You might not know it from looking at this DVD drive's sleek, slim exterior, but it's loaded with capabilities. LG's external CD- and DVD-burner looks great, and works in four unique formats. Super-multi read-and-write lets you select your style for maximum performance, while the USB connection means there's no need for an AC adapter.

MacBook with Snow Leopard working perfectly with free software Jan 20, 2010
By L. Gildart I bought this drive specifically for use with one of my Windows-based pcs. It works great with that, which I expected, and the windows software that comes with the drive is also wonderful and most welcome.
I did not, however, expect that it would work with my Macbook 1.83 gHz Core2 Duo. My internal optical drive is dying, and while it's pretty easy to use a network drive for installs and stuff, it's definitely not as convenient to go back and forth to the other desk. The documentation and all but one of the reviews were pretty clear that this was not a Mac-friendly product, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Mighty MacBook jumped right on playing the music cd in the drive.
I was even MORE surprised when it burned a DVD under the native/finder/disk burning application (no third party software involved at all).
And I was elated to learn that LightScribe had free downloads for the Mac, but I didn't really expect them to work in Snow Leopard.
But they do. AND it plays movies in the DVD player software. I don't know for certain whether my version of dvd player is the one that shipped with my macbook, or whether it's something that was bundled with my snow leopard disk, but movies open right up - impressively fast, as a matter of fact.

If you searched for a Blu-Ray External on google and this pulled up as the number one choice WATCH OUT!!! This is not the LG HD DVD and Blu Ray player that is advertised. I was tricked by google and bought a 60 dollar useless cd drive. Watch out!!!

Does not work with blu-ray as per my search which turned this up as an option. It does work great for all other dvd's. My fault for not ready the fine print.

Stopped working after 50 burns. Jul 19, 2010
By J. Wright I use this product once a year, when burning DVD Yearbooks for my class. After about 40-50 burns, the item here stopped working. It was fine while it lasted, but when I pay $100, I expect a bit more longevity out of my products. I will not buy from LG again.

Great Product! Aug 08, 2010
By katie This is a super-fast, easy to install CD/DVD burner that is so small! It is slim and about the size of a book. Burns DVDs quick and easy, also has the terrific lightscribe feature!
