Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is amazing how inexpensive these new drives are. This unit is quiet, lite-weight and fast with a small foot print. Great Value

Nice simple low cost external drive. Works fine to copy/transfer/play DVD or CD programs or movies. Lightweight plastic housing is sufficient for normal use, but don't drop it on a corner, it might crack. Quiet & fast enough, a good easy to carry along addition to a newer laptop that doesn't include an optical drive.

Lightweight and easy to use. Compatible with my hp laptop. Fast speeds. Ready to go in an instant. Great price

It worked perfect and I was able to rip my old CD collection quickly! Also it small quiet and compact so it won’t take up much space. One last thing it was plug and play so I was able to get going immediately.

Being that everything today is going 100% digital and nothing is available in a hard format, as well as Apple Mac products no longer having disc drives, I needed to purchase an external drive, after sifting through a lot of poorly manufactured cheap drives I found this inexpensive well made LG entry level budget friendly disc drive, it does what it is stated to do and gets the job done well with no problem. It is thin and compact and the usb cord is just long enough to not be in the way, it stows well in a laptop bag. I have used it so far to read and write CDs for my MacBook and I am completely satisfied with the performance. For something so simple and compact and made of mostly plastic this little LG seems to me to be the best choice for the money so far.

Bought an iMac with no optical drive. Picked this up. Reasonably priced with decent features. So far I've only burned some audio discs, but it worked perfectly. Simple to use. Nothing to install. I was a little disappointed that the included software is windows only, but since I've had Roxio Toast on my machine, that was no problem. If you do a lot of disc burning and need to get into the nuts and bolts of disc authoring, I would highly recommend finding some third party software as opposed to relying solely on the native Mac app capabilities. Also keep in mind that at this price point, this burner may or may not have all the capability that you need, so compare the specs carefully....

Very convenient USB drive now that cd/dvd drives are no longer built into laptops. Runs quiet and fast, easy set up.

LG DVD burner always is a great product fast light weight and easy to use great condition and great price for a dvd burner

works great, and is fast, small and portable. does just what we need it to.

My disc drive broke in my really old laptop. I didn't know how to replace it and my warranty expired years ago. This little gem is perfect. The only thing is I had to get a separate pouch to carry it in since it didn't have one in the box. Other than using up a port, works great for everything I need. I recommend this if you need a quick, easy fix for a broken disc drive.

Compact, light, and powerful! This device has dratically improved my ability to digitally enhance my photgraphic compositions. Lifesaver!!!

I recently bought a bare bones computer that came with a read only drive. I found this LG drive on best buy's web site and said it looks cheap but I am retired and on a budget so I will give it a try. This thing is not cheap! And for only $40.00? Really? I have other drives that i could have installed but that would require me to open up the computer case and move things around. This is a USB drive so a very simple installation. The performance is very good. It reads and writes well. All in all I can't find anything on the web that comes anywhere near the quality for the price.

Plays and writes DVDs with no problem. Had to delete and install the op. software 2 times before I had success. However, a power issue might have caused the problem. Instructions to install software are weak -- a lot of knowledge is presumed. Also, I keep getting pestered to buy a software upgrade which I don't appreciate. Does a nice job of managing digital stills, which is a nice surprise. Overall, for the price, I think this drive is good value.

I found some old CD's that I wanted to digitize and share with friends but no ones computer has a optic drive anymore! this unit came in super handy! it runs fast and very quiet and I am really happy with the results. I got it on sale and the price was great too. It was just plug and play, I dont think it even needed to install any drivers, just showed up as another drive and worked flawlessly without hassle right out of the box. Thanks!

I bought this to upload songs from CDs and to burn backup discs of important files. It performs better than I expected. Quiet, lightweight, and compact.

It looks good. It is right size and the light weight. It works very well, and it was good price when I purchased.

Convenient DVD player to have for portability. We got this for our bedroom tv or for on the go. It is pretty good overall. Very basic. We have Apple laptops that are a little older and sometimes that gives us trouble, but I think it's more a problem with Apple than with the DVD player. It is very small and compact which is nice.

I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! From the moment I opened the package, I could tell this product was high quality. The design is sleek, the materials feel durable, and it works exactly as described — if not better. What really impressed me was how easy it is to use. The setup was simple, and the performance has been flawless. It has definitely exceeded my expectations and offers amazing value for the price. I’ve been using it regularly and have had zero issues so far. If you’re considering buying this, don’t hesitate

Hooks up and drivers installed fine, very light weight and compact. Don’t need a cd player very often but was welcome addition to the laptop setup that manufacturers decided not to put cd on machines.

I purchased this unit because I needed to pull some photos from an older CD for work. All of our laptops and surface tablets do not have CD drives, and the desktop PCs in the office are managed by GPO and cannot use the disc drive. I plugged this in to my surface and it was good to go right out of the box. Quickly copied 580 photos to my device and was very quiet the entire time. It's super low profile so I just tossed it in my laptop bag in case I ever need it again!
