Easy to use on a laptop without an internal drive. Plugged it in after i got it home and was able to watch a DVD without a hiccup

A good alternative for my new Desktop since most computers now do not come with DVD/CD drives. Worked effectively for my needs. Would recommend

Had to buy this LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive for my new omen 30L gaming desktop since it did not come is a cd drive was unable to load games etc. this drive is pretty fast for an 8x and works great excellent valve for price. I would buy again

This external USB drive works great! I had purchased two other ones from another source and neither of them worked correctly. This one is easy to use and plays all of my dvds and cds without any problems. Thanks, Best Buy!

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!

Works fine. Would recommend it to anyone that needs to burn cd's.

Easy to use, light weight & small enough to be carried.

Very convenient, easy to use, great size and great price.

great product easy to use.i would buy this for my family

Very light and easy to use Nice to carry around when doing a lot of Maps of the U.S.

It's Very compact. Very good for traveling with. So far it has performed flawlessly,no problems at all. It operates quietly. (Not noisy). It is a very good device to have since most modern laptops no longer have a built in cd/dvd player. It is worth the money that I paid for it.

Great item , definitely recommend to get this when you need one.

Great product and easy to use. Very slim and fits under my laptop riser, so easy to reach when I need to view and/or listen to music.

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.

Oved this . Its easy to use. Value for money. Nothing else is needed

Easy to install, light weight, excellent perfomance

I bought this to use with a new laptop that I recently purchased (optical drives are being phased out by most manufacturers). I plugged it in via the included USB cable and it worked with absolutely no issues. There seemed to be some confusion about whether or not it was Windows 11 compatible, as I saw Q&A featuring both yes and no answers but I can confirm that it definitely DOES work with Windows 11. The drive itself is roughly the size of a CD jewel case so it is very portable. For the price I paid (I got it on sale for around $20.00) I am very satisfied with my purchase. It also comes with Cyberlink Media software disc, which I can't comment on because I have no intention of using it.

Easy to use; works with the laptops I have. Good value for price.

Nice DVD player. Easy to use. I wanted something to play my DVDs that was multi-functional
