    Functions well. No problems and price was right. The best part of this DVD player is that it you can actually plug into the back of a smart TV and play so it’s cheaper than getting your own DVD player

    I got this to meet two needs: 1) An ultra portable DVD drive; 2) a DVD drive that would work with my Surface Pro 3. This unit completely fills both requirements. The included software is very kludgy and ad-infested, so I downloaded the free VLC media player, and that works GREAT!

    Isn't it crazy laptops nowadays don't come with CD drives?! I'm old school, I buy, listen to, and burn CDs. So I bought this drive, and it is doing the trick! I have uploaded scores of CDs so far, all with no hassle. This bad boy is quiet, fast and capable. Well pleased!

    I purchased this drive to go along with my ultra-thin laptop that doesn't have a CD or DVD drive at all, and when I hook this thing up it worked perfectly! For a low cost of $20 I was able to add a DVD player and Rider to my very expensive laptop that didn't have one. Probably one of the best purchases I've made this year!

    When I discovered my new computer lacked a DVD/CD drive, I wasn't too happy. However, it proved less a problem than I thought after I purchased an external drive. It works great, is easy to use, and small enough to take up little space. Can't ask for more than that!

    For the first time I bought a laptop with no CD/DVD drive. I still wanted one and needed a small and fast and reliable one that can also burn new discs. This LG has been a great addition and is quiet and faat and has been great under daily use. I even connected it to my NAS for some time with no problems to burn off a backup. Love it.

    I purchased this as part of a deal, when my son purchased his laptop. His came with a cd/dvd reader/burner. I had been for awhile for a cd/dvd burner; but had not yet pulled the trigger. My new laptop did not come with an internal one, as some are no longer providing. I do still need one for burning and mostly to copy cd's that I own or purchase to add to my music collection. While it is not the fastest available, the price was great and with the package discount of 20%, the price and the device were more than adequate for my needs. If you need very high speed, for some reason, then I would suggest that you look at the faster version of this; but if just using for copying, etc. it is fine.

    The LG 8X external USB double-layer DVD drive is a necessity for laptops these days. Manufacturers are no longer offering DVD drives in several models of their laptops. However, for the type of work I do, I need to burn data and archive videos to DVD for extra security. This external drive was a good value!
