LG GP65NW60 Portable USB External DVD Burner and Drive (White)
Very nice add-on for ASUS Vivomini
Great addition for the ASUS Vivomini computer. Almost the exact size of the ASUS and could be velcroed easily to the top of the ASUS.

Worked as exepcted
Got this to use with my Mac Book Pro. Have only used it twice to upload some programs from disks to my HD. Was simple to plug in and use as any USB device is. It is a very light and feels not too rugged and I'm sure if it was dropped or sat on it would break very easy. But I figured that would be the case for the price.

No problems yet
I have used this product extensively to transfer files from one computer to another and so far no dropouts. I wish it could be faster but for the price I am satisfied.

A Very Good Value for the Money
I bought this drive to rescue myself from an ailing DVD drive that was installed in an old machine running XP service pack 2. It worked right out of the box and allowed me to install some software I needed when my old drive would not even recognize that there was a disk in it. The portability aspect of it is also very appealing.

Perfect for computer and tv hook-up
I bought this to watch home movies on disks on my macbook pro (the newer version that doesn't have a disk drive). I didn't realize this product worked on tv's as well so now my roommate and I don't have to buy a DVD player! Super cheap (compared to others on the market) and works with a super clear picture!

Great external CD/DVD drive.
I have hundreds of CD's I'm downloading to the my iTunes and hard drive. I have an HP All-In-One PC which has the DVD/CD drive on the right side of the monitor. For me it's more convenient having the DVD/CD drive on the desktop. The only negative is the supplied USB cable is only 2 feet long and I had to use a 3 foot cable which I already owned.

Worked for 6 Months, Then Died
I bought this for my wife, who needed an optical drive after she got a new MacBook Pro. On the plus side, it worked without a hitch right out of the box, but despite only occasional use in six months and reasonable care, this writer now just clicks and makes noises. Sadly, it's not heavy enough to be a paperweight and not absorbent enough to be a coaster, so I guess it's going into the trash.

compact and light
Extremely lightweight and portable. this may be a downside if using in a desktop situation. so far works well and reliably.

For This Price It's a No-Brainer
This external drive does it all very well and at an unbeatable price. Quality is what I expect of LG. The only small quibble I have is that the included software works fine, but contains a few too many sub programs that add a bit of bloat to my computer. I guess that's a small price to pay for a light, inexpensive, high quality burner drive.

Great product, would buy again in a heartbeat.
My Apple external DVD Burner died after no more than two hours total time. A lot of money for the bitten apple. This GP65NS60 worked right out of the box, and now has more total time on it than my Apple player.

Does the Job
Does the job...copying my CDs to my internal drive. It's rather delicate, almost flimsy, CD drawer - feels like it may snap when handling it. Instructions are for Windows only, and sparse. Otherwise, it's doing the job I need it to do.

Used to burn DVD & play a DVD movie
I've used this burner/player to burn a DVD and play two DVD movies. The burner worked well, though a bit slow. One of the movie DVD was defective and stopped after about fifteen(15) minutes. The other played well. I tried the defective DVD on a desktop burner; with a few minor skips, it played. I assume it is the nature of the portable player - nature of the beast - that it would not play the defective movie DVD. May be stability or operation?

External Drive
I bought this to be able to play some of my dvd's. It has been perfect for me. Small, easy to use, great price, looks nice too.

OOPS had to return this.
I am sure this works fine. I returned it when I found out that my 2 in 1 with windows 10 would not play DVDs. Win 10 does not have a native DVD component. (AAARGH) Probably need an AP. It can be used for storage. p.s. I am not much of a win 10 user. My software and I are grounded in win 7.

Does what it's supposed to...
We needed a drive to load homeschool materials on our kids computers. The drive is a bit finicky with certain disks, even new ones, but it worked fine for our purposes.

A Necessary Part of my Computer Gear
Call me a dinosaur but in these days of thinner laptops and tablets, I miss the CD/DVD drive. I still use CD's for music and information, and my laptop (among other faults) has no drive. This little beauty solves the problem. Easy to install, small enough to fit in a pocket much less a computer bag or a suitcase, it is a problem solver. I don't use it all the time - but when I do it's there, it works, and I can depend on it. Price is more than fair, I have received more in value of service than I paid for it many times over.

Very small, slim package and it works
I use this optical drive as an adjunct to a small Lenovo laptop which does not have one. Takes up almost no space in the computer case and is so light you won't notice it's there.

Really Good Burner
I actually own an LG burner (desktop external) and it's worked perfectly, but I was looking for one that's small, and I can throw into my bag, because since I DJ with my tablet, it doesn't have a burner, and lately I've been having a lot of independent artists come to me with music on CD and this has gotten the job done. I've been asked to burn a quick CD or my love mixing and again, has worked out perfectly! No issues what-so-ever.

Great CD/DVD Drive
This drive is well-built and easy to operate. The built-in driver installs directly on both Mac and PC computers with no separate software. Great product.

So far, this product has been very good.
I plugged it into my new iMac computer and it worked right away. No need to even load a driver. The drive is compact and portable.

Works just fine
I can watch a DVD on my laptop with no difficulty Burning a new DVD is problematic, but it may be user error since there are no clear instructions The price was right and I expect this drive to operate so long as it is handled gently The other reviews helped me in making this choice.

Works as advertised
Bought to use with a new 27 5K iMac also purchased from B & H. Less than half the price of the Apple Super Drive. Plugged in via USB and it worked flawlessly. Finish is slightly different than iMac but I don't leave out on desk when not in use. I am very satisfied with this product.

Just what I needed
The SuperDrive in my PowerBook pro quit so I added this drive to an order in progress - glad I did! I plugged it in and was good to go. Great price, very satisfied.

Perfect for the job
This external DVD drive is the best I have come across. The price is cool and it does a fantastic job. It burns DVD/CD very fast and it's very silent in the process. I will recommend this to everyone.
