    As the new iMac does not include a CD/DVD player, I had to buy an external unit. This LG is a rather flimsy piece of equipment that I fear will break every time I use it. However, it's done the job so far. Playback is fine, I've been able to burn music from iTunes, and the finished CDs sound fine. The unit also is quite noisy. But if you're just looking for a cheap, basic unit, it works.

    The drive works well for the low price paid. Much more convenient than replacing the dead internal drive in my old PC. Plus, I can attach it to my iMac as well. Also nice that you can detach it and throw it in a drawer when not needed. The only detractor is that due to the light weight, it walks across the desk when spinning at higher speeds.
