What customers say about "Key Specs"

LG GP60NS50 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD+/-RW External Drive

This thing has a faster write and read speed, a smaller form factor, and a far better price than Apple's external drive.
No muss or fuss, a well made, quiet DVD drive and for a killer price.
Very small and lightweight, works perfectly at the advertised speed. Much cheaper than the old days as well.
The DVD reader drive is plug-n-play! That it's installed, it's beautiful!
The drive is also extremely loud when it is reading a disk so if you are hoping to watch a movie while everyone else is sleeping, well the disk drive will wake them up with the noises it makes.

LG GP65NB60 Ultra Slim Portable CD/DVD Writer Drive

It has decent speeds and is a bit noisy but does the job.
It burns DVDs at very low speeds, making it work more and taking longer when burning discs, the quality of the burnt discs is great, videos are played in any device. Reads and writes very quick.
The read/write speed is very solid. I have had no software compatibility issues, and it's never given me a moment of trouble.
A little bit slow and often stops to buffer while playing a DVD . But you pay for what you get I got it for a very good price so not complaining
Bought this to burn some DVD+DL discs. Had to burn it at the LOWEST speed (3x). Any attempts to burn at any higher speeds FAILED.

What customers say about "Details"

LG GP60NS50 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD+/-RW External Drive

This unit is plug and play, meaning no setup is required.
I've been very happy with this external DVD player. I bought it since the new macbook pro's don't come with disk drives, and this has worked really well as a substitute.
The build quality is a bit light but I like that it works right out of the box without having to download any software or anything - just plug the sucker in and BOOM.
It is functional, and fast enough to install software from, and although it is better than other brands that I have tried.
Plays DVDs really well. It is pretty slim and portable, so it is easy to carry around. It also helps that it does not require an external AC adapter. Keeps everything compact.

LG GP65NB60 Ultra Slim Portable CD/DVD Writer Drive

Very light weight, all plastic, but works as expected. The power/connection cord is only 2 ft long. Might be short for some applications, but fine for most.
It is also a nice looking drive to have out. And no power cord needed (only USB) makes it very portable and easy to use.
This one writes all the different combinations of +- formats!
It only requires 1 USB for both power & data and doesn't need drivers installed once connected. True plug and play for both Windows and Mac OS.
I did notice that it's so light that when the tray opens, the unit moves (action - reaction). I solved that problem by gluing some cork sheeting to the bottom.
Tray is a bit flimsy when open (duh) and the eject button takes some reverse pressure applied to the back of the drive to function.

What customers say about "Reading/writing"

LG GP60NS50 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD+/-RW External Drive

Works Great with included cable for my laptop (Acer R3-131T) and reads both mini cd/dvd and standard sized cd/dvd.
This is a great external dvd player/recorder. It has a very good cd burn speed.
This is a great buy! Build quality may feel a bit flimsy, as it is mostly made of plastic, but the speed and convenience of this thing more than makes up for it.
It plays cd's and dvd's perfectly! The burn speed was faster than I expected. The build quality looks good and what you might expect from LG!
The long CDs rip well enough until the last song. Then, the drive fails.

LG GP65NB60 Ultra Slim Portable CD/DVD Writer Drive

If you just need something to read CDs or DVDs this is super easy to install and use. If you want to write DVDs or rip CDs, there is free software included that is easy to install & use
Works great. Computer recognized it instantly without a driver. It reads data as fast as I need, though I have not tried writing to CDs or DVDs.
Some people say that it may have less performance this way, but it is still faster than the DVD drive that came with my computer both reading from, and writing onto the disk.
Works great for the Surface Pro 4. Plug and play no issues. Reads CDs DVDs and writes CDs and DVDs.
A bit slow to read contents from optical disk.
