LG GSA-E60L 8X Slim DVD Burner

Easy to set up. Just plug in the USB cable and power cord and you're good to go, Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit will do the rest. If you're like some people who still use plain old Windows XP, need it You probably have a software/drivers CD (which came with mine, by the way, and I've never had to use that CD since). For me personally this is very important. . I can also boot my computer with this external drive. In order for it to boot your computer, you need to adjust the settings in

Pros
  • Build Quality
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Better discs available

I bought this drive (back in 2007 when it cost twice what it does now) to fix the flaws of the internal DVD drive I had in my old PC had. That is, the drive that came with the PC refused to load/read some burned CDs as well as some compressed DVDs. Thinking LG was the right choice, I bought this drive to access data and movies that my internal drive couldn't read. Installation was easy, plug and play. On the first try it couldn't read the same CDs as my other drive because I thought the CDs…

Pros
  • How everything still is
Cons
  • There are flaws

Works as expected: Optical drives

My old Lightscribe drive died and since I no longer upgrade my old computer I figured an external drive that connects via USB is what I need need. me until I invest in a more modern system in the future. My computer recognized it immediately, so playing and burning DVDs was a breeze. The now-dead drive doesn't talk to the new one (and the new drive doesn't come with LS software). data on your discs or look for third party software that will allow you to create legitimate LS labels. I went the…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Operating speed

Life is good with this DVD burner

What can I say? It burns DVDs fast and you can create labels with Lightscribe (requires Lightscribe DVD). Yes, it burns labels slowly, so don't expect to be putting out 100 DVDs a day on this thing. But buy 10 of these and you can do it. I underestimated its size. It's more than I thought. Too bad because I wanted to travel with him. Now I see that I need to invest in a more portable device. Please note that this is an external drive, not necessarily portable. It can be used as a portable one…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Minor problems

Poor quality and reliability

I received this about a week ago to create personalized DVDs for my family as Christmas gifts. The burner worked fine one day, but then wouldn't come on. Since I bought it from a reseller, the only option I had was to contact the manufacturer (LG). Of course they issue a return authorization so I can send it back for a replacement. However, that doesn't help me any further, because by the time I get a new one, Christmas will already be over. If I had bought it from a local store I could have…

Pros
  • A little above
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Great Product!: Computer Components

This external drive is AWESOME! So far there have been no problems with the drive. It burns fast and is very quiet. I bought this drive to replace the built in drive in my laptop and the fact that it is quiet is very important to me. My laptop's built-in drive wasn't of very good quality and tended to make either a clicking noise or a buzzing noise when reading the disc. Definitely not great if you're trying to watch a movie. LG's external drive is virtually silent. There were a few instances…

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • Definitely Bad Product

Easy setup - fast capture!

Works great! One of the fastest burners I've ever had and I've never burned a bad CD or DVD. Reading some of the other reviews I didn't install all the software - only Nero. You can download the Lightscribing software tools from [.] instead of using the junk on the installation CD. Works MUCH better and you don't have to worry about spyware and software you will most likely never use. Until I researched them in detail, I didn't know what "Lightscribe" was. I just thought it was a brand of…

Pros
  • Useful for other than its intended purpose
Cons
  • Requires socket
