Pros: Great

Cons: none that I know of.

Other Thoughts: I use this on laptops and even on many different Raspberry Pi.

Pros: Plug and play, no messing around to get it to work on a laptop with Win 10, 64 bit
Cheap, ~$18 from Newegg
Great bang for the buck
Light weight
No separate power supply needed

Cons: A little loud when running
Flimsy feeling

Other Thoughts: I'm happy I bought it. I don't need an optical drive very often and this is meets the occasional need for a little $$.

Pros: good for a price.

Cons: not much

Other Thoughts: recommend this product

Pros: I love how simplistic this device is, your mac will recognize it instantly and the read and write speeds are good for the price. You really notice no difference in quality in terms of clarity speed when you compare it to more expensive models. Great device.

Cons: Thin casing, device tends to move incrementally due to not enough weight (but who care's about that it works!)

Other Thoughts: Definite recommend, you can't beat the price

Pros: Does its job consistently and easy to use. Plays movies and runs data disks equally well. It has saved me a lot of time doing windows installs.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Does what its supposed to.

Pros: Just plug in and it works for my Windows 10 laptop.

Cons: Noisy when I installed MS Office, but not a problem.

Other Thoughts: I compared this LG model with newer LG models and saw no difference whatsoever in functionality and speeds. So I picked this lowest-priced LG one at the time of purchase. It works fine on my Windows 10 laptop.

Pros: Not much, pretty standard external DVD design

Cons: The drive is slow to read most media, seems like it is reading the same spot multiple times.

Pros: This drive worked great with my Asus Q502 with only one usb connection. Its extremely light and fairly quiet.

Cons: No cons as so far, but i will probably go ahead and order the usb Y power connector to make sure that the little guy is living up to his full potential. Its so light, it feels fragile, but thats straight up opinion and unfounded so far.

Other Thoughts: I ordered this yesterday and got it today, its like magic delivery. Newegg has apparently created a worm hole from their warehouse to my front door and lubricated it with unicorn tears. All Hail Newegg Processing and Delivery!!! I ordered parts from a competitor 8 days ago and still have not gotten them all.

Pros: Able to boot from my ODD less tablet / laptop hybrid and install Windows after botched job downgrading from Windows 10 beta trial.

Cons: None. It's perfect so far.

Other Thoughts: Quite a good deal. Gear gets ever cheaper. I don't think I'll ever need a second one of these. I got this to install an operating system into a computer without an ODD, and someday I'll probably dig it out to play video games that require a disc in the drive on ODD-less PCs and laptops.

Pros: small and light, no power cable needed

Cons: didn't work

Other Thoughts: Right out of the box it would not open. Eject command through windows and the button on the unit did nothing other than make the light come on for a second. Used the pinhole manual eject to get it open, but it didn't even recognize the disk that came with it. Tried it on three different computers. Same results. Returning right away to newegg...
