  1. FormerLGfan

    The optical drive was awesome (compact size any easy to use) for one month, then it just stopped working. It won’t even turn on. Nothing happens when it is plugged into any computer. The computer doesn’t even recognize it is there.
    It only gets one star for ease of use, because not working impairs it’s ability to be used.
    Also, there doesn’t seem to be a “force open/ manual override” button, usually a tiny hole where you insert a pin, to retrieve a disk that might have been left in the drive.

  2. JamesK

    Worked as expected. There are many things you have to download initially but after that worked great for viewing a work disc and watching a movie.

  3. user756614

    This product was easy to use and set up. It is exactly what I was looking for.

  4. Jeff

    Works as advertised. A reliable device that has become a commodity at a reasonable price.

  5. PetraS

    Perfect little external CD Rom that connects via USB for all yiur needs when you need them! Happy with purchase!

  6. Donthaveanywewe

    It’s a great item but to be honest, I haven’t had the chance to look at it because been very busy packing my things because we are moving and selling the house.

  7. Sarah

    Got it to take stuff off of Google and make room / free up space. Even though you should always have a 2nd back up. Possibly get two.

  8. Joanne

    I can’t believe computers don’t come with these anymore. This is fine.

  9. Unknown

    Overall perfect!! Thanks for stocking everything I need! One stop shop!!

  10. Kodak49

    Excellent purchase at a good price! This unit works quickly and does not have as loud of fans as others.

  11. Johnathan

    Works just as described. Easy to use. Great value.

  12. Alexander

    Able to play CDs and burn them just fine. Need to install CD that comes with drive. Recommended.

  13. Unknown

    Great product. I can do all the things I used to do when I had a tower. I miss everything old, it worked longer and better.

  14. Quality

    This external DVD drive works great for laptops without an internal drive.

  15. Steve

  21. RomanG

    Well, I bought this thing on October 23 which is my birthday
    November 8 it’s actually stop working
    And I thought oh, not a problem I’m gonna return it
    But I getting in my Best Buy cabinet and found a notice no longer returnable before November 4
    I know I have beautiful piece of garbage nice

  22. JeannaC

    This unit is very easy to use. It is a plug and play unit. It is very quiet when running. No issues inserting/ejecting discs. First disc I put in was from 2006 with photos on it. They came up in a few seconds, and I was able to transfer some easily to my Mac. I could not have been happier since I had not seen contents of the disc for 17 years.

  23. Hitman

    I wish I would’ve gotten one that was a little faster but that’s my fault. This one works just as it should, and very easily able to be hooked into the computer.

  24. Mikeb

    Works simply, and perfectly. Just plug it into the computer, and it’s ready to go.

  25. DannyandKarin

    Unsure how well it worked. Bought 2 different DVD writers… cheaper one worked so well I just kept that one instead and returned this one.

  26. Unknown

    Bought since alot of computers do not come with them anymore and I like to have the option just in case. Works well, not to loud and works fast.

  27. momg

    great product glad we bought it to transfer our pictures

  28. AnitaS

    I had to replace my old Laptop and the New ones do not have DVD+RW/CD-RW Players. This is something that I do not use all the time, So being External, all I have to do is plug it in when I need it and it works perfectly.

  29. ldnash

    Just what I needed since they quit making computers & laptops without these.

  30. JamesJ

    Only works with windows 9 and under, a waste of money.

  31. Elove625

    I initially hesitated to purchase this device due to my reliance on iOS. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the CD-ROM seamlessly connected to my computer, dispelling my concerns. If I could, I would grant it an even higher rating if it were possible. I wholeheartedly urge everyone to invest in this exceptional item.

  32. MitchellH

    Operating like it should. Is compact and fast with the cd/dvd.

  33. Anna

    Decent product. I had some difficulty with the software running the machine but just uninstalled and reinstalled & whatever glitch happened fixed itself. For some reason to i can’t get it to burn disks. It reads & i can transfer from disk to my laptop but i can’t burn anything from my laptop.

  34. user370557

    Works decently. Software disc loading had too many $ upgrade options.

  35. MichaelK

    Works great, able to load large files for reading surgery cases

  36. JoseO

    Exactly what I needed.
    No program installation needed. Connects through USB on laptop.
    Plays all my dvd/cds without issue.

    Make sure you have some sort of media player on your device.

  37. LelandC

    I have had no problems. It works great. very easy touse.

  38. VojislavM

    Pretty good dvd reader, compact, setup is really easy.

  39. DavidK

    Couldent believe they had this and didnt want to wait for it to ship online thanks best buy

  40. NathanL

    It’s perfect. We had so many old images to load and save and this thing handled it like a champ!

  41. hpphoto

    the item suites my needs just fine, it is used for back up and loading while connected to my laptop

  42. JoanL

    Does what I needed it to do. Installed a shortcut without asking for permission.

  43. Korena1966

    I purchased it & tried to copy a disc and couldn’t get it to work. So it’s just “there” taking up space. I called to get help and they couldn’t give me much help on the customer service line.

  44. AaronB

    Gift for my son ti burn his music to cd. Works great

  45. DinoC

    Had to add an external CD/DVD drive since current laptops no longer include one. This LG unit as been running trouble free so far. Very easy plug-n-play and good data rates.

  46. AnthonyT

    Good product. Just plug in to install. Reads discs well. No problems so far.

  47. MitchellF

    Great product works well preforming like it should

  48. PhillipA

    Pretty hard to find a computer these days with the CD ROM drive, but I really needed one in a pinch for some legacy software at work. Every IT department needs one of these in their go bag.

  49. PatriciaS

    Did not realize it was so easy to input dvds into your hard drive. Works like a charm.

  50. Francisco

    Work great with my hp computer. And i was able play my dvd show.
