Works Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this device. It's a plug and play drive. Excellent software for playing Blu-ray discs.

Deceptive description about Mdisk
This drive is useless for me I bought this DVD drive because it claimed MDisk and Blu-ray support.
It does not work for either one. After calling LG support, I was told it only works for a 4.7GB disk made by one manufacturer only. They should have clarified in the Ad. I wasted several days trying to make it work with 25GB Mdisks and Blu ray disks. I will avoid buying a...

Disappointed
I have not found a means of saving content of disk from this drive to my computer (also brand new, top quality but with no optical drive) - this was one of the main reasons for purchase. Also it seems that only disks of 8x are compatible with the drive - it never occurred to me prior to purchase to check this ability - I've never previously had an optical drive with tha...

Just Clicks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box - brand new and totally useless. It just clicks and clicks and does nothing. LG is a great brand but this product needs to be taken off the shelves and completely redone by the look of the rest of the reviews. I'll be exchanging this for the cheaper product. Please have your quality team investigate this...

Stopped after using several times
Since I only use an external CD/DVD drive occasionally, one would hope it would work consistently. It's a roll of the dice whether it will read a disc or not. You get what you pay for.

Light Weight
I like the ease of this computer, but to be honest I thought this had a touch screen. That was totally my fault for letting my husband buy it. However it is nice and light, it seems to work well but I guess I will know it time.

Excellent Burner for the cost
I bought this 4 years ago and it is still going strong. I got to a book study group that meets twice a year, 11 weeks at a time. I make myself a copy of everything I digitally record & make approximately 6 sets for other people, so about 80 cds twice a year. It is flawless in recording & playback.

Works flawlessly, good value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased an iMac 27" and happen to need a CD/DVD drive for occasional use. This GP60 works well with the mac running Mac OS 10.13.5 (High Sierra). No drivers or other software needed.
In my config, I have the GP60 connected through an AnkerAnker 7-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub (model AK-68ANHUB-BV7A). I have ...

Works With Mac High Sierra - Not Sierra
Having upgraded to High Sierra - it works!
Else-wise, using virtual machine on my Mac was the way to go prior to this upgrade

Horrible hardware
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If there was an option to give it 0 stars I would. Since I have bought this, I could only use it once without errors. It spins and spins, the computer recognizes it for 30 seconds then disconnects. What a complete horrible product..... will never buy LG again. If they can't get a dimple dvd writer to work, what will th...

Died After 6 Months
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my wife, who needed an optical drive after she got a new MacBook Pro. Despite only occasional use and reasonable care, the LG just clicks and makes noises.

Not heavy enough for a paperweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't get it to work with my Windows 10 machine. I've tried restarting and using different apps, but nothing. It makes a lot of noise like it's trying really hard, though. So I guess D for effort? Should have read the reviews before I purchased.

Won't play DVD' tried different drivers. Junk
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well the title explains everything. Spent a few hours trying to figure it out and no luck. Will be returning it hoping the computer store will take it back as I bought it to play DVD's.

Amazing Device for the Price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drive is powerful, fast and rugged! It's outlasted so called bargain deals that ended up corrupting Audio/Video libraries. TWICE! But every time I switched back to GP60NB50 without any problems.
