    Simple, elegant, fast, terrific. Not much more I can say about it, honestly. It fires right up, drives loaded up with out any trouble or hassle, and is absolutely what I needed for my desktop that didn't come with a DVD or CD drive or any sort.

    Works great. My new PC did not come with a CD/DVD Drive, so this allows me to play movies or rip music CDs to my hard drive. Great price too!

    Does it’s job and does it well. Just used it to rip a few CD’s for some old classics into iTunes. It did that no problem. Great little device for someone who doesn’t want to add a whole mechanism to their gaming rig.

    For cheap price and practical usage of a DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive this has been perfect. I have been having issues with my internal DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive so I bought this. Easy hookup and use. No frills, works easily and without issues. It is a bit "cluncky" but not an issue. Lightweight and easy to use between other devices. I would reccomend to buy if it suites your needs.

    I have been very happy with this CD/DVD drive. It is very compact and fast. It is necessary since most modern computers don't come with a CD drive anymore and I have lots of software and movies on CDs/DVDs. The drive came rapidly after I ordered it. Recommend.

    Seeing that my Apple - Mac mini did not come with a DVD writer/player, I purchased the LG external. I love it! Works perfect with my Mac-mini with no glitches. Plays and Writes flawlessly and fast. I highly recommend the LG for use with any Mac computer. By the way, the price is much lower than I expected.
