Beware, as an IT professional, I have tried many of these generic USB DVD drives. The majority of them are old used DVD drives that they salvage, cleanup, put in a case, add a new faceplate, and sell as new. For example, the last one I opened had a dirty beat up drive from 2010 inside. The button was also wonky from the aftermarket faceplate which made the drive pop open at the slightest touch. It's probably fine if you want something really cheap, but just know what you are likely getting. You can typically get new LG USB DVD drives on Amazon or eBay that are actually new for $20-25

There might be another reason to buy name brand DVD writer such as Samsung. It came with Nero software or DVD writing software. Not sure if this is the case anymore.

On the one hand it's a disingenuous ripoff, but part of me likes that we're recycling!

You have absolutely no basis for your comment. And probably wrong. I have no idea if this drive is good or bad, but I dont make up a fantasy and post it. Please help make slickdeals a high quality place.

You may be right, but 70,000+ mostly positive Amazon reviews?

I bought one that wasn't, but claimed to be one, on the description. And I raised a stonk about it. As a result, I got something vaguely like this one, for free.

They may not be wrong though. If you look through reviews one mentions the drive being a DVRTD08A, which is from 2011 I believe. One of the pictures in the reviews is of a UJ8C0 with the date 2013 on it. Several also show broken faceplates....... "Fantasy"

OK I'll bite.
I've needed to rip a DVD twice in the past year when I haven't touched an optical disc in years. The only drive I have is built in to an All In One PC that I don't use so its quite a chore.
