Question: Is this a good purchase if I want to use it for lightscribe? Also what are the best dvd's (brand) to purchase with it
Document: I got more than I bargained for with this little gem! It burns ALL TYPES OF CD/DVD. Where your built-in drive fails, this little gem NEVER fails. The lightscribe is excellent! It even burns faster than my built-in drive on my HP. When I want to copy many discs I plug it in so it can be used as my target-drive while the built-in drive will be used as the source-drive. This is really, really good!
I am very satisfied with the purchase of this computer software. It is working very well. This is what I needed for my Dell Computer in Puerto Rico. I am used of using LightScribe in my HP computer in Atlanta and I needed an external drive for my Dell that does not come with an internal drive for this purpose. Also I have been able to reproduce home made dvd films.
I purchased this product because I needed an external DVD re-writer with LightScribe capabilities. I was surprised to find out that when you go to create a label it prompts your purchase the software from CyberLink for another $19.95. When I contacted LG they told me that they no longer include the software to use LightScribe and that I must purchase it from other vendors.
Bought when my drive broke on my old laptop and worked great. I have since bought a new laptop and still use this external one rather than the one in my new laptop. Great purchase, highly recommend.
The product was fine while it worked. Then, about 8 months into use (very light use), the power connection into the burner stopped working. The cord would just fall out. Eventually, the burner received no power from the computer. I can give 2 stars, because it at least worked for 12 months. My other experiences with LG have noon good, so I feel comfortable remaining a customer.
My three year old HP bit the dust last month and I was faced with getting a new computer. In the meantime, I had read that HP was phasing out Lightscribe and I was extremely disappointed about that. I came to Amazon, looked at the products offered, and decided on this LG. I already knew that LG Lightscribe CD-R  and DVD-R blank discs were excellent products and so I got this and have been happy with my purchase.
This DVD Writer works really good. It needs software to use the Light Scribe, so haven't used that yet. It has been very easy to use and reads and writes well even after long use and travel.
Further, you'll need to purchase LightScribe ready DVD and CD-R disks in order to utilize the label printing option.Note: One reviewer wrote that nowhere on the product box does it say it is compatible with Windows 7. He is correct; but the burner IS compatible with Windows 7, so not to worry.
I found this to be a very dependable item for my intended use which was to use as another Burning device for my music/video collection...especially like the lightScribe feature...Great Price too...! !
The DVD/CD player /recorded/burner... in my DELL laptop died.. virtually leaving me stranded... My son recommended this to me... It is a life saver... and so very easy to use.. It has the lightscribe with it, but I have not ventured to use it.... BUT nice to know it is there.... Other wise, this has been a godsend for me...
Answer: Yes it's light wieght slim so easy to carry and burns and light scribe this is the second one I have owned the first one handle deployment and than I lost it so I would recommend this to everyone
