LG GP65NB60 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer Drive +/-RW External Drive with M-DISC Support - Black

I can't speak to this as a DVD player or a burner of any kind as I've only used it to rip CDs, but in that capacity, it's AWESOME. Streaming sucks. There, I said it. Price increase after price increase. Ads that get longer and longer. Songs/albums that were available yesterday are gone today. I decided "enough is enough". I have SO MUCH physical media (records and CDs), why not rip them?This drive arrived quickly, looks very nice, included a cable that was more than long enough, matches my laptop in finish perfectly (I got the silver drive and have a 7th gen Surface Laptop in titanium) and, most importantly, is FAST. Takes me an average of 2-3 minutes to rip an entire CD in high quality (320k). For setup, all I had to do was connect it to my laptop. No drivers to download, no software to install.As fast as this is, I'll have my entire CD collection ripped and copied to my phone in no time. Goodbye, Spotify/Prime/Pandora. Hello free, add free listening.

I needed something to read dvds on a newer laptop, and this LG USB DVD drive worked immediately. No setup needed but to plug it in and insert the disc. It looks great and easy to use. It is slim so it can fit in a laptop bag as well.

This thing still works to this day. Use too burn cds or watch movies on it.

I have a serious problem with LG. Neither LG or Verizon Wireless, the same cellphone carrier that my dad has been contracted with since about 2004. There was no communication from either company org to tell me or my dad that LG has ceased making phones, tablets, and who knows, what else more they do not make.Another problem is that, this external DVD player is the third DVD play I have bought going back to, I think, 2015. The problem that I am having is a worry. A worry that the DVD player will not function, soon, because of lack of updates. All computer equipment needs needs updates every so often for updates.Well, the problem with my phone had me worried, as well. (Oops, I was to buy a new phone, today and completely forgot. LOL) The reason why I need a new phone is because there was an LG update, sometime in the past up from about a year to a year and a half ago, according to Verizon tech support. Well, that update is the problem. It seems to be that LG in the update, removed all of their software and Verizon dumped their's in the phone. That new software is all that is running the phone.In the last three months, I have had two serious medical conditions. One of them being insomina and the so-called medical professionals are not really helping me. Because of this problem, I may have used the phone once, during that time. I was even forgetting to bring the phone with me to buy food from the store or a restaurant. Ya, fun times, you know what I mean? (LOL)So, I did not know there was any problems. Also, the problems with the phone became to be worse. Sometimes, I need to work the phone to get it off of the lock screen to restart (reboot) the phone, just to unlock the phone for usage. The phone is next to a paperweight.I am worried, now, about the DVD player. I am on number three, since about 2015, as I said, above. Well, I am not going to put myself in this situation with LG, again. No communication, at all, and my phone is next to junk. Also, the DVD player just activated for no reason when I was typing a document. I have no idea why the player did that. That has not happened since I bought it, back in 2020.A lot of you on here have great stories, about the player. So, do I. I highly recommend LG's products over any other brand. But after I am in knowledge of this, after all these years using their phones, going back to before 2015, I am just in shock. I thought they were not doing the new stupidity that Sony has been doing, since the year: 2000. I guess, many of us that thought that way, at some point in the last year and a half, are wrong, and that is not our fault.So, plain and simple, as of now, I am not playing any games. I just noticed that this player came out on Amazon before 2015. That means, it has been on the market for so long that, it could be dead as far as any tech support or updates.I am not happy about this, one bit. We need to find a reliable tech company. We thought that back in the 90's, that Panasonic and Sony were the way to go. But then their stuff was slowly disappearing, and rumors were abound that they were not making their VCRs and TVs. My old Sony from 98, it is not known whom built it. The computer in the TV when plugged into an old Dell laptop computer named a company of a Japanese firm, I had neve heard of. So, really, can we as people rely on a company to stick around and keep on making products that are good? I just really would like to rely on a company from a customer point of view, and have not been able to do that, in 22 years. BTW, I am only, just turned 43. Ya, time goes by fast. LOL

Using peizoelectric for the dielectric of supercapacitors is mine as well. Thinking crystal is good. As well as crystal antenna and theories of electrical transfer. Electricity and light transfer are chain reactions instead of passing through. Etc.

Still working after 6 years!If you can't get it to work with a newer mac and USB-3 to USB-C plugs don't work get yourself a "hub adapter".worked like a charm! It has to have enough power to play!

This is great for uploading softward to your computer. I have already used it to do so. I also uploaded music from CDs. It's perfect. I highly recommend this product. You just plug it in with the cable provided and away you go.
