Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad at all. It does what it’s supposed to do but be careful not to touch the middle when it pops out to insert the disc. I believe that is the disc reader and that may damage it. But everything is good

I burn CDs to iTunes as I have done for 15 years or so. This external drive does the trick on my newer edition Samsung.

I would recommend this to a friendSubscription Needed to Play DVDs
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this device because of all the positive reviews so that I could use this on vacation to watch DVDs on my laptop. Little did I know, this is incompatible with all media players other than the program it makes you download - but once you download it, it requires you to get a $120 membership to play DVDs. I didn't realize this until I was on vacation, as I had picked it up on the way, and it's now outside the 15-day return window. $40 and an hour to troubleshoot were completely wasted on this player.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hi, Valerie. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We understand your concern about encountering compatibility issues, especially when you were looking forward to using it on vacation. We aim to offer top-notch products that exceed our customer's needs. It's important to know that this unit is easy to use, but some media players might need extra software for playing, which could cost money. To fix this, try finding other media players that don't need a subscription. VLC Media Player is a good choice as it works with many formats and is free. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with your details, and our team will be more than happy to assist you further regarding your concerns and explore your options for a resolution. ^Juvy

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was in a pickle and needed a dvd drive to install the utilities disc for a fresh windows install could’ve downloaded from gigabyte but going this route was easier .

I would recommend this to a friendVery good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design is very sleek and is easy to keep out of the way with its dimensions. Only flaw is that the connector cord is about a foot long so it’s best to buy a longer one with this purchase.
