LG Electronics 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD+/-RW External Drive with M-DISC Support, Retail (Silver) GP60NS50

After many drives, this is the best, I had issues with the other ones including Apple drive.

Dropped my last one and tried to get LG Tech Support to help me replace it because it was still under warranty. Nope, tech support was less than helpful, so I just bought another. Great device since most laptops DO NOT HAVE CD/DVD players. Needed it to look at x-rays of a broken finger that may have been made worse by the hospital.

Works like it is supposed to. The DVD R/W in my Dell desktop was often failing and wasting disc blanks while trying to burn. This unit saved the day. Easy simple install - plug & play on a Windows 10 machine. Been very reliable, so far. My only glitch is since it is an external device that just sits on the surface, it slides a little too easy requiring you to possibly need to hold with both hands when loading or removing a disc. Very satisfied.

Sleeky looking, easy to use, and quickly recognized by my computer. I stopped using DVD for years since the era of clouding and streaming, and even USB becomes redundant. My parents got my a series of popular child program from Asia for my little one and l had to buy this in order to play it on TV. This is one of the feature that attracts me to use it on TV. It loads up properly and detected by my LG tv, but somehow the DVD was not playable, so not sure if its the disc or compatibility issue. It works flawlessly through my computer via HDMI connection. Overall happy with the product, not thrill with the outdated technology, and the TV function would be great if it works all the time.

This is a pretty good drive for the price. My Macbook pro reads it immediately after I plug it in. Ive used it to burn CDs and play games and so far I havent had any problems with them loading. Its also a plus that I didnt have to download any software for it to work. Its very lightweight and thin which I really like as its very portable, although I do think it can get a little noisy at times. The eject button occasionally doesnt work, but its not such a big deal as I just eject the content through my laptop. And speaking of the eject button, its thin and sometimes hard to press. Its a good and reliable alternative to the more pricey hard drives out in the market. It has its flaws, but it cant be beat for the price.

Works wonderfully for reading and writing CDs and DVDs. I mostly use it for watching DVDs and occasionally for reading or writing CDs, since my laptop doesnt have a built-in drive. Note that if youre running Windows 8 or 8.1, youll have to install some sort of DVD-playing program to watch DVDs on your computer (since Windows Media Player no longer plays DVDs for free in the newest version). I installed VLC media player for free and the drive now works perfectly for watching DVDs on my Dell. However, note that you will likely want to buy a case for this drive, unless you dont plan to take it outside of your home. I tried at first just to haul it around in the box it came in, but that proved bulky and impractical after a while, so I bought a case for traveling and the like.

The software seems to have loaded but it absolutely wont play a DVD, tried multiple disks. Error is above, there is not way to associate with an unknown app. Also, when using furnished software and selecting DVD player it returns the message that the function is not supported and one must buy software to play a DVD

Needed a CD reader to finish off ripping my CD collection. This disc reader/writer was cheap, Mac compatible and did the job. The only drawback is that it has a lot of vibration. Though it didnt impact the functionality.

This DVD drive worked perfectly with the plug and play aspect of the drive. Came with USB cable and Cyberlink Media Suite 10 for burning CD, DVD and playing CD. The only thing that it didnt come with was a DVD Player for playing DVDs, this was corrected by obtaining a Free DVD player software on the internet, this allowed for DVDs to be played and played very well. This was bought for friend with Windows 7 Starter OS, and small laptop he got from Verizon. I helped him set everything up, since he is disabled since he was 2 years old from being hit by car. This is perfect for him, and I am sure he will get good use out of it while he is in the hospital. Thanks LG for a quality product that I have given a 5 stars.

This was perfect for what I bought it for. I basically wanted to transfer some music I had on my computer to be played on a laptop at another location.
