    I purchase this item on June 2022 and around March 2023 it stopped working and I had to go to Best Buy for them to get the dvd out of the player. I wouldn't recommend this LG External USB 2.0 Double Layer DVD RW/Ram/ CD-RW Drive because the equipment stopped working. I was shipped a new DVD player after contacting LG. But, I haven't used the new device yet. It is still in the box.

    bought this item to replace a non-functioning drive in my computer. Now I can play DVDs and CD discs again. And burn CDs. It works as advertised. Very easy to install. No problems. I would recommend this item to anyone needing an external DVD- CD drive.

    I bought it for burning discs. It does work sometimes, but it also fails about 40% of the time so far. If you are going to be burning a lot, get something higher quality. As for watching dvds or something, can't say.
