The unit works great for now. If I had this to do over, I would probably purchase a slot loading external dvd drive, the tray popping out is annoying. If you really have some money to throw around, get an external slot load Blu-Ray external drive.

This is an excellent external DVD driver. Only issue is, it is very slow when uploading and burning compared to a desk top. It takes at 2x to 3x as long. Other then that great little devise.

It is a lightweight unit that seems to perform well for now. Long term reliability will earn 5 stars, and so, to be determined. Otherwise, very good product and price. Do recommend purchase.

I was leery at first about buying an external read/write optical drive for my laptop when my internal, factory-installed drive gave up after nearly 10 years of service. But I'm glad I went ahead and got it because it does as well as (and maybe even better than) the internal drive. The laptop "saw" the drive almost right away. It took my DVD writing software a few tries before it also recognized the new drive, but once it did, I have had no problems at all. What I like most of all is how much quieter it is than the internal drive had been. It is also much slimmer, so it takes up much less room than I thought it would. It is also VERY quiet when burning a disk, and in most cases, if it weren't for the flashing LED light when it IS burning, I would hardly know it was running. Inserting a DVD disk (and it will accept just about all kinds) is as simple as snapping it into place on the spinner hub and then clicking the tray closed. When the burn is complete, the tray automatically opens for easy removal of the newly-minted DVD. And I do believe the video and sound quality come out even better with the LG drive.Read full review
