About LG Optical Drive

FEATURED REVIEWS

This is a FANTASTIC external drive!

By TaaDow

I bought this drive brand new on eBay at 50% of the full retail price. Talk about a steal! This drive will easily and quietly handle ALL your reading and writing needs! It requires two USB ports to fully operate so you'll need two open ports preferably side by side due to the included cable. That could be an issue for those who have devices with a lack of enough ports. I'm glad the drive is powered this way to avoid a wall wart AC adapter. Highly recommended!

Simple excellence .. still relevant in 2023

Love the new HP but it came without an optical drive ? and maybe I?m old fashioned, but I still want one to load software/drivers and play dvds and music. This LG drive installed and operates flawlessly .. and the bundled software is excellent. Don?t hesitate with this one ? easy buying decision ? winner!
