since laptops do not have a drive anymore this is a must have if you need to install anything and the price was low

Bought this drive for my Mac Pro that I bought 2nd hand with no optical drive. Install was a snap; just pull off the faceplate for the drive, pull out the drive carrier, 4 screws in, connect the SATA cable, and done! No drivers were required for OS X and this thing is FAST. The only issue I have had since then is with the drive randomly turning on. The gears moves, it wirrs, the LED comes on, and it's annoying. It only lasts for a few moments, then stops but keeps happening.

This is one of those items which are hard to go into great detail about. You plug it in, it sets up, you use it. I purchased this particular unit based on it's comfortable price, desktop footprint, and manufacturer (LG) - I seem to buy a lot of LG. It was needed for blue moon use with my laptop (no optical drive). It's mostly designated to the back of the desk next to the backup drive. This doesn't have Blue-ray capability, but I didn't need that feature, which also kept the cost more where I wanted it. Priced at four stars - nothing is ever inexpensive enough for me. Compatibility at four stars - worked for me, I have no idea regarding other match ups.

Did a new computer build and needed a new drive to load windows. easy install. No issues

It has met my expectation. I purchased this for my macbook air.

Products by LG are excellent. This burner does all I need and then some. I believe that all LG products are made to perform outstandingly well and made to last for a very long time.

Good price, nice product, & very nice employees. Actually looking for a VCR but they are no longer available.

Had it working in 15 Minutes. Works without any problem and does not require a lot of tech knowledge,

It worked for what I needed it to. I needed to install windows on my computer and this drive gave me that option.

I wished I would've known more about the price match at the time of purchase but this DVD drive has been good for what I've needed it for.

Fits well into my tower but the eject buttons did not match up. Installed almost instantly and ran right away.

Had to return first one, tray would not open with disc in using eject or the button. Second one works better but spin up is loud. It is also loud when changing sections on disc during game play. But it is playing smoothly and with no skipping.

I purchased this, but have yet to use it. I purchased it to be able to read the disc that were for my old laptop which crashed. I was happy that my daughter told me about this so I didn’t loose all those files and pictures.

I needed a drive that could handle multiple burns in one session and couldn't be happier with this drive. It's a fast drive and hasn't given me a bad burn yet.

What a great buy and now I have 2 disk drives that can copy/write to another disk. I could not believe how inexpensive the drive was.

Drive installed with no problems on new computer I built -Windows 10. Reads many formats so I do not think I will run into any problems .

For a light user like me, with the occasional need to install an OS and whatnot from a CD/DVD this drive has done what it's made to do. It wasn't pricey either.

This DVD drive was easy to install and works great. Note: since this drive is SATA, you will need to purchase your own cables if replacing an IDE drive.

Gets the job done. Nothing fancy but at the price you can't go wrong.

I needed an inexpensive DVD/CD writer to replace a defective unit in a backup machine. Performance of this unit exceeded my expectations.
