    I want a back up drive so I got this one since it was on sale. I think I had trouble with it but I didn't press the DVD down far enough before pushing the door in.

    Great external CD/DVD drive. As technology progresses the CD/DVD drive has disappeared. So this was a great addition when I needed to archive years of my Fathers CD’s.

    Exactly the product we were looking for. We asked an associate if Besy Buy had this type of product in stock. In less than a minute, the associate showed us the product. Excellent customer service. We used the product as soon as we returned home. It worked wonderfully.

    I needed to get a simple DVD writer for my computer since it only came with DVD-ROM drive. Enter the LG DVD Writer. Nice compact size, nice price point.

    It was the sexiest external USB DVD writer in the store, so I bought it. Okay, it works well, is quiet, fast for an external and has a low profile. Those things too.

    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.
