    Bought this inexpensive device to transfer old data from CD / DVD to computer hard drive. It has worked well thus far with no issues. Easy plug and play ability with Windows 10 / 11. Works great with reading old CD's, even with smudges.

    New laptops don’t have a DVD player so an external drive is good to have. Compact design for portability.

    Was helping an older person who had lots of CD and DVDs but a new laptop. He had purchased a cheap drive from amazon that was worthless. We plugged this LG into the laptop and voila! everything worked beautifully and the senior citizen was back in "business".

    I was skeptical about using this with my MacBook but it worked like a charm. It was fast and ran smoothly. Plus it's $50 cheaper than the superdrive !

    Burning again

    Just needed to replace the replacement for disc drive in an old computer that is used strictly for burning movies and cds (Yeah, really, some people still do this) Anyway, once we figured out how to get program to recognized this disc drive, it has worked great. Seemed like the one we were using before this we just plugged in and it worked. This is probably a user problem, not the fault of the product. After that it worked as expected.

    Nice replacement for an internal computer DVD

    It is reasonably priced external DVD that you may need to load old software that you have on a disk and to archive photos on all those discs you have left over from the days when laptops and some desktops came with a DVD /CD reader/writer. One word of caution..... the external reader/writer mechanism that holds the disk and ejects the disk must be plugged into the running computer to latch and eject the disk.
