shiny underneath.

    I needed an external CD drive to read and copy music onto my laptop. This CD drive was very easy to set up and use. The file copy and transfer went fast and smooth The CD drive has a very slim profile for easy storage The price of the CD reader was very reasonable
