5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what was needed, August 5, 2009

By	Anona Mouse - See all my reviews

What I needed was an IDE internal DVD player with RW. Currently, most drives on the market are SATA. As this was to be placed in an existing external USB case, it had to be IDE.

This drive fit the bill exactly. I installed into the case and pluged it into the USB drive of a computer and it worked perfect. In a matter of minutes I was a happy camper.

It worked for me and I'm sure it will work for you.

Remember though, it's a raw dvd. No cables, rails, etc. Ask someone familiar with hardware if you are not sure of what you need or know how to install. It's easy, but you need to know what you are buying and how it is to be connected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Install...Great Performance, July 20, 2009

By	Keith Bryant (Webster, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased this drive as an upgrade for an older Compaq Presario running 512MB on a 2.5GHz Celeron system. First off, the installation was a breeze! Hardware install took all of 5 minutes and software install took another 10. The installation disc comes with some nice optional DVD editing software that I didn't get to test but looked fine for home use. The drive, itself, has a very fast access speed and smooth operation. The motor noise is only slightly higher than a standard CD rom. You can't beat this one for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Performance for Windows and Mac OSX, April 20, 2009

By	CBBenni (Smyrna, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an INTERNAL drive for reading and writing CDs and DVDs (including dual layer DVDs). It doesn't include any case, brackets, or cables. It's great for replacing or upgrading an existing drive.

I selected this model because it has excellent specs, including great speed and support for all the popular disc formats. It advertises Windows support, and comes with a Windows driver disk, but I use it in a Macintosh -- I replaced a Plextor PX-740A, which died with its boots on.

I put it in a Power Mac dual G5, running OSX 10.5.6, and it works great. It's quiet, functional, and very fast. Assuming good reliability (as is typical from LG) it's a great drive at a great price.

Important Note for Mac users: Remove the tray-front with the logos on it (it snaps on or off with finger pressure) so that the tray will smoothly open the flap.

The Mac install was typical, no drivers to fuss with, and the only tool required was a T-15 torx to move the spacers. It took me about 7 mins from shutdown until the new drive was reading and burning.
