Excellent value for the money. Has been reliable.

I Love It and Now that I can Download Music CD's!!

I had an older Asus portable dvd player that still works well with computers but not with TVs. Also it requires 2 USB ports to function. Just purchased our first flat screen TVs and needed a dvd player that could be plugged in via the USB port. This LG player requires only 1 USB port to function and also works with all of our new TVs. Easy to switch it from computer to TV use and works well. Have not experienced any problems with playing audio CDs, dvds and data disks on a computer and dvds on the TV. Burning a disk is just as fast as the last internal drive I had. Have plugged it into 1 laptop and 2 desktop computers and it was recognized right away by each machine and burned data disks that work on other computers. Very light weight so easy to move around.

My wife and I each purchased new MacBook Pro laptops, neither of which have a built-in DVD/CD player. When we needed to play a DVD for a presentation we purchased the LG DVD/CD player to connect to the MacBook Pro and it worked flawlessly. The price was very reasonable and we now have a way to still use our laptops for DVDs and CDs. We had no trouble connecting the LG DVD/CD player to our MacBook Pros.

Great portable CD/DVD player. Slim and light enough to carry with your laptop or toolbag and fast enough to install software quickly.

I'm very pleased with my purchase of the LG - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/±R/-RAM/CD-RW Drive. I would certainly recommend this to anyone. Plus, you get free bonus software with your purchase - added bonus! I enjoy how quick everything runs on the external USB disc drive. The drive can have some noise, but for the most part it runs super smooth and does a great job. Personal note: I'd recommend getting a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 extender so you can move the disc drive around a bit more as the length of the cable supplied with the disc drive isn't super long.

It works well. I used it to load several older programs from CD/DVD to the new mini-desktop that lacks a CD/DVD media drive and played a few music CD's in the office. Very much a plug and play device, Windows ID'd the device without any special set up required and with the high speed USB connections these days the programs loaded really fast.

Gone are the days where every computer needed a disk drive to run games, media, burn and write. Computers today almost no longer come with drives anymore since storage and internet has taken over. I occasionally like to run old DVD and cd games I have saved from years ago, and also needed a drive to record and burn images and videos. I took a chance and bought this during a lighting deal and I'm so impressed. First, I was impressed with how light it is. It has a nice build quality feel to it. Has a smooth finish. It connects via USB. Running Windows 10 on my newly built computer, it detected it immediately. Within 10 seconds I was already watching a DVD movie and also playing old PC games. When done, I simply unplug, tuck the USB wire into a slot that tucks it away, and save it for later use. For the price, I highly recommend this!

I bought a gaming pc that didn't come with a internal dvd drive.I needed to get one for my pc, so I decided to purchase this LG external dvd drive. It was easy to setup and start using with no complications. This LG external dvd drive works the way it should and would definitely recommend for the price.

Works excellently. Plug and play when you need a drive. small and compact design is nice. easy to use.

Honestly really good. Easy to connect and does what i needed it to do. If you need a simple way to use old media/games on your computer this is a cheap and good option.

Great speed, easy to use and hook up, quality is good, not loud, no problems, definitely the best buy. Pun intended.

This item feels like cheap plastic but it has held up and been durable. Works flawlessly with plug and play and haven't had any issues yet. Only gripe is that it vibrates loudly but if you're listening with sound on, you won't notice.

I am very happy with this product. I and the wife each bought a new computer. Neither computer came with a disc drive but we have lots of software that is still on disc as well as music and photos. The external drive is convenient and quiet in operation. I still write DVDs to store photos from my hobby and this works great. I give this little external Disc Drive 5-Stars.

Quick and easy to use slim and convenient to take in my computer case for traveling

A cheap way to have a burner but without having to buy the most expensive laptop. Supposedly it works with most modern day TVs that has a USB port. It’s about the size of a dvd case and all as advertised. I paid 20$ after taxes using my member rewards so it’s an excellent choice.

Nice, compact, light weight, works good so far. easy to use

Extremely compact making it easy to transport. Super easy to connect and use with no external programs needed to install.

I bought this for my gaming PC because it did not come with a disc drive. This was a great price, and def something worth purchasing. I have ended up using it with my laptop as well, because it's compact and easy to take with you or move. I recommend!

Good DVD player/recorder and especially for the price. It does everything I needed to do
