Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very compact. Simple to use. Good value for the price

Plug and play. Pretty self explanatory. USB cable included to plug into computer. I have a Mac and my computer recognized device instantly. Plays DVD, CD, even reads my Action Replay software CD. Give it a try and see if this solves your projects and desires.

This is a simple, durable, and reliable device. Second time buying this, only because I lost the first one in a fire. Burns fast, reliable CD's DVD's. Light weight, plug and play, easy to transport.

I needed this to see my wife's medical imaging results and newer PCs do not come standard with them. Honestly, this is the first time in a few years I even needed to access a DVD disc. This unit was easy to setup, literally plug & play via USB. Slim footprint fits neatly. Great price to top it off!

This is one of those things you have to be over a certain age to find useful. As I came of age in the time when dinosaurs still walked the earth and CDs were starting to replace cassettes, I am very comfortable with CDs as my preferred platform to play music, and generally rip new CDs to computer and burn a copy for playing in the car so as not to damage the original. I know newer tech is more efficient, but CDs can't be canceled and your account deleted for your political or antisocial views. Anyway, as I had just purchased a new computer because of forced obsolescence due to no more support for Microsoft's terrible product, the new computer did not have a CD player, which is why I bought this product. I have not had any issues and it works as intended. If anything it feels a little on the fragile side, but other than that I have no complaints with it.

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.

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

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.

Light weight, compact, very gast, fairly quiet. I like that there is no need for a power chord. Powered via the usb connection. No real set up needed. Just plug it in and start using.

I hate that computers these days don't come with a DVD drive, so it's good that I can just plug one in to usb without hassle. Very slim and easy to put away when not in use. Quiet and writes fast. Plays video smooth.

Works great. Does what I need it to do. Very easy to use.

Works great with my old game CD. Easy to install and use.

Compact and convenient DVD/CD Drive. It plugs in and works well. What more can I say? Inexpensive too.

As an analogue man in a digital age, I welcomed a product that was as easy to use as this LG DVD / CD drive. I simply plugged it into my laptop, and it was fully operational. In addition, it worked efficiently as I spent hours going through stacks of CD's that had been left untouched for years, leaving me feeling as though I had been reunited with old friends. Thank you, LG!!

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!

Easy to set up and use! Great quality for the price. I was initially disappointed that my new laptop had no dvd drive, but, for the amount I need one this is even better! Compact, great purchase!

I purchased this DVD drive for my laptop that didn't have any DVD drive included with it. I like to be able to watch Netflix DVD's on my laptop. This drive works perfect without any problem. Simply plug it into your USB slot and your OS should identify the drive right away. It comes with some DVD viewing software but unfortunately you'll eventually have to pay for the subscription of the DVD software. Hardware wise thought, it works great. You can connect it and disconnect the drive from your laptop often without any problems.

My old laptop has all the old peripherals--DVD read and write, VGA monitor output, HDMI, USBs, and of course Ethernet--what it cannot do at its age is upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. It is nice to have everything in one package when I take it (or rather took it) on the road. With the "new and improved" sleek thin line laptops, it is all gone. I cannot even get a combo of hard drives like I would want because SSD is the new Ahhhh. That is great if you do not work in media and need a 1 T or more for storage alone. So, new sleek laptop: now add a USB/VGA hub for more outlets. Add an external hard drive for data, and add this nice portable DVD/CD drive. The area around my laptop now looks like a tech store display--but look how thin my laptop is... All sarcasm aside, this has been a lifesaver. Plug and play, already had VLC Media Player which works great with it. Now if I am in an archive or library and the media I need is on a disc, no problem. I even got it its own padded case to go inside the brief case. When form overtakes function, practical solutions like this are what you need.

Small, simple, easy! I won't use it that often so didn't need something expensive with features I will never need. So far it has work perfectly!

This was a great purchase! Bought it onsale at a very reasonable price! I needed to put music on my laptop, from my CDs, to transfer to a USB for my car. Was a very smooth transition. I haven't tried DVDs yet so I can't speak on behalf. I do highly recommend this External Drive!
