Questions & Answers

A sturdy base is provided, and the feet do not skid. It is steady as well as easy to load and unload. I also like how well it backs up my data.

You just need a long enough one.

How is this LG device powered? Does it have an external power supply or do I need to plug it in?

In order to power the unit, this attachment must be plugged into an AC wall outlet. This is provided for you. USB2 is the second generation of the USB. In addition, there is a requirement for a 0 cable The following is provided as well

How do I connect an AC adapter to this unit?

In short, yes. It is usually used in conjunction with a 120 Volt to 12 Volt DC converter. It is different, however, from other adapters I have received, there is a separate small package in the box that contains the blades that plug into the wall outlet, and the blades must be slid and locked into position

I am very happy with the DVD burner! As happy as I am with this equipment, I cannot express it enough
5/5

As soon as you lift it out of the box, you know you are holding a strong, well built piece of computing The installation took the better part of a minute and was up and running in no time at all. In the end, I did not bother to install the DVD writer software provided since I already have a favorite. Additionally, there are other packages included on the disc that you can use if you wish. You're ready to go the moment you plug your DVD burner into your computer if you already have burning software. As soon as I got up in the morning I burned a DVD. It is quite different from the DVD burner built into my computer which is the same speed. I burned my DVD in less than 4 minutes with the LG unit, whereas it took me up to 8 minutes with my computer DVD burner. The short of it is that I'm thrilled with my purchase!.

The whole thing is enormous, clunky, and wonderful
5/5

Over the past few months, I've gone through several slimline DVDs I remember the R drives from my youth. All of them There are times when discs will not be ejected. The discs finally failed to spin up to speed for all of them. A disc must be attached to the spindle with fiddling on all of them. You do not want to take this external drive with you when you go on a road trip. It is a full size external drive. The system should be on your desk, where it can be relied upon to perform well. There is a full tray on which you can put the darn disc. The program has not caused any problems for me. I have found it to be fast enough, never burns coasters, and always ejects when I tell it.

I liked this unit a lot! In order to add this drive to a new computer system, we ordered it
4/5

