    Very Easy to use. Great price. Computers don't have DVD drives anymore, but we have thousands of DVD's we want to keep. This was the perfect solution. We love BestBuy!

    Works as needed. Light weight. Plug in with USB and it recognizes it as another drive. Using a MacPro. Seems like it should be less expensive.

    This DVD drive is really sleek, light weight and noiseless. I have used the DVD drive couple of times. I did not see any major issues. So far so good. But worth every penny spent.

    A great addition when your iMAC does not include a DVD reader. No power cord required, powered by USB port. No setup either, just connect & use.

    I tried the Apple external DVD player but I didn't like it. Being an Apple fanatic it's very rare that I don't like one of their products but I had been burned by failures in the slot load and eject feature on two iMacs. The LG external has a manual tray load that seems much less likely to fail. It's a very light and portable external drive. So far I've only used it to view and rip DVDs to my Mac Book Air but it has worked perfectly every time. Great value.

    Needed a dvd player while traveling, and this did the job just fine. Haven't used to write DVDs yet, but easy and pretty cheap as a player to accompany a laptop.
