Pros Once I figured out what was wrong, the equipment seems pretty solid. 
Cons Dealing with LG's customer service is my biggest complaint. 
Recommended it? No

I bought this product to have an extra DVD/Burner writer for my Mac mini.  If I did not have to deal with LG's subpar customer service department I would not be writing this review. Read full review »
