Inexpensive, fast, reliable, takes little space, and very light. Just plug the USB cable, it gets immediately recognized by Windows 10. Finally, it does not need a separate power cable, since it pulls power from the USB connection.

LG - Ultra Slim 8x External USB DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive

I bought this unit to use with my new 12" MacBook that did not come with a built in CD/DVD drive, which was fine with me since I opted for its small size over a built in drive that is not used very much any more. With the advent of video options like Hulu and NetFlix, popping in a video disc is a moot point now. However, there are times that I need to access info or documents from a CD. So this External Drive is a useful product for those rare times that I need it.

While cleaning my garage I ran across three boxes of old cd's (roughly 400). I decided they were worth the time to upload them to my music library; ...only to find that my old external DVD/CD RW driver was no longer supported by windows 7. I decided to give this product a chance - the price was great; plug & play on mac & pc. I no longer have much use for a disc r/w; but it fits nicely in my backpack; out of the way until the next happenstance. It takes up very little space; about as thin as my ipad. Anyway the project went great & I'm very happy with the purchase; and the new/old music!

Great additional DVD/CD drive if your internal drive isn't functioning properly. My internal drive could read DVD/CDs but couldn't burn DVD/CDs. With the external drive, I can burn without any problems. It was compatible with my DVD/CD burning software already installed on my Toshiba laptop.

With an All-In-One HP Desktop computer and it's multiple USB device interfaces, being able to use a reliable, fast, small footprint and conveniently designed DVD unit was important.
The ability to stash this device underneath the HP All-in-One unit while providing quick and easy connection capability is a welcome addition to the equipment I use for this computer.
And, it's price point is well within accepted spending limits.

I purchased this with my laptop that had no optical drive. I was concerned about it only being USB 2.0 but it works fine. And the low cost made it a bargain. There are not many times you need an optical drive these days but I always like to had the DVD version of a product so I can easily re-install if needed. That's just me.

Plugged it in, auto-play, works fine. I reviewed it and most reviews were 4 or 4+ stars. It was very good price and it was not going to be used a lot so it was a smart buy

This drive is nice and light weight with only the USB connection required.
It seems they are quite selective about which media will or will not work.

A Best Buy employee recommended this drive. Said it is the one he has. It works just fine for the occasional use I give it. And since it didn't cost much, I agree it is a "Best Buy".
