    I bought this to go along with my new iMac. It was under half of the price of the Apple superdrive and works just fine with my mac. Just plugged it in and it worked.

    I went to Best Buy looking for an internal drive for my laptop but the sales person suggested an external drive as an option. I was leery at first but its been a great product. Its light weight, easy to use and fast. Great product

    Works magic! I put the USB into my computer and was able to watch some of my favorite movies on DVD right away. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of buying this because it is easy, lightweight, and affordable. I have no complaints.

    I needed a CD/DVD drive for my laptop, and this is one. There weren't a lot of options in the store, and this was reasonably priced. It works and is nice and compact. It's a little bit noisy sometimes, but what can you do?

    I added this device as my new PC did not include one. This drive is compact and is easily carried in your backpack or whatever bag you carry your PC in. It is fast and efficient and not noisy at all.

    Inexpensive Optical Drive

    My family needed an optical drive for our computers (both of which have no disc drives). This little guy filled that need very well. My wife uses it much, much more than I do and uses it regularly every day. We had the same model before this particular one and it wore out - which it should probably have lasted longer than 9 months. However, due to our excessive use maybe that is just to be expected. It was a very inexpensive drive anyway, so it was not big deal to replace with another. The drive is super easy to set up - literally just plug and use! It is not at all complicated.

    Does everything I need it to and does it effectively. A lot of the newer laptops don't come with CD drives, this product can come in handy when such a drive is needed. Very speedy and portable.

    It's small, light-weight and has rubber pads on the bottom so that it does not slide. Nothing fancy, but it is nice to have. The product feels a bit flimsy but is a good value for the price.

    LG external DVD/CD drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this with my new laptop which did not come with a dvd/cd input. I use my laptop a lot for pictures and movies so having the ability to utilize discs was essential. At first while trying to figure out how it works I was supprised that the new Window 10 laptops do not come with a program to run/play DVDs but once I downloaded a program the LG drive connected instantly and brought up the DVD. The drive does make a light humming noise and vibrates but this is not an issue for me because I usually use my headphones when watching movies. I have dropped it a few times and hit it with a DVD running inside and it still runs like a champ. Great external drive for the price, would recommend!

    We were looking for a practical external DVD player to quickly replace the factory one installed in our desktop computer. This one works great, is easy to use, small, and economical. Everything we were looking for.

    This is my second USB DVD for my ultrabook. The first one had very inconsistent results as it seemed to need more power than the port could supply. This one works flawlessly, it's smaller, and very lightweight.

    Simple plug and play with Windows 7 Pro. It does come with a driver DVD but it is mostly bloatware and wasn't even needed to get the unit to work properly. It is USB 2.0 even though on the package it states 3.0 compliant. Used the loop hole that 3.0 is backward compatible I guess. It is not overly loud and is exactly what I needed for my rig to be able to play or use DVD disks. Overall good product that is kind of a must have for any system builder wanting to be able to use install CD/DVDs.There are still more than a few pieces of hardware where you will run into needing this type of drive during building and configuration of new systems.
