    I’ve used this to install tons of computer music software, sample libraries and more with no issues whatsoever. Small, lightweight and easy to hook up when needed, this is very convenient.

    LG - 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Black works flawlessly. Reasonably priced, only took a few minutes to get it up and running. A must for a laptop with no CD drive.

    My recent computer purchase did not have a dvd drive. This was the solution. Very small, light weight. Fits in my computer case easily. I don't play dvd's very often but this gets the job done.

    It's compact portable with adequate read/write speed for my needs. Also it just uses one USB connecter for both power and data transfer. It's everything I expected and has worked great so far.

    Light weight is a two edged sword. The drive is completely portable, I take it with me all the time. Nice and slim but the light weight does make the drawer a little flimsy. Can't have it all. I'm just careful loading my cd's and closing the drawer
