    Had some old CD's and games I wanted to upload to my new laptop, but newer ones don't incorporate these Drivers anymore. I didn't want to spend a lot of money for one and this is what I came up with. Works fine, does what I needed it to do. Not noisy at all and is very compact so it fits in my carrying case with all my other things.

    This is a great little accessory to have now that most computers don't have DVD drives. It works for both Macs and PCs. It has a small footprint and can fit almost anywhere. A practical purchase.

    It's slim and simply works as it's supposed to. I need this for 2 reasons. Many new PCs don't have DVD/CD drives often required to install new software, use for storing info on a simple disc, or play Videos from disc.

    I needed this because I have a case with no 5.25 drive bays. This fits the bill. Burns CD's and DVD's with ease. It worked perfect with my Windows 10 computer. The price was outstanding. I bought this on sale for 20$. Can't beat that. Not complaints.

    Inexpensive, quiet and fast. Needed it for my macbook while traveling. Love it. A bit delicate so needs to be wrapped and protected if moved, in a case or with other items. But overall excellent little unit.

    My laptop did not have a CD drive so I had to purchase an external one. This LG-8x external USB drive is small and works great. I have enjoyed watching movies and playing music CD's on this drive.

    I used it a couple times with VLC media player and my dvd burning software. It worked great. The videos played perfectly fine and I was able to burn my dvds very quickly. This simply gets the job done in its very small portable size.

    I purchased this for my daughters computer bc it does have a cd rom which I thought was not even possible unless it was a Apple computer. So I had to buy this device so my daughter could watch movies on her computer. My daughter says it works good. So I’m happy with this product.

    I have had built in CD/DVD Rom Drives on all of my laptops until recently. As many new laptop computers have dropped CD/DVD drives to make them smaller, I found myself needing a portable drive and it is excellent. Small, sleek and works great...!!!
