External DVD Drive USB 3.0 USB C CD Burner CD/DVD +/-RW Optical Drive, Slim Portable DVD Player CD ROM Rewriter Writer Reader for Laptop Desktop PC Windows 11/10/8/7 MacBook Mac Linux OS Apple

Very nice external drive for my MacAir. For me, it was a simple plug and play setup. Slip in a audio CD or movie disc and the drive will spin up automatically while my Mac opens the appropriate software to read the disk. Have used almost daily for several years and still functions just fine.

Bought this because my new computer didn't have a CD/DVD drive. I needed something to RIP my CD collection to my new computer. It works great, goes out of the way when not needed and it cost much less than having to pay for a DVD burner pre built into your computer. Simple to use. Easy to understand. Now all my CD's are easily accessible on my computer and can easily be transferred to other devices for my listening pleasure.

The first truly functional inexpensive Chinese drive I found that works Testing several of the inexpensive Dries found on Amazon and other sites I typically found portable CD players that would successfully read and rip audio CDS but this is the only one I found that could actually successfully write or burn a CD while plugged directly into the port of the computer a couple of the others would burn successfully if they were run from a powered USB hub but this one is the only one of the cheap ones that I bought that actually completes a burning process that gets it 4 stars the only thing that keeps it from being five stars is the very flimsy plastic housing construction typical of these class of drive that makes handling the CD tray and the C DS themselves a bit fiddly at the risk of breaking the drive or misalignment of the disk disk In summary if you really want to go with the cheapest drive you can find with a reasonable insurance that it will not only read but also write this is my recommendation

This cd drive is very quick and convenient to use if you have to do anything with CD’s. I had some issues with my software itself and decided to return as I have no use for it. It’s also not bulky and can be stored conveniently. Easy to connect and stays powered on as long as it’s plugged into your device. Price is great and cord isn’t that long and tucks under which is also a plus; never seen that before.

I have been moving old CDs to Apple Music on my Mac Book Air. I thought it was going to be complicated, but it is very simple and works great.

As a 2000s kid who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon, Zuma Deluxe, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and more I have been looking for a way to break back into these games and I finally found a way. Pros: - The CD reader plugged right into the side of my computer in the USB drive. There is an additional attachment on it that connects to the USB to allow for USB-C plug ins. - The player allowed me to play the computer games with no issues. - The player read the games quickly and didn’t struggle if it was bumped as the old Walkman players did. - you don’t have to install any applications to use the player Cons: - inserting the disk is difficult if you don’t push in at the perfect angle. So you have to lift up or push down a bit to get it just right - the cord attached to it is very short, so playing with it attached to my laptop is a little difficult

Just what I needed. I needed to put all my embroidery files on my newer laptop. This drive worked great with it and I was able to get everything installed. It's truly plug and play.

A bit noisy, and works great. I just plugged it in, and a took a moment to get recognized. No additional software or app needed. It vibrates quite a bit when operating, but I bought to rip old cds to my laptop, so it’s not on all the time. The price was great, I would buy again.

Despite it says on the box that it works with Linux OS, it does not! There is an email in the manual and the answer I got when I asked for an installing driver for the latest LTS release of Linux was: "Hi, Sorry for not being able to reply you earlier. Having sent your issue to our technical team, we were told this external drive doesn't support Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. It work fine with Mac and windows system. Sorry for the inconvenience and sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience. Best regards" This is why I gave this item the minimum score for portability. As for easy to use, I think the cable could be a bit longer, because when I'm home I use a platform to elevate my notebook, so the screen is horizontally aligned to my eyesight. I am going to test the drive with Windows, but that is going to be a pain in the neck to keep switching between OS just because of it.

Bin zufrieden. Macht, was es soll. DVDs abspielen. Für den Preis gibt es nix zu meckern.

Je l'ai branché sur mon ''laptop'' car celui-ci n'a pas de lecteur CD/DVD intégré. Globalement, je suis satisfait du résultat. Bon rapport qualité-prix.

utilizado en dos ocasiones, funciona bien

Cumple con lo que se describe en el producto, el único detalle que encuentro es que no aparece como detectado por el equipo, solo al momento de grabar si aparece el nombre de la unidad.
