Easy to use and portable

I would recommend this to a friend Worked great. Till LG stopped supporting it.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this 9 months ago to burn some CD's for my kids. It worked great until I tried to use it a few weeks ago. Now the device turns on & sounds like it's reading the disk when I plug it in, but neither my Mac, nor Windows 11 PC recognize it. Near as I can tell, there is no support for Windows 11 or current MacOS. I know it's an old design, but the mfg. date is January 2024. I expect a company like LG to support their own products at least as long as they're selling them. Disappointed in the lack of support for what seemed to be a good product. $25 down the drain!

We understand your concern about a device that stops working as expected, especially after just a few months of use.

Since both your Mac and Windows 11 PC are not recognizing the device, we recommend checking for any available firmware or driver updates for the device on the official LG support website.

The external CD Rom player worked perfectly.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The portable external CD Rom drive worked perfect for my application to work from home and I was very pleased that I ordered it on line and was able to pick it up at the front of the store and did not have to go in the store to pick it up which caused me to have much less exposure to the virus or other sickness. Thank you Best Buy for helping to protect your Customers. Charlie Jackson
