Pros & Cons
Pros
It feels sturdy and well-made. Super de diddly duper price for product. It's very quiet. Nothing more to tell.
It works with laptops, desktops, and even some tablets. This broad compatibility ensures that i can use it with multiple devices without any compatibility issues. It has a long enough usb cord that you can set it next to the computer and eject the tra... Read More
Top-notch performance with fast and reliable data transfer speeds. Uses dbpoweramp for ripping and this device regularly outperforms my $90 apple superdrive, regularly getting verified reads on discs that superdrive rips insecurely. Works great, very ... Read More
I watched one of my favorite color dvd movies on it, to test it, it's fantastic. It does exactly as is stated. Do recommend it.
Cons
The manufacture feels amazingly cheap. The drive is light weight and flimsy. Returning this pathetic hunk of plastic right away.
Amazon wants it packed up and sent back to get refunded. Would not buy it again. Save your money and get something nicer. Don't need the aggravation.

This dvd drive is bare bones, for sure -- very small footprint, one light, one button, one cable, not much to it.
Price
This is an inexpensive solution to the computer manufactures who don't put optical drives in the pc's anymore.
I give it 4 stars because i doubt true audiophiles will be using this bargain external.
I would not have been surprised to have to pay $100 for a dvd drive, but this one was less than a good meal.
Can't beat it for the price point.
Shipping
The only thing i wasn't impressed with is that it took over two weeks to process my order, then it shipped to salt lake city, t... Read More
So the order took a full month to make it to me.
Competitiveness
They have scores of offerings and this is not the least expensive but lg is a well known brand and the performance is outstanding.
It also spins up faster than that dell.
