    The DVD drive is small and easy to carry with my laptop. I have used it a total of 6 times and twice had to stop it and reposition the DVD to get it to read. It would start vibrating and would not read the DVD. Did get all the DVDs read and completed my work.

    I wanted to have an extra external drive at home, so I don't have to remember to bring one home from work. It was easy to use and worked better (and quieter) than the computer name brand one I use at work. It even comes with some (media) software, but I haven't used it.

    2 stars because of my hassles... So, I'm somewhat old school in that I like to buy audio cds and rip them for my mp3 player and car. I started to use it for just that, and got 4-5 cds into it and it started to "act up". It could read fine, play an audio cd in audio mode fine, but when it wound up the RPMs for rip mode, it seemed like the read/write head had a hard time finding or keeping its spot on the cd (given all the clicking I heard). And eventually the rip process would fail. Unfortunately I didn't familiarize myself with Best Buy's return policy (this was after Christmas) and "there was nothing they could do" about an exchange! I had to deal with LG directly. After a number of emails exchanged, LG sent me a postage-paid return label for the free exchange. 2 - 3 weeks later I received the new drive, which has been working good since.
