External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C CD Burner Portable CD +/-RW Drive DVD Player for ROM Rewriter Burner Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows MacBook Linux Mac OS

Yes! Works as I'd hoped. I also got an interactive disk from my doctor's and this was compatible with it and read the disk. Very happy with this; it was the most affordable option I could find and works great. The cord is short, maybe 6 inches long, so it will need to stay close to whatever you're plugging it in to. The cord also tucks in to the back side so it is very compact. I plugged it in to my computer and the device was recognized immediately so it is also very easy to use. I'd recommend.

Great product! Plug n’ play works all day!! I needed this to transfer my old home movies from DVD to my computer. It was plug and play like it said and the quality was great.

Purchase made in April 2023. I was looking for an inexpensive dvd burner drive for my home video/data burning. Looked thru most of the buyer reviews on this drive. About 1/3 of the people gave bad reviews mostly saying the drive didn’t work one way or the other. After considering the Pros (price <$20, slim case, USB 3 with USB C adapter, 2/3 positive reviews) and Con (1/3 bad user experiences and reviews), I have decided to give it a try mostly because I can always return it within the allowed Amazon return policy. The drive was delivered on time. Inside the dvd drive box is a simple instruction manual, the dvd drive and the USB C adapter tuck on the side which when the drive is pulled from the box fell out easily and could be lost if not careful. I immediately did several tests to see if the drive works because of the bad reviews I saw. Test 1: I plug the drive into my win10 laptop USB 2 socket. The drive powered on as expected with the little orange light shown for a short period of time on the front of the drive and Win10 recognized it as a DVD drive and assigned a drive letter to it. I then run a printer installation disc to install the printer driver to my laptop. The driver installed without any issues. So Test 1 passed. Test 2: I plugged the drive into my desktop USB C socket using the USB C adapter that comes with the drive. The little orange light comes on as expected and my desktop Win10 recognize it as a DVD drive and assigned a driver letter to it. I inserted a home video DVD disc I burned with another drive and played the video using the free 5kplayer downloaded from the internet. No issue so Test 2 passed. Test 3: I inserted a blank DVD disc and moved about 2 GB of data onto the blank disc and use the default burning ability that comes with Win10 ( right click on the DVD burner icon in Windows Explorer and select burn to disc) and the data burned on to the DVD at 8x speed without any issue. I verified the data by opening a PDF file on the disc and it opened as expected. so Test 3 passed. It also runs quite compared to the older dvd drive I had in my laptop. Based on the tests I done above, the inexpensive dvd drive works as advertised. Due to the short time I had this drive, no comment on the longevity of the drive. Suggested improvement to the manufacturer. Put a nylon string on the USB C adapter and have the string tie to the USB 3 cable so it will not get lost easily. Many other electronics I saw on the market now that comes with an adapter has done something similar and should not cost much to do for this drive. Overall I will give it 4 stars. If the adapter can be fixed to the usb cable with a nylon tie, I would have given this drive 5 stars. Of course I would also like the cable to be longer but it might not be feasible to maintain the compactness of the drive. So this is just a want not something against the manufacturer.

I bought this so that I could print of some records that were on disk. It was easy to use, I hooked up to the usb on my computer and everything was smooth operation from there. Very simple design, I had no issues with it reading my disk. Everything downloaded fast. It was easier then I thought and it hit the job done.

Ok, so I am learning that there are different formats to DVDs. When I purchased this dvd player, I wanted it for workouts. My one workout DVD was working perfectly, so I had no reason to return. However, once I started putting in other dvd workouts and borrowed movies from the library, I have found out that they are not compatible. Being a little weak in my technology knowledge, I just assumed it was a bad dvd. However, I have come to find out that only certain dvds actually work with this purchase. So, ultimately, I got played. I am going to have to get yet ANOTHER dvd player in order to use all of my dvds. To make matters worse, I see now this is on sale for $10 off what I paid. I can't even tell you what format works and what doesn't because after searching online for a bit, I am left even more confused!

Low price for an easy to use electronic addition to your office setup. Easy use, with a USB plug in and always makes it possible to add on to computer functions. You can use it like a CD player too. Love it!

This is a lightweight small basic DVD drive. My new computer did not come with one installed in the desktop. I sometimes need to be able to view a DVD so purchased this drive. This one was the lowest cost I could find on amazon. I would only recommend this DVD drive for people like me who only will be using it from time to time. If you need one for daily uses, I would not buy this one. For I do not believe it would hold up very long. It works very well, and the computer finds it as soon as it is plugged into the USB. It even has a place on the back to store the USB cord so easy storage.

Works good and it’s very reliable easy to use
