LG GP65NG60 Portable USB External DVD Burner and Drive (Gold)
works
Plug and play with Win10 worked great. Used it to install an old copy of Microsoft Office on my Mom's new laptop and it did it without a hitch.

Worked little
The days of fewer discs are here. Out of warranty, after less than 20 reads, this thing just started failing. Cleaning didn't help. Some discs it would read, others not. All retail made discs, no home backups were even tested. No more LG burners for me!

easy to handle
put a disc in and let it run, nothing else to do. But be aware that it might lock on the language of the discs you put in after 3 - 4 times

You Always Get What You Pay For
I tested this LG external DVD in three ways 1) watching a full length movie 2) burning a disc 3) opening a DVD with TIFF files. I bought this external drive because my 6 year old desktop internal DVD was slowing down and sometimes would not burn DVDs. Not sure the upgrade to LG made a lot of difference. It took 7 minutes to burn a 2.5GB dvd. It took 5 minutes to try to read the DVD with TIFF files but I finally gave up waiting. As for the movie, no issues. I expect if I'd paid more I would have gotten a more robust DVD with faster read/write speeds but this will do in a pinch.

not meet standard
when watching a movie, the computer would shut down on its own. Not bothered to return it.

iMac users don't buy!!!
No instructions for Mac user. The whole software and instructions are all geared for Windows. The 800 phone number mac users are to call for help, don't waste your time. Your computer will be out of date before they answer.

Works Like a Charm
I really missed the elimination of the built- in CD/DVD burner from the iMac. This little inexpensive accessory fixes that problem perfectly. I do hope that it proves to be durable too. It is very light and possible fragile. We shall see. In the meantime, I am very happy.

Works great-good price
Everything worked great to load CDs of applications on to my PC. No need for anything more robust or expensive.

Works great.
It is slim and doesn't take up much space on the desk. It seems to be pretty fast and works perfectly. Purchased for use is an Lenovo Flex 5.

very compact, looks good
This drive is surprisingly compact - the only downside to that is that the top seems slightly flimsy if pressing on it while pushing the disc tray in. The drive is quiet and works just fine.

Works for me, and inexpensive.
I'm using the LG GP65NB60 Portable USB External DVD Burner with a 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running High Sierra 10.13.3. I've successfully used this drive to rip several DVD movies to my computer, and also used the drive to burn a DVD. I bought this drive when the internal optical drive died (and of course Apple doesn't have parts for a computer this old). So far it works for me.

Does the job
What can I say, it worked out of the box. I bought this to load some older software on a new laptop and it worked without a hitch. The case feels like cheap plastic that may crack if subjected to abuse so I wouldn't consider for road warrior duty. For the occasional use, especially considering the price, go for it.

Works Great
I bought this drive when I decided to clean out all of my CDs and DVDs. I wanted to put everything on a hard drive. I ran this drive for hours on end over the course of three days, and the only problems I had were down to a few damaged CDs. The drive itself performed without issue.

Nice external drive
It works well with my MacBook Air right out of the box. No additional software needed. I would have liked it if it was USB 3 but USB 2 appears to work fine. I haven't had any problems.

External DVD Drive
The dvd drive arrived in 3 days. Even the snow and ice didn't stop the delivery from making the expected date. The dvd drive is light and all I had to do was plug it into my usb drive on the pc that didn't have a dvd drive and everything work fine.

Excellent
First of all this product is carefully pack in a box with protective foam around it to prevent damage. Nice! The Drive is made mostly of plastic - but for the price - what would one expect. More importantly it WORKS. It also comes with a USB cable and Instruction Disc - though I skipped the Disc and just plugged it in. Simple. Happy!

For the price, it's quite superb.
Very light and compact, power sipper, means it only needs 1 USB cable to connect to a PC/MAC and draws enough power from there without the need of an additional USB cable or a separate power hub. Fast read/write speed. Comes with good included burning software.

No Hassle.
The device was ready to be used right out of the box. Did not have to install any software. It comes with a CD containing some software. Did not have to use it. And it is compatible with Windows 10. Great job in making a copy of a DVD (personal DVD). Light and small does not take much space.Will recommend it.

Saved over fifty dollars with the LG product.
I was somewhat nervous about buying this product since I have a Mac. The customer representative assurred me it would be compatible. All I did is plug it into my laptop and it worked. Plus I saved over fifty dollars compared to the Apple price! Hurrah for B&H.

LG External DVD burner n player.
I got one of these from BnH at a very very decent price and it works just as good as my Apple one that I had a year ago and I mean just as good and operated the same, automatically. And the price was a huge huge difference from Apple.

Good quality at a very good price...
The performance of this drive is good. the only problem I have is that my HP notebook computer has only 1 USB port so I need to use a hub to connect multiple devices. I cannot use my wireless mouse and this CD drive because the computer doesn't have enough power to drive both. Larger more robust laptop computers would probably be fine.

Great Drive.
It does what it is supposed to do, very thin and I ripped about 55 disks and had no problems what so ever. Definitely worth the money.

Exactly What I Needed ......
So many laptops no longer come equipped with a CD-ROM tray, which is so disappointing. This external drive was exactly what I needed for those instances where I need to play or burn a CD or DVD. The price was perfect for me and I am more than satisfied with this unit!
