ROOFULL External CD DVD +/-RW Drive USB 3.0 Portable DVD CD ROM Optical Disk ...

Works great and compatible with both USB-A & USB-C connections. It is an easy way to play my old DVDs, burn backups or music CDs, and add older software to newer computers that lack an internal DVD drive.

Great for adding songs to your MacBook from a CD S CD players aren’t included anymore with laptops and functions well and it’s easy to use. It is very quiet and it is fast not to mention. It’s compact size leads to being able to carry it with you in your backpack. The appearance is nice as it looks very sleek and futuristic for it to be a CD player and burner.

USB 3.0 Portable DVD Drive Burner, External Slim USB 3.0 DVD +/-RW Burner Writer DVD CD ROM Drive for Apple Mac Macbook Pro, Windows 10 and 8 Laptop Desktops by ROOFULL--- Summary update ... See full comments below ---------Upgraded rating from 1 star to 4 stars.First drive did not work but the company sent me a new one immediately that does work.I am very pleased with the support at this company. The drive is OK. It does what it says it will do.Note, that it does not have a power cord and draws all power from the USB port. It will not work on unpowered USB hubs but works fine on both usb2 and usb3 ports if located on the computer. Pro is that you never have to worry about power cords. Con is that if your usb port is not putting out enough power, then it is just a brick. Nature of the technology though.----- End of review Summary update -------------------I received this DVD-RW drive today and my laptop will not recognize it. I suspect due to lack of enough power through the USB 2.x port though that is only a guess.It is recognized by my desktop on both USB 2.x and USB 3.x ports.However, it will not read any disk. It will spin the disk very fast and very noisily but will never recognize it. Not any disk.I emailed their support site and am waiting to hear back from them. If they resolve my problem, I will update this review and change the rating to what is appropriate at that time. It may be a chinese company. Not sure. Don't really expect much from them though.-------April 21, 2017 update ------------------Heard back from email the next day. They asked me to do some basic troubleshooting (use different USB ports) which I did. Nothing helped. The drive simply will not read a disk.Support seems pretty good though. After reporting back that nothing helped, I was notified that they would send me a new drive and to expect it in about a week. I will update this review once I get the new drive. In the meantime, I have upgraded the review from 1-star to 2-stars.--------April 27, 2017---------------------------Received the new drive yesterday and tried it out today.Works OK.No problems at all directly connected to desktop PC on USB2 or USB3 ports.On USB Hub off that same PC , the drive is recognized but does not allow me to look at the contents of the DVD I tried to read. However, the hub is unpowered and both the Amazon product description and the included instructions say that this drive does not work with unpowered USB hubs.Have not tried with my laptop yet but don't expect any problems. Will update review if it does not work.So, the drive is cheap but seems to work. I would only give 3 stars for the drive alone. Nothing special about it except that it gets aall of its power from the USB. No powercord at all. However, support is fantastic!I emailed them that I had a problem with the first drive and after the exchange of a couple of emails asking for informaiton they put a new drive in the mail to me. There was no hesitation. The company clearly wants to take care of their customers and keep a good reputation., I am very pleased with support which makes me like the drive better.I am giving it four stars. An upgrade from my original 1 star.

Inexpensive, works great, what more could I say about a $18 DVD-R USB attached? I haven't used a DVD or CD in years, but came across a DVD and needed to get a few files off it. this external CD/DVD player was quick and easy. Now I have a way if needed to read CD/DVDs on my desktop and laptop.

Very easy to use, very straightforward. All you have to do is plug it in directly to your computer via a USB cable. It installs super fast and I was able to rip the songs from some cds my late best friend had burned for me a long time ago. I could also play the cds as well, with no lagging or skipping. My laptop doesn't have a disc drive, but this product helped me be able to connect with the memories of my friend who's been gone for over 8 years by allowing me to access the music on the cds she made me. I'm very impressed with how fast and easy this product was to set up and use. And it got delivered in 2 days. Very happy with this purchase.

Works well. A necessary accessory, since most units do not come with a disc player included in the build. Priced well. Since it is only used occasionally I expect it should perform trouble free for some time. We'll see.

Highly recommended!

My internet isn’t always consistent, so I bought this device to add back “old time” technology to a newly purchased desktop computer: play audio CDs, read SD cards from my camera and for a few extra ports for my external hard drives that I use to back up photos. The device is light-weight and small enough to sit on top of the desktop tower. It was easy to setup. I like the integrated power cord so there is no risk of losing the cord when the device is removed. The only downside to the device is that the USB-C port does not support data transfer; but it can be used to charge a phone. The USB-A ports support both charging and data transfer. I contacted customer service about the USB-C port and they were very quick to reply, were very helpful and explained that USB-C port does not fully support all USB-C data transfer protocols. The positive aspects of this device far outweigh the one negative.

Price was great. Item works as required.

Works well just as expected. Plays DVDs and CDs without problems. Even on Linux, tested on Fedora KDE, recognised when plugged in and performed great.

Bought this to do a language course I had borrowed from the library that came with CD's and my computer doesn't have a drive for it.This was plug and play and worked so easily.And I love the padded case it comes in. Nice and compact and easy to put away when not in use so that it's not taking up space on my desk.

I can use with my MacBook Pro 2020 perfectly. it's easy-friendly. no problem at all. I highly recommend this product.

Overall, I tested this out of the package and it works fine. Lightweight, the carrying case is of good quality, and everything is in order.However, please note two things: 1) You MUSE use a USB 3.0 to power this device or else it will not work properly. It is plug and play but it MUST be a 3.0 USB slot. and 2) in the FINE PRINT of the instructions, it says it is BEST to copy and paste the files of the CD/DVD to your pc and run them in a program like VLC rather than run from the disk directly to "avoid damage" to the device. I was a little disappointed by that as I thought I could run discs directly from the device without having to copy a movie file into my computer.Overall, I am happy for what I paid for.
