    I ordered a laptop and didn't realize until it arrived that it did not have a CD or DVD drive. This was a cheap, sleek, and fast option.

    I've only used it twice so far. It works fine, but the button is difficult to push because it is so small. You need an accessory to eject the tray. Easy to set up & use.

    I received as a Christmas gift and THEN started looking at reviews here and got scared when I saw the drive won't open after awhile. So far I am ok..but I've only had the thing a month. So hopefully my luck will remain.

    It's a bit loud during use and feels very cheap/plastic. However, who cares? I liked the price! It's a simple device that does what its supposed to do...read and write my DVDs.

    After looking at newer pc's I decided I would need a drive to accompany my new item. Choose the lg drive since of the wide variety of compatible items I own already working with it. I have not had a issue and has worked flawlessly.

    I purchased this because I can't find my other writer and I needed to make a rescue disc for my system. Worked as expected. Nothing fancy. very lightweight, almost a little on the flimsy side, but can't beat the price.

    As a non computer geek, I had a little trouble understanding how to install the cd/DVD drive on my computer. The technician at Best Buy's Geek Squad was very helpful. He installed it and explained how to get it running for my needs.

    I purchased this to go along with my HP Spectre x360. So far this has worked as it should and I have no complaints. The setup was simple and it runs great. Good little drive to use when you are on the go and still use DVD/CD-ROM's.

    I had few issues with this device when connected to my HP Spectre x 360 on Windows 10. Possibly a configuration issue. But it didnt work out of the box, I have to play around and fix few driver issues to make it work.

    The quality of the is cheap(made out of plastic), but its gets the job. You also need to download software before you are able to use it which is kind of a drag.

    I received points from buying my laptop that didnt have a cd/dvd drive and used them to help pay for this. Price came out for under 20 bucks.ITs good to have a least one of these if you still deal a lot with cd/vdv storage and vendor disks
