Customer Ratings & Reviews

It does the job! I was looking for a way to play my DVDs on my Windows 11 laptop and it is awesome. It isn't as modern-looking as other more expensive options; it's plastic/more retro-looking, like when DVDs were actually a popular thing which is kind of cool. It comes with a DVD that has media player software to download but it is insanely old and you have to pay to use it which was a hard pass so I just threw that away. I downloaded a free media player online instead called VLC which works perfectly with it to play both DVDs and CDs.

The downside: it is very lightweight and occasionally when ejecting a CD it has sort of projected itself off my desk. The was easily remedied by placing something with some weight behind it. The upside: it is so much faster than the CD unit in my iMac. It was ‘plug & play’ with my MacBook so installation took seconds. The speed of burning CDs and the budget-friendly price makes it a solid choice in my opinion.

Bought because new laptop came without CD player. Have used it so far to load software from CD. Works well as I expected. Looks good, compact and priced well. Only negative is that it is a bit noisy. I knew that going in since numerous other reviews mentioned the noise. When you are just loading data, it really doesn't matter. I haven't played a movie or music, but I don't think it is loud enough to interfere.

The disc drive was packaged well. It is slim and compact which works great for those with limited space (living in small rooms with or without roommates), no desk even! The tray can work for many CDs (Data, Audio), DVDs. Buttons make sense and it's easy to set up with the wires, attachments. The Instruction manual text is easy to read and the aforementioned instructions made sense.

I used this to convert my old CD’s to iTunes. It worked well for this purpose. It did take longer to download the music from the CD’s than I expected. On average it took 20-30 seconds per song. If I purchased a more expensive unit it probably would have cut the time in half, but the other drives I saw were twice the price. I think this drive was good for the value.

I bought two dvd readers for mac book use, The Apple reader was limited only to Mac or at least advisable toninly use w a Mac- this one is lightweight and straightforward use- no glitches in reading my home burned dvd’s really good value

Works great and looks good. However wish it was a little bit quieter and that the software to use the drive/play DVDs didn't require an user registration.

Needed an external drive for a laptop that didn't have a built-in drive. This does the trick; it's fast and lightweight so you don't care about bringing it in the case with the laptop. The outer case feels quite flimsy, though, so I'm concerned about durability.

Very compact and lightweight. Performs as advertised. I was hoping for a more solid case, but the trade off is the light weight. I bought this unit as a companion to a new Dell laptop I bought and really just needed it to install some productivity software I had on discs. Bought it on sale so the value was right!

I needed a really simple easy to use DVD drive for my Intel NUC PC so I decided to try this LG USB drive. I just plugged it into an open USB slot, Windows 10 found the correct driver and it was ready to go in no time at all. I've used it for CD's and DVD's and it works great. Very compact and USB powered so no wall wart needed. I knocked off one star because it doesn't always seem to read at the highest speed specified by LG and it's only USB 2.0. But for the price that's understandable. Otherwise a good simple USB drive.

It s easy to use and does a great job. The case is lightweight and will not take much hard treatment.

What do you expect from a device like this? I expect it to be easy to transport, burn and play media , and not direct attention to itself. The LG does the job nicely. The only reason for not achieving 5 stars is I wish it were more robust since it goes in and out of my messenger bag.

works so far so good, just little noisy. But easy to use, plug in and play.

It is fast and the design is also very sleek. Good quality material makes it worth buying at the price offered

It works well and was affordable. But it is a little noisy.

Perfect device for my needs. The best part is it's size and It's fast enough to do what I need it to do.

The LG external DVD was simple to install and easy to use. It can burn cds or dvds. It is needed with most newer laptops as they no longer come with a dvd drive.

Works great!!! Just plugged it in to my computer ( As already have a internal drive, but hard to put the disk in.) and started using it. very easy to load the disk (remember to push down on the case so won't slip while loading the disk). Thank you Best By, Michael

As a pc owner I certainly dont burn cd's or dvd's hardly anymore mostly due to everything is going to cloud based storage and streaming but I still need something to play what disc media I still have and my other one finally wore out. This device works just fine.

Have only used a few times so far but it seems to be good quality and easy to use. Four stars because, as others said, it does seem flimsy since it’s very light. Just hope it does the job and lasts, that’s what matters.
