My new laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive, so this LG solution was a perfect fit. I like the fact that there's no separate power cord - just plug it in to a USB port and go. Makes it easy to install new software, backup files, etc.
I bought this external drive about a year ago and by far the best feature about this drive is it's silence. Loading and ejecting discs is noisy, although it only lasts for one and a half seconds. However when it's playing back or burning a disc it is a very nice to be able to do so without the need for a headset. I've used other ODD's over the years, internal and external and by far this one has brought me the best enjoyment. It's also very sleek and modern in it's appearance and the slot-load design is a plus. I'm actually looking online for a bluray version (hence the late review) but sadly I haven't found that they've made one. MAKE IT NAOW! -But seriously, fantastic drive, very quiet operation, great design and slot-load; I couldn't ask for more in a DVD drive. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Since my new desktop Mac does not have an optical drive, I decided to add an external one for cd / dvd access. Not everything is downloadable online. The device worked perfectly out of the box by attaching to one of the Mac ports, sipped is great and functionally working as designed.
Seems decently made and it has worked great so far. prefer this design over pop out tray. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I bought an LG Gram laptop which doesn't have an internal cd/dvd drive because that's what makes this type laptop so lightweight. I searched for an LG external drive and found this one that's also light, not to mention very compact. It doesn't have a tray, you just slide the disk in and it moves back out. I really like this feature. Quiet too. Really nice external drive, highly recommend.
It burns at half the max speed of my older drive, but it is sleek looking and very quiet. No vibration at all. I think the slower speed may make the data transfer more reliable and maybe the drive will last longer too. I was starting to wonder if it does CD's because the box only talks about DVD's, but yes it does CD's too.
Bought this to replace a failed internal cd/dvd burner on an old Windows Vista desktop. So far works well. Like the slot-load design. No instructions so you may have to install through computer's control panel. Surprised with the media software suite included, but have not tried yet.
The computer will just stop seeing the drive in the middle of a read/write. My wife likes to listen to audio books while driving. Audible only lets you burn books to disk through iTunes which is a garbage piece of software in and of itself. About a fourth of the time my Windows 10 based computers will stop recognizing this drive and you have to shutdown the computer and start the burn all over again from the beginning. Audible will tell you with some basic math you can restart the burn after the last clean disk, but this has never worked for me. iTunes will skip all over the place when you try to burn the book starting where you left off. This is my second external LG drive (the other one is a different model) and I've had the same problem with both drives using different computers (all running Windows 10). Apple, LG, Audible, and the computer manufacturers all blame each other for the problem. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing either on the outside packaging nor inside mentioned that this wasn't compatible with the most up to date Mac OS. Confirmed by LG customer support when I had issues with running the firmware. Had to return.
I purchased this about a year ago and at first it worked great. Then I started watching DVDs from my local library or renting them from a place like Redbox. Many times the player would just tell me that the disc was not supported which was extremely annoying since I had an older computer that was able to play it with with very few problems. Then last night, I accidentally dropped the player and it did not work at all. I had a disc inside and was completely unable to eject it. When I went online, there was no user manual to help me trouble shoot. Very unhappy with this external DVD player/writer and will not be buying another!
