About this item
- The sleek looking slot drive loads discs with a simple glide thats fast and smooth compared to drives with a disc tray
- Give your ultrabook a companion that looks slick and works quick. 8x Portable DVD Rewriter with M-DISC
- The drive may get its power from the PC USB power. All systems may not meet USB power requirements and full performance may not be achieved. In this case, connect to the USB 2.0 Y type cable (not supplied).
- The M-DISC uses a patent rock-like recording surface instead of organic dye to etch your data onto a disc
- By removing the complexities of the disc tray weve simplified the drive to operate in tight spaces and run silently without needing to open or close

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As for reading and playing disks, we tried a variety of disks (recorded and pre-recorded), and so far all have inserted, played, and ejected as expected. Reading and playback have been flawless to date. To be fair, I have not yet had occasion to use disks in all supposedly compatible formats; however, for what we use/need, this drive fills the bill. Finally, while looks are not everything, this drive is sleek, and with a nice brushed nickel silver finish that is completely compatible with out laptop. Yes, it does come in other finishes, just be sure of the specific model/part number when ordering.
All this said, if you have one of the newer laptop computers which lack an optical drive, and you have a library of needed disks, then this LG unit is a viable solution, and its cost and reviews make it an easy choice.
For me, I have a previous one of these and bought a second one for my office computer, so I would not have to transport one. I believe the unit performs well and on a Windows 10 PC/Laptop they both do very well with no driver install or any issues. Just plug and Play. I hope this was helpful.
At my desk, I have a pull-out keyboard tray under the desk surface. My external Mac keyboard is tilted very slightly, and the thin, thin optical drive sits comfortably on the tray hinge, with its opening accessible to the left, and USB/power cord extending off to the right. Very convenient, and hidden when I don't need it.
Very happy with this drive. I've got it connected to my MacBook through a relatively long USB cable and a (powered) USB splitter. No problems at all reading CDs or DVDs.
