    5.0 out of 5 stars A non techie review.

    R.S. · 10 February 2019

    Faced with a malfunctioning cd/dvd drive on my home PC I looked for a standalone drive. I mainly use this to burn copies of my music on I Tunes for use in the car etc.There are too many companies selling these through Bolo all with excellent [or variable write ups] so the choice is a bit bewildering. I went for a name I know and thus a company that has a reputation behind it, hence the choice of LG.Having unpacked it and burnt some discs to it I can report its very good. It connected to my PC immediately with no drivers etc needed. It runs off the single usb port and needs no power supply beyond the usb [saves a plug and yet more cables]. Its burnt discs perfectly in good time and I`ve played back from same discs - all great. its quiet in operation and certainly quieter than my in built disc drive. It is definitely slimline so I guess that makes it good if you travel with it and a laptop. When you burn discs on I Tunes you've just to remember to select the LG - I`ve put a sticker on my drive to remind me which one it is.I`m no techie but simply plugging it in and playing is great - didn't read any instructions so even better. Good buy and no problems.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best DVD writer you can purchase for the price.

    N.L. · 12 May 2018

    Arrived well packaged, I have used this to burn most formats of disc media, ISO, DVD, CD-R, CD-RW it has up until now worked perfectly, every disc is written reasonably quickly, CD-R's tend to be a little loud when burning but beyond that no issues. The DVD writer itself comes with a free copy of CYBERLINK MEDIA SUITE. which is a free burning program (I haven't used it as I have no need) but it can be mounted from the writer itself. I haven't played a DVD or CD from the writer so can't comment on that.I would recommend this product, don't be fooled by cheaper models from brands you haven't heard of, ALWAYS pay extra for a reputable brand when it comes to electronics, especially temperamental electronics like DVD writers. The components used inside do not appear to be reused (as is the case with many cheaper models). Even at a little extra cost, it's still cheap enough to not worry too much. Oh and it looks smart enough (I paid a little more for the black model). To answer any other questions anyone may have, yes it is a single cable, it's a little thicker than standard data transfer cables but the writer uses it for both power and data transfer.NOTE: There is an initial driver install, it's very quick and hassle free, but if you are looking for a model to plug into a broken system and mount a file (operating system), I'm not sure this model will work without an initial driver install into your OS system, and if it's your OS you're looking to fix out of the box, it may not work so be warned on that front.Other than that, this is a fantastic DVD writer, the best you will get bar paying 6x the amount for a Samsung or industrial writer.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great but slow

    It works fine but it can be a bit slow to read some times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and highly recommended.

    My new laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD writer which is the price you pay for portability and needed to burn some CD's so looked into a USB CD/DVD writer.The first one ordered was from a brand that I was unfamiliar with, for a reasonable price and was terrible! It never even completely wrote one CD or DVD from new, so decided to go with a more recognised brand.The good============================This drive is fantastic! It's very light and portable so easy to carry with you, should you need.Setup was easy and basically involved plugging it into the USB port, so no extra power source needed.Used it to write a number of CD/DVDs and it hasn't failed once.The speed is great.Very reasonably priced.the bad==============================The drive does get a little loud, but again more soundproofing would mean a larger size which would reduce portability somewhat.the ugly==============================Again a trade of for portability but you have to be gentle when putting in or taking out a disc and the tray does feel like it could break easily with little force.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Worked OK for a few months, is now not reading discs and no way to return - avoid

    T.E. · 13 March 2021

    This product started off OK and now after 6 months is dead. It seemed easy to use and worked without issue on both Mac and Windows. It does feel flimsy though. After 6 months however it has stopped reading discs properly. As it gets towards the end of an audio CD (so the outer edge) it errors an misreads. I'm very disappointed that there appears to be no way to return it as the "return window" has closed? What happened to 12 month warranties here? Will think twice before buying anything like this again. Off to the bin it goes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good overall

    J.E.W. · 12 August 2018

    Very good product overall,very clean and professional looking, extremely easy to use.This is the first time I’ve ever purchased anything like this, and really have no clue when it comes to technology so was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to use. Instructions included are simple to understand, works pretty much straight out the box.Does feel very light and doesn’t feel like it would withstand a beating. Am being very careful not to drop or knock it as feels like it would break if that happened, which is hard in a family environment.Did burn my CDs and enabled me to download content from disks to my computer. Have but content into disks successfully also.Haven’t tried watched any dvds though as my hp laptop doesn’t have any software to play dvds as of yet.Overall good value and pleased with it. Would buy again and would recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Completely different league to the cheaper nastier ones on Amazon

    A.W. · 4 October 2024

    Don't bother buying the cheap non branded or never heard of that brand before DVDs players on Bolo for £12-£19. I've gone through them all, and had to send multiple funny branded ones back that struggle to even load let alone read my DVD. A fleck of dust and they stalled.This unit is a Rolls Royce by comparison. I've paid more for it but it's miles better, easy and firm loading, nice strong motor and reads and loads every disc without wasting my time having to re-inserting it or polishing the disc and keep retrying like the cheaper crappier ones.It's amazing and I won't buy anything else in future.

    Muy huen fjbcionamiento

    Nice and easy: top player!

    F.K. · 4 December 2023

    This player is really "plug and play"; with only one usb connection in use, I insert the cd or dvd, and my laptop immediately asks for the preferred program to play, and that's all to have a joyous watch or listening experience. I have it work on Windows11 and the VLC - or Windows Media Player. Top product!

    Très bon produit, bon rapport qualité/prix, joli design, fonctionnelle, simple d'emploi, je recommande.

    Great portable external drive

    K.C. · 4 September 2018

    This is a compact detachable CD/DVD drive/burner. I have not used it for burning, just for installations from CD's. Easy to use, small size, powered from the USB port. Works great!

    Pratico e efficace.

    F.B. · 23 March 2019

    Ho acquistato questo lettore/masterizzatore esterno per affiancarlo ad un LENOVO Mini PC ThinkCentre e ne ho avuto subito una buona impressione.Per me era essenziale che entrambi fossero facilmente ovunque trasportabili ma anche utilizzabili.L'unità ottica si presenta leggera ma compatta, plastica sì ma di buona robustezza.Si collega con un cavo USB (che forse poteva essere più lungo) e si avvia subito il processo di autoinstallazione.Estremamente versatile riproduce e masterizza ogni tipo di cd/dvd. Nella confezione è presente il cd del software CyberLink Media Suite 10 anche se consiglio di procurarvi, per aumentare la gamma di opzioni fruibili, un buon programma di masterizzazione.Questo lettore/masterizzatore è veloce, sia in riproduzione che in scrittura, e abbastanza silenzioso se comparato con quelli interni, la cui rumorosità viene attenuata dal pc case.LG ha creato un prodotto onesto, pratico, efficace ed estremamente comodo se intendete portarvelo dietro.Vi consiglio comunque la consueta cura nel maneggiarlo.Nel caso remoto che abbiate problemi a estrarre il cd/dvd è presente, sul frontale, il piccolo foro di "apertura di emergenza" dentro il quale dovrete inserire e spingere uno spillo o qualcosa di simile.Per ciò che riguarda l'utilizzo in coppia con uno smart TV consiglio di non sperarci troppo; troppe le possibili variabili di incompatibilità. Certo siete liberi di tentare ma forse il vostro smart TV si merità un lettore più adeguato alle sue prestazioni.Il mio giudizio finale, comprensivo dell'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, non può che essere molto positivo.
