    Easy to install on my Lenovo YOGA laptop. Very easy to use with my Windows 10 operating system. I have found no problems using this device. I basically use the DVD as a reader for education videos.

    Since a lot of new laptops don't include cd/dvd players i needed to get one. This one has worked flawless and i really do like it. it is very light and takes up hardly any room. It does everything you could ask for.

    Although I am disappointed that new lap tops do not come with a DVD slot, I am happy for the External DVD Writer that I was able to purchase. Works great and I was able to load data into my new computer with ease.

    I needed a disk drive for my new Mac Book Pro computer that doesn't have one and this little guy worked immediately after USB plug in. Simple and does the job perfectly at a very good price. Highly recommended!

    New Dell laptop didn't come with CD/DVD drive. Don't use this as much as I thought I would but it definitely fills a need for those occasions when someone needs a file on CD or to rip music CDs.

    I went to the store not knowing what product I needed to download cd's to my computer. The rep at Best Buy explained that if I wasn't going to use this for movies, that this ran at a perfect speed and he was right.

    This is the second LG slim external DVD writer I've purchased since I'm letting family members use the first one. I've been please with the product. I haven't loaded the included software, so I can't rate it.

    Works very well. Since we still have DVD's and CD's we want to use, and our computer didn't come with that type of drive, this now makes the computer use complete. Thank you.

    THis was the cheapest dvd drive I saw listed and needed one to add some cd and DVD based software to my mac mini. Works as it should with no additional power supply needed. No drivers need for the Mac either.

    As newer, thinner computers don't have disk drives anymore, I needed an external disk for the many CD and DVD's I have. This inexpensive external drive works great, and I've experienced no problems whatsoever.

    Had to have one to load software from DVD on small laptop/tablet that doesn't have one. Bought at bundled price of $25. Very worthwhile because I don't need a DVD player/writer often. Prefer this to keep the weight down.

    The computer I purchased did not have a cd drive so I use this when I need to copy or write to a cd. So far it has worked satisfactorily. It plugs in to a usb port when needed otherwise I keep it in a drawer.

    Bought this when my Mac Mini DVD burner would not complete a burn due to internal errors. This unit gets power from the USB bus and has worked fine for six video DVDs. Case is lightweight which is not a problem. A great buy.
