- External CD/DVD Drive, Portable USB 3.0 & USB-C CD RW Drive, DVD Player, DVD Burner for Laptop, Desktop, Compatible with Windows 7/8/10/11, Mac, MacBook Pro/Air, Linux (IDD029-2)

Does exactly what it is supposed too, i use it to burn data disks and burn dvds. Its speed is a little slow feeling, but i do believe thats my own bias of not having to rely on disks for installing software anymore. Cheap, and convenient if you cant have an internal disk drive.

Sure, I'll write a review. I plugged it in and it works, first time! Just like it's always been a part of the computer. Nothing to install, no need for additional power outlet, runs off USB. No software included, but for what? Essentially what you have here is your typical laptop-style drive, meaning, you snap the CD\DvD to the spindle and push the drawer in. Watched a DvD movie on it last night, even paused it a couple times, no problems. Update: Okay I had some problems develop a few weeks after use: 1) wouldn't read disc. 2) ejected disc, ejected disc so much I couldn't keep it closed, ejected on boot up, ejected in middle of a movie! 3) started vibrating like it was exceeding its RPM. Then, I turned it over, removed three screws and re-seated the drive in the connector, and closed it back up, and so far it's been quiet and playing nicely. Okay, Love It!! This drive and VLC makes for a great DvD movie player!

I haven't owned any DVDs for at least ten years now, but every once in a while I need to access files or an ancient archive disc and this little unit saves my bacon. It's never failed to read my discs, some of them over 25 years old! The cables tuck away very nicely. And it needs no external energy source. I haven't tried burning a DVD but it's amazing to me that this inexpensive device can do that. And when the AI take over, you may want a way to keep digital info off of the cloud. XD

Works great only problem my USB plug got stuck and broke off in my TV. It doesn't even work that way. A CD got stuck because it lost power. Bad news is the wire has five smaller wires so it's not quite so easy to splice. Good news is if you take the cord off, the base of the cord is a USB C port into the main mechanics of the player. So you can take any USBC that can transfer video audio data from your phone to a computer into the player and get it to work from there. No clue why the USB port broke off so easy. First day of having it, looks super ugly, but it's fully functional. And I don't think this USB C port for USB port is going to snap off because it never has before.

It works. Using makemkv to download my DVD collection. Max rip speed seen with dvd was 7.1x, average typical 3-4x. giving errors about region setting but it plays dvd using vlc medial player and ripping DVD just fine. Over all working well no complaints.

when i got this and tried to plug it into my macbook with the type c cable it wasn't connecting. i was getting really sad about it, but then i realized that it wasn't in all the way. so keep this in mind if you use a computer with usb type c: you have to push the cable in as far as possible to get it to read the disc player. it should make a click once you get it in far enough it's a bit stubborn. once it was in i got it to burn a mixtape of my favorite band, with 15 songs or 56 minutes, and it burned the cd in around five minutes, maybe less. it was super loud while burning, but personally i don't mind as someone who grew up playing on the xbox 360. anyway after it was done i put the disc in my radio/cd player and it plays flawlessly with great sound. so personally i had a mostly great experience with the disc drive, i would absolutely recommend if you want something cheap, easy to use, and high quality

Great writer and player. Once you install the necessary software. You'll be up and running. For occasional use this is a great buy. Theirs no drivers to install just a app to read and write. I really don't like the cable is not detachable. It does have a storage area for the cable. I think for occasional use it will last awhile. No driver to install it's plug and play. Very easy to use. I would recommend to anyone needing a DVD/CD drive.

It took me about an hour to figure out how to get this dvd/cd player/writer to function. I am using windows 11 pro. When I plugged it in and inserted a disk, it found the disk but windows media player would not load the media. I downloaded VLC player and after about half an hour of fiddling with it, I finally got it to load the movies I wanted to play. I cannot attest to how durable/long lasting this will be….but it seems to function properly though not quite plug and play for me.

Simple plug and play device. Zero issues.

Works as intended.

I plugged it in to my all in one desktop and my desktop doesn't even see that I plugged something in. Even in my file manager, it doesn't show anything plugged in. I'd already downloaded a video player. Going to send it back. The description says it is good for Windows 11, but on the box it only goes up to Windows 10. Not sure if I got a faulty one, or if it simply won't work on Windows 11.

I tried to use a different maker’s external CD drive but found it worked a bit hit and miss when it was operating, however this runs very smoothly and I have had no problems. I recommend this make..
