    Great piece of hardware that does what it is supposed to do. Inexpensive and light weight. Not sure how durable it is.

    When I discovered my new laptop didn't have a DVD slot, I had to get an external DVD player. This one works fairly well.

    I purchased this drive because me laptop doesn't have an optical drive. Some users have complained the drive is noisy during use which was a concern, but my drive is very quiet. I've used the drive with both store bought movie dvds and dvds that I burned myself without any issues. This may sound crazy, but when I opened the box containing the drive, there were two spiders inside the box which fell onto my floor. I called LG to report the problem.

    This was a little hard to get started. Not a great drive for the beginner. I had trouble getting started. Works well, had to have help installing it.

    The lap top does everything that I ask it to. It replaces a much older/Slower Toshiba and it is well work the upgrade.

    Do you want to use your tablet as a computer?

    Keep the weight down; keep the cost down, not sure why, but today's tablets are not very feature laden. I can't speak for other operating systems but If you want to utilize a Windows based tablet, this is perfect for installing your programs. I confess that while I don't use this drive every day it has always worked when it was needed. Such a portable item at such a modest price!

    This is the first time using an external optical drive. It works very efficiently and well for the price. I was hesitant to get an external usb drive instead of replacing the internal drive, but I found this drive works better than the one I had before it went out and it was even cheaper than the internal drives. Overall its a good product for both its price and quality.

    Had trouble getting the drawer for the disc to open. After that it worked fine until I needed to take the disc out. Took several tries again.
