Simple excellence .. still relevant in 2023
Just updated my desktop to brand new HP running Windows 11 Home. Love the new HP but it came without an optical drive … and maybe I’m old fashioned, but I still want one to load software/drivers and play dvds and music. This LG drive installed and operates flawlessly .. and the bundled software is excellent. Don’t hesitate with this one … easy buying decision … winner!

Ok if you don't want it to read CD's.
Works ok on DVD and Blu Ray. Have not been able to install any software from CD. All drive does is spin up and stop and repeat. All firmware is current.

Great quality hardware, mediocre software
Bought this product in January. It’s a little noisy when it winds up the disc but quickly quites back down as the Blu-ray plays along. Happy with the quality of the hardware, the software could use some work.

Very slim and easy setup
Nice product with easy setup and a nice suite of software. Initially it wouldnt play a Blu-Ray disk but after updating the software it played perfectly. The drive is also very quiet compared to others Ive used.

Xlent optical drive, wonky software
Drive quality seems good.
Software endlessly pushes ads to purchase upgrade
NOT! pleasant to use. Illogically put together. Sooooooo, you have to purchase different software. No longer a bargain...
