LG AP70NS50 Slim External SuperMulti Blade Drive
  • Write and read speed was great. No Issues.

  • I needed an external DVD player because the newer All-in-One computers don't have an internal player anymore. Good speed.
  • Laptop's DVD reader stopped working and since I didn't want to take it apart I'm using this as a substitute.
