    My new HP Envy x360 purchased at Best Buy in South Bay, Boston does not have a CD/DVD drive, I purchased this LG external drive. It works perfectly and meets my needs.

    I got it on sale for $15 and he does a great job. Most of the time I’m using it to burn audio CD. No issues at all. I wish it can support slower speed when burning CD. The lowest available option is 10 XO.

    This external dvd burner works great as a replacement defective unit on a computer OR as an upgrade for a windows laptop that did not include a dvd drive which seems to have became common. The fact that it only requires one usb connection is a plus.

    I bought this 9 months ago to burn some CD's for my kids. It worked great until I tried to use it a few weeks ago. Now the device turns on & sounds like it's reading the disk when I plug it in, but neither my Mac, nor Windows 11 PC recognize it. Near as I can tell, there is no support for Windows 11 or current MacOS. I know it's an old design, but the mfg. date is January 2024. I expect a company like LG to support their own products at least as long as they're selling them. Disappointed in the lack of support for what seemed to be a good product. $25 down the drain!

      Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG DVD Drive (SP80NB80) model. We understand your concern about a device that stops working as expected, especially after just a few months of use. We strive to provide high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations. Since both your Mac and Windows 11 PC are not recognizing the device, we recommend checking for any available firmware or driver updates for the device on the official LG support website. For Windows 11, ensuring that all USB drivers are updated through Device Manager could also help with device recognition. For guidance, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-burners-drivers-firmware-and-software-downloads--1434654347994.

      We’d like to investigate this issue further and offer additional assistance. Please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport with more details, and we’ll work with you to find a resolution. We appreciate your feedback and are here to help. ^Juvy LG
