    I now have a DVD player and burner plugged in to my new laptop which did not include one! It's so great to be able to burn CDs and DVDs for my laptop once again!

    When I bought my first Apple MAC I was concerned that I had no way of copying from a CD/DVD or to play a DVD. That concern was eliminated when I purchased the USB DVD drive.

    I bought the LG DVD/CR RW for a laptop that lacks an integrated DVD drive. The unit is low priced, installs quickly, and shows no lag when reading or writing. Very slim profile for tucking away in a laptop case.

    I was surprised by how inexpensive CD drives are. Since CD drives did not come on the ASUS laptop, this was needed for some older software and picture cds.

    It looks like a plastic toy but it works great when your main DVD goes out. I love that it is thin, light weight and easy to carry or store. Great buy for occasional use.

    This drive doesn't compliment my hair, or make a good pot of coffee, but it does what it's supposed to do. But ever since installing, LG attempts to update my laptop EVERYDAY (whether I use the drive or not). Is LG really updating their driver software daily? Seems excessive... and annoying. I guess I would recommend the drive, as there is no other option at my local Best Buy.

    Excellent solution for a CD/DVD drive!! With more and more electronics not being shipped with CD/DVD drives, this is an out of the box solution that is a great substitute!

    This is a great dvd reader/writer for people on the go. Connecting directly to the computer instead of the wall outlet makes it great when you are on the move.
