I bought this 4 years ago and it is still going strong. I got to a book study group that meets twice a year, 11 weeks at a time. I make myself a copy of everything I digitally record & make approximately 6 sets for other people, so about 80 cds twice a year. It is flawless in recording & playback.

works perfectly

It works fine with me. Slower than my oldest DVD drive but it's fine. But if you want to use it for your desktop Mac Pro it won't work, just with laptops. Although I found out how to make it work with my mac pro (you can find info on internet).

bought this to go in my ultrabook bag. when i had to disc copy dvds, i was missing usb3 speed. later, i will get a usb 3 version on sale.

small, light; i have used it to access and burn cds and dvds

will have to wait to see durability

I plug it in to my laptop and my laptop recognizes it but when I try to install it disconnects and reconnects and it goes crazy. my laptop recognizes it then it repeatedly re-recognizes it.

slim

not compadible with all laptops

Read/write speeds are faster on this external drive than my old laptop with an internal DVD drive. Very happy with the upgrade coming with a lower price point unit.

Very easy to hookup. No power cord, just a USB connection - an no drivers are required, either. I was able to use to install software successfully and with no problems on Windows 10.

My MacBook Pro doesn't have an internal CD/DVD drive, so I purchased this LG external drive. I used it daily for one year to watch DVDs. After about 6 months, I started getting error messages every time I would watch a DVD. Mac DVD Player would display: "Skipping over damaged area," then crash.

POS. Don't buy it. Many people say the same.

Small

Doesn't work with computer that I bought the same time at Memory Express

Good product. Works well with my Mac.
