    I got this cd-drive because my mac didn't have one, and I didn't want to spend so much on the apple one, so I decided to take a gamble and buy the less expensive one. This product works wonderfully. Gets the job done!!

    Small, sleek, and easy to use. I plug it into my iMac when I need to use a disc and then take it off and put it away in a drawer when I don't need it. Works great and I thought it was priced very well.

    My favorite feature is that it runs off the USB so I don't need another freak'n power cable just to burn a quick disc. Very slim and light so no biggie to leave in the laptop bag until the rare need arises. Great unit.

    My laptop did not have a cd drive, and nowadays it's not needed much. So this is a great affordable alternative. Plug and play when you need it, and put it away when you don't!

    I needed to transfer some music from all of my old cd's onto my new computer. Since laptops with cd roms are becoming a thing of the past, this was the best and most affordable option!!! Great product!!!

    Having a notebook with no hard drive makes installing software a challenge. No more problems with this handy drive. It stores safely in a small drawer when not in us and is portable if I need to take it along with me.

    I just bought a new Toshiba laptop for college. The laptop didn't have an optical drive so I purchased this one at BestBuy. It connected easily and works great with the laptop.

    I needed a DVD/CD reader to use in place of the broken one in my laptop. also, my grandson advised getting an external drive since many new computers don't have such a drive.

    Decent DVD drive. It is a little noisy. It also requires use of LG drivers to be recognized by laptop. Now that many laptops are skipping on the optical drive, need a good external drive so this is a good option.

    I bought this drive since it seems more and more computers are losing their optical drives. Plugged it into my new mac and with no drivers needed works great. Installing software and watching movies is a breeze.

    Bought new laptop. Newer ones don't have CDROM slot and we're forced to buy a reader if we use them to burn CD's, install new equipment, etc. The device works fine. The fact we're forced to buy one is terrible!!!

    I plugged this into my Mac mini and it did exactly what I intended for it do. Burned all my cd's to my I-tunes and also plays my videos that I had previously recorded on my JVC dvd recorder compatible with 80 mm dvd-r disc's.

    I purchased this product because my old laptop broke and I had to purchase another one from best buy as well. The new laptop didn't come with the cd/dvd drive and this one was very affordable. Again as allways Thanks Best Buy.
