    The DVD/CD in my laptop stopped working. This external USB was easier to use. It was also a good price. It works great.

    I bought this because I needed one for my Mac but the Best Buy associate recommended it instead. I have a PC for work that I can now use it on. It is also half the price of the Mac version

    Imagine my surprise when I started shopping for a new laptop and found that most do not have optical drives! I suppose it is to encourage users to download software. However, having invested in lots of software over the years ( some that will even run on Windows 10), I need to be able to install my disks. Also, although OneDrive had my system up and running seamlessly, much of my music library was gone. Again, I’m not keen on rebuying stuff, even if downloads are easy. My new LG disk drive works well. Also, it is slim and smart-looking. My work area is small, and it fits right in.

    This drive does exactly what I wanted it to do -- connect externally to a PC so as to play CDs through it -- with minimal muss and fuss, and the price was right, too. Can't beat that!