To be honest, although this new system did come with an upgraded Blue Ray burner/writer, I find that it is nearly suffer from Parkinson's Disease, which causes tremors and makes it difficult for me to move my hands easily. The BlueRay is mounted sideways, so any disc that needs to be inserted must be snapped in. This is about as difficult as it gets for me. Whenever a disk ends up on the floor, it always ends up there. As a result, I began researching external drives to find a solution. As soon as I knew what kind of drive I needed, I made my decision. Since I am a huge CD collector, I needed something to play the nearly 300 CDs I have accumulated. Also, you can rip a bit of music for your As I purchased from Amazon a Seagate 3Tb USB external drive to cover the 512 Gb SSD drive and 2Tb hard drive installed in the computer, I never considered that the unit would be used for backup purposes. Having spent a lot of time reading and researching the WEB and Amazon reviews, I was not pleased with the products I found. My eyes scanned all of them and I thought they looked fragile. I need something a bit more robust. In my case, I belong to a Computer Shopping outlet with no name and I checked them out, too. There is a shopping outlet that sends electronic mail We've sent you mail with a list of new matches you've recently looked at. Following my search, I came across this LG Multi drive. After reading the specs and reviews on that website, I decided to purchase it. I of course went to a few places since I'm a bargain hunter. My disappointment increased when I learned that the unit was backordered by all three The Amazon website was out of stock, but a shipment due on February 18th was expected to arrive in approximately 10 days. As a member of Amazon Prime, the shipping would be free despite the price not being the lowest around. My decision to purchase from Amazon was influenced by the expected shipping date as well as the shipping cost. A few days later, when I received the standard shipping notice, I was informed that 3 of the items would be shipped the same day as the drive. I figured it may have been backordered and did not think As soon as I received the shipping notice, I learned that the drive and 3 other items would arrive on the 15th of the month. Sunday, July 7th, was the day I ordered the items. I awoke to the sound of the mailman knocking at my door with an Amazon package yesterday the 9th. Based on the information I received, I assumed the other 4 items I ordered were defective. It will be opened today, Wednesday, the 10th, as I placed it on the entry table. It's a package from an aid who helps me around the house and she asked if she should open it and I told her she could. Upon opening the box, I found the LG drive, charging cables for my iPhone and iPad, a compact LED lamp as well as a blue tooth remote shutter release. I do not know how the computer gear arrived before all of the other It sounds a little confusing, doesn't it? My computer was only able to launch the drive a little over two hours ago. I saw a USB cable, an installation disk, and an AC power cord included in the box. I assumed the drive was totally USB. There is no alternative except to connect it to an AC power source. The fact that it's not mentioned in the description is not that big of a deal, but I double checked and could not find it. It's not a big deal at all. The USB cord was plugged in first and the power cord was plugged in second as instructed, and I immediately turned on the computer, and Windows 10 told me that a new device was connected. I clicked on the notification box, and the device was listed in my connected devices. As soon as I inserted the installation disk, Windows 10 released a notification which informed me that the software was ready for download and what I'd like to do next. Once the installation was complete, I sat back and watched the video. Here are some drivers, followed by some Cyber Link drivers, and finally LG drivers I think. It is bloated and, to boot, an older version of the Cyber Link. also received Cyber Links' newest software package with a Blue Ray player and found it to be bloated. There are many free DVD players available on the Internet, but you will need some kind of player software to play DVDs. Users of Apple computers will not need to download this program. honest, I'm not even sure that you need the software with the Windows 10 Media Player, but it's a good idea to As soon as this version of Cyber Link was installed, I uninstalled it immediately. It is with regret that I am writing such a lengthy In terms of the unit itself, it's very good. The newer hard drive is better than the old one. I read several reviews that said it was not too heavy, but it was heavy enough not to shift around as with other external drives. My unit does not have rubber feet, but it sits well on my desk no matter what I tilt it. Moreover, there are two buttons on the front and an ejection door that you can press. Furthermore, the external drive has a motorized insertion tray, which isn't found on most other drives. With the light on the front on, the drive motor ( a noisy one) starts spinning as soon as the door is opened. Just a listening CD so we could get a feel for the product. Moreover, it was recognized by iTunes, Windows 10 Player as well as the newer CyberLink iTunes became the default player once I chose it. It was an enjoyable experience all in all. The following reasons led me to give it a 4 Star rating. It was not stated that the AC cord should be used. A USB port may be a bit too power hungry for this drive's motor. Next you have the motor itself. It's a bit noisy, but not nearly as bad as it could be. I would also like to mention the inclusion of The answer doesn't seem to let you decide whether or not you want it. After the software is finished loading, it asks you to restart your computer. That's pretty standard until Windows tells you the software is still running and it cannot restart the computer. Any time you tell it to shut down, it automatically starts a fresh installation from the beginning that you will not be able to exit. Throughout the reinstallation process, you are given the option to overwrite the first installation of each file This is a very time-consuming and ridiculous task. The forced shutdown of Windows eventually resulted in a restart. Perhaps it was just a faulty disk that The drive is a must! I highly recommend it! I purchased the item at full retail price without any financial consideration, a discount, or a free product. The above review was written with no consideration, discount, or free product.

This is an excellent external drive that is fully compatible with Windows 10
5/5

CD/DVD burners are great devices! I love this external CD/DVD burner! Whenever I want to burn a CD or DVD it's fast, quiet, and burns every type I could possibly need. This was a plug and play device! I didn't have to install any software or drivers! I was worried about its compatibility with Windows 10, but it was a no-brainer! had to do was plug in the AC power and USB cable, and I was good I felt a bit squeamish at first, but my system software quickly recognized the device! In fact, the fact that it is relatively heavy actually helped me since it sits on my desktop tower and does not move when I use the eject button or close the disc drawer. The USB 2 that I used was the second generation. It achieved top burning speeds with the USB 0 port (as promised). Despite claiming to support HP's Lightscribe technology (listed on the box), it is a mystery as to whether the device actually supports it. I still have hundreds of Lightscribe CDs, so if this were possible with Lightscribe, I would have appreciated it It would be nice if such a software were included with the installation disc, but it doesn't exist. In any case, that functionality wasn't what I was expecting to see, but how nice it would have been! As far as the device goes, I love it!.

This is a better built option than most others available
4/5

The burner in this package is more substantial than the $30 wonders whose main advantage is that they can be carried around in your It may be larger and heavier, but it won't come to any harm if it winds up thrown on a crowded desk. With the common Cyberlink burning software, it is quite simple to make a decent copy as long as you use the slowest burning speed of 16X and utilize some of the cheaper CDs. In my opinion, I'd like to have the option of burning at 4x or 8x, but I'm probably in the smallest minority in this regard. Streaming becomes more popular as fewer and fewer companies manufacture and market optical drives. If you plan to buy an external drive soon, you should act.
