    It gets the job done and is light weight and doesn't take up much space. Since I don't use it that much, it's fine for me.

    I was going to buy the Apple external drive until the salesperson suggested I look at this LG. Although I usually stick with Apple, I decided to give this a try and it has worked flawlessly since I bought it. Would definitely recommend.

    I bought this for my 12 year old as she got a new laptop for xmas and it did not come with a CD-ROM. She loves playing The Sim's games and needed to be able to install them from the CD. Works perfectly and easy to install.

    DVD Drive

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

    I originally got this product because the computer i bought doesn't come with a dvd drive and I do a project where i need to burn about 40 dvds. It worked great for burning the dvds. It only took a couple hours to do 45 DVDs. I did have to restart the burning process once because it randomly shut off. Although I could not playback the DVDs when I was done. In a computer you just stick them in and they go right to the media player, when i put a finished DVD back in it went to a folder. So i wasn't able to actually check if the DVD burned correctly right there on my computer. I had to find a DVD player or another computer.

    Our salesperson suggested this product & it works just as he directed to download audio book CD's on to my Ipod. An unexpected feature: it can be used to play DVD's on my Smart TV!

    I bought this for my cyberpower PC. It had no DVD for installation of software. I like LG products an it performs well as other reviews indicated. Plug and play and comes with music and burning software. Excellent product!!

    A reasonably priced laptop with good size memory and drive storage. The SSD drive is quite fast. The light weight is a bonus, but an external CD/DVD drive was needed since none comes with the computer.

    Bought a new laptop computer, brought it home and turned it on and realized that it did not have a CD/DVD drive. When you are shopping, they all begin to look alike and you start to lose track of the details

    I bought this external CD drive because my new laptop didn't come with one. It plays the CD/DVD without skipping and writes to a CD quickly. It's very light, which was important to me, and doesn't take up much room on my small desk.

    Needed to replace the drive on a laptop that quit working and opted for an external one. This has done the job and I have no complaints with the product. It was much less inexpensive than repairing or replacing the existing drive.

    My kids new HP Envy laptops do not DVD available. So I bought this to install virus protection, printer discs, and older games they liked so that I didn't have to go find drivers online to download. It worked great.

    I needed this for a quick software install for a laptop that didn't have a cd drive. I plugged it into my USB, it autoloaded the need software, and I was off to the races. Exactly what I needed it for!

    The cd reader/writer on my computer stopped working and I wanted to transfer hundreds of songs from CD's to my iPod. Reviews on this product were mixed. I took a chance due to the price. Worked great. Easy set up and use.

    We recently purchased a MAC Mini and realized we needed something to handle movie DVDs and other CDs. This little device works great and my wife uses it for her art videos. Thanks for helping us choose this in Best Buy.

    There isn't much to say other than it working fine. The product is well priced and performs the task I want from it. I do wish that it was more easily compatible with MAC computers since the wife has one.

    What can I say? It just works. If you're in the market for an external USB DVD player, this one is a great choice. I use it with my MacBook Pro and it just works. No hassle. No fuss. Just plug it in and let it spin.

    Works great. I'm pleased I can load cd software and the fact I can play music is a bonus. This unit will also play video, but I have no interest so I have not tried it. Set up and install was just about a no brainer - very simple

    Have an iMac without a drive so needed this for some discs my wife needed for school. Since purchase we have continued to get a lot of use out of the drive. Nice to have one around even though not needed all the time.
