    My new HP Envy x360 purchased at Best Buy in South Bay, Boston does not have a CD/DVD drive, I purchased this LG external drive. It works perfectly and meets my needs.

    I really like that it only takes 2 minutes to burn 7 songs in wav files. It sounds great and works amazing! Glad I got it for $24.99 instead of $39.99. I love my savings! Thank you Best Buy!

    Works pretty good. It's a little sluggish with my M1 macbook pro, but it still gets the job done.It was also completely plug and play with a usb-c adapter.

    I got it on sale for $15 and he does a great job. Most of the time I’m using it to burn audio CD. No issues at all. I wish it can support slower speed when burning CD. The lowest available option is 10 XO.

    This external dvd burner works great as a replacement defective unit on a computer OR as an upgrade for a windows laptop that did not include a dvd drive which seems to have became common. The fact that it only requires one usb connection is a plus.
