    Works great. Just slower but its honest about it in the description. Slower meaning they sale models more expensive which are faster but if your just wanting to use with a 2015 macbook it worked for me

    No CD/DVD drive in your computer but you find you still need one? Dont hesitate to pick up one of these. It works as well as a built in of comperable speeds and its sleek profile makes it easy to pack away for travel and daily storage when not in use.

    I think it works okay. I tried it with photos but haven't yet tried it for its purchase purpose (only reason I haven't given 5 stars yet)

    Since virtually no PCs/Laptops come with built in drives anymore, I had to get an external one to rip CDs onto my music service. This works well, is fast, and seemingly well built. Excellent for the price and recommended.

    Bought this as gift so they could watch DVDs. Most new laptops and even computers no longer have DVD drives, so sometimes you need one of this. Nothing fancy and I trust the LG name. Simple and it works.

    Bought this for my wife's new laptop (came without dvd drive). She uses it for installing some special programs that she uses. No problem being recognized by windows 10. Installed software just fine. Works best when you work on a flat work area like a desk or table top. Not to be used in your lap.

    I purchased this External DVD/CD Drive with the hope that I would be able to install an old photo program software onto my new computer since it did not have a DVD/CD Drive. The sales associates were not sure if it would work or not to do this. I am delighted to say that it DID WORK, and I could not be happier as I love my old software!

    I love this optical drive. It isn't ridiculously loud and gets the job done quickly. I was able to extract all our vhs home videos after digitizing.
