    This DVD rom is easy to use and is good to have with the newer apple products because they don't put DVD roms in their machines anymore.

    I had to buy this because my new lap top didn't have a drive. I'm a teacher, so many resources are still on discs. It worked like a charm!

    Works great, reads faster than expected. Haven't had any issues yet. It is a little loud, but not a problem for the amount of time I use.

    LG DVD External Drive is easy to operate

    I purchased a similar LG DVD External Drive 9 months ago at Best Buy in Canada. The product was faulty - despite several return trips to Best Buy - the product continued to give problems. I purchased another similar LG DVD external drive in the USA - this product works perfectly and is so user friendly. Unfortunately Best Buy USA does not recognize purchases from Best Buy Canada. I contacted LG - I will have to return my faulty product to Best Buy in Canada. It is unknown what the outcome will be.

    Was told that this was the fastest external hard drive but it is slower than the one I was replacing. Was told that I couldn't return it because I was two days to late.
