Great Product to replace burned out drive on my laptop and write DVDs

The drive has worked great.

This is an excellent external drive

This is probably the best external CD/DVD drive I've used yet, and I've tried the Apple Mega disc drive thing,

The 'LG SuperMulti' replaced my not-so-old LACIE, which brings to mind -- why did I buy yet another Lacie gadget -- external hard-drives, etc, seems that they all went bad way before their time.

This is the only external drive I have which rips, burns and operates as well as any internal drive.

Old drive used to rip at 12-15x; when it broke I bought highly rated small one, terrible, burned at 3-4 times

Optical drives that come in laptops are NOT designed for heavy use and sure enough, the one in my Acer E5-575 started cutting scratches into discs.

Just "heavy" enough, and is as fast as my much more expensive Blu-ray internal drive

Nice external USB drive.

I had no idea something so solid was still being made, because Amazon cough cough seems to highlight cheap, low-quality USB drives

This drive is fast, quiet and fast

I bought this to use as an external drive since my laptop internal drive had broken

LG makes one of the best external drives on the market.

THIS DRIVE CONTAINS SILENT PLAY!This odious little piece of anti-consumer technology ostensibly enables a much quieter drive but in reality was primarily adopted as a firmware-based means of slowing down the speed of your drive when ripping music or movies

Do I recommend the drive

Completely blown-away with how well this drive works.

Never considered that the unit would be used for back up purposes as I purchased from Amazon a Seagate 3Tb USB external drive to cover the 512 Gb SSD drive and 2Tb hard drive installed in the computer

Confusing right?A little over two hours ago I set up the drive

For the most part, the drive has been reliable, working well with whatever media I throw at it (figuratively speaking, of course).The one downside is that it stutters a bit when ripping from CD-R media

The slim drives for me are awful

This LG drive is fast and, more importantly, extremely quiet

This is an excellent drive; fast, quiet, instantly functional in Linux (once you download the codecs and all that other jazz Linux requires), works great as an autoripper using handbrake for Kodi

Fortunately I had a few K Hypermedia CD-R disks that worked satisfactorily to make the system repair disk.

The M-disc compatibility was the big selling point for me, as I have had DVD-R media go bad, making discs with irreplaceable material unplayable

I purchased this hoping it would be a higher grade disc drive, and it did in fact read a critically important DVD-R that numerous other internal and external drives failed to read.

I didn't bother to install the DVD writer software provided as I have a favorite I always use.
