    You can’t beat it for the price and it is extremely portable when used with modern day laptops that do not have a built in DVD player !

    I added this external DVD to my laptop computer purchase because I have many legacy apps (programs) and thought it would be something I might need down the road. The price was discounted as an enticement with the laptop purchase so it made sense go with it. It is a good bang for the buck and comes with 'free' software that will be used if I need to burn DVDs as well as other functionality that I have not explored yet. I am happy with this purchase.

    Got it from Bestbuy for $18. Work as it is supposed to. Was afraid of it not being seen by win10. Just plug it in and load DVD and need for driver download/update. It is worth the price.

    I received my LG -8x External USB Double-Layer DVD+_RW/CD-RW Drive-Black on July 3, 2020, late in afternoon. I came home and try to use it, but as I am not a computer expert I called, store & they give me appointment at-once. I reach the store in less then 10 minutes, and Geek Squad agents were ready to help me. They answered all my question, and showed me how to make copy/copies from CD. Next day one of my neighbor showed me, little more easy away from MAC to make copy using the external drive. Excellent Product.

    I bought this because my new laptop didn't come with a DVD/CD drive, like most nowadays. But I still have tons of CDs to read. This is fast and easy to use.

    Needed a way to read a DVD from a SFF PC. This was cheap and fit the bill. No drivers needed for MacOS or WIn10. Didn't hurt that it was on sale :)

    Can’t beat the price for an external dvd writer when it’s on sale. Great to use with Chromebooks that don’t come with a built-in dvd writer.
