Superb Device
A neighbor (a retired IT Specialist) recommended this device. The unit works really well and provides many nice features. The purchase point on the device was super attractive also.

Not reliable
I bought this writer a few years ago. Used it a couple of times to listen to music from my CDs. Never burned with it. It was on the shelf until today, I tried to listen to one of the CDs and it doesn't work at all.
I really surprised. Using for years different electronic products by LG and trusting the quality, I really surprised.

Works with Linux, with the right software
Specifications say this drive requires Windows or Mac OS X, but I find it is compatible with Linux (Linux Mint 20.2). It will play audio CDs (with Rhythmbox), movie DVDs (with Celluloid), and burn CD-R and DVD-R (with kb3). But be careful which software you use for burning: brasero was unacceptably slow. Like many DVD drives today, the disk drawer does not open fully en...

Decent So Far
I have owned this for a few years now. I received it as a gift. I've only used it a handful of times but, it worked just fine. It will read discs that the internal drive (same brand) in my desktop will not. That has been its primary use -- to serve as a backup when my primary drive doesn't function properly which, happens far too frequently.

Good CD player
I've only recently purchased but has worked as I have expected. It is a nice, compact player. I have yet to try to burn anything.

Used once and now it doesn't work at all.
I bought this DVD Writer from Amazon on February 24, 2018.
When I got it, I plugged it in and tested it. It read a CD and it wrote a CD with no issues.
I put it into a drawer and it just sat there for the past year and a half.
Today I took it out to use it and it does not work. I plug it in and nothing happens. I tried it on 2 Desktops and 2 Laptops.

doesn't work
I bought this when I bought my new windows 10 computer. Plugged it in, and it doesn't play the DVD. No directions, no support. So I have no idea why I can't watch the movie. I loaded the Cyberlink software it comes with, which so far seems like it's pointless and unrelated to this DVD player. No way to play DVD's with the software that it comes with.

Windows 10 Burning Problems!
This is less of a review, and more of a guide. If you're not able to burn a disc on Windows 10 ensure that you're connecting to a USB 2.0 (not 3.0) port on your computer. It would seem the device doesn't support USB 3.0 for writing purposes (reads are fine though).

A good tool
I bought this to play videos on my computer and it works great. It also shows that it can be used with a TV but I found only for digital video like MP4s, not DVDs. Not a problem for me but the documentation was not clear.

GP65NS60 External DVD Drive
Bought this about a month ago when I upgraded my computer and it did not have DVD capability which I need. The GP65NS60 is small and compact, runs quietly, does what it is supposed to do and meets my needs. It was plug and play on my IMAC and has performed flawlessly. A very good product.

Good product
The product works great on my Mac computer, but it's a little bit difficult to use with my Microsoft surface laptop. I'll have to download software in order to for the computer to recognize the DVD player. I wish the DVD player came with software that would've made this whole process a lot more simple.

great but there is a problem
for me it works but it sometimes skips files on a disc i think it may be because jamless play is also affecting data discs if there is a way to fix this i will give 5 stars

Easy to use, well worth the cost.
I've been using the DVD writer extensively and have had no issues with it. The data is easily collected, burned to disc and is compatible with all other DVD's I currently use with my computer. Excellent product.
