    Great for writing songs and movies. The dvd writer is slim and stylish. Plug n play and it’s very easy to install on any computers.

    Product works good. Connects up easily to the computer via USB and creates DVDs from MPG files. Small and compact. The only problem is that the cable that comes with it is very short. A longer cable would have worked out better.

    My laptop does not have disk drive so I needed to read some old cdroms and dvds and this was a perfect fit. It fits in my laptop case to bring along with it. Great purchase and good price.

    My computer doesn't have a CD/DVD drive so I needed an external drive. I was very happy with the LG. It was easy to install and use and I got it for a good price. It works very well for me.

    I'd give Best Buy a five star rating for their price, locker pickup service, and fast order fulfillment. When I checked the price, it was competitive with others. The next day BB dropped the price to half. What's not to love about that? The LG drive worked fine right out of the box with Windows recognizing it without any action on my part. However, I'd recommend another brand. The disc tray is very flimsy and probably won't last long (that' why only 4 stars). But I'm still pleased with the purchase overall

    Since my new computer didn't include a CD drive, had to buy one. This one, though, is compatible (not bluray) but works on others. The price is pretty good too :-)

    A client needed a cd/DVD RW to load older software so purchased this plug and play drive. Cost effective and works perfectly. Also is great for data backups and listening to music cd's.
