Just plug it in and it’s ready—no software needed. Lightweight, quiet, and reads CDs and DVDs without any issues. Great option for laptops without a built-in DVD drive. Excellent quality for the price. Highly recommended! Read more

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 Read more

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! Read more

Does what it's supposed to do. I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of this drive. The shell has a nice texture, and it has a quality weight and feel in my hand. Read more

It works fine... The lower review is my own fault of buying this. I didn't remember enough that know matter what hardware you have that Microsoft owns everything. I couldn't run any of my cd's or old games because my laptop has windows 11 :( I always tried to change the capability with windows but it still wouldn't accept:( Not the fault of the player . It is a little slow for the things that I can run and skips a little. Not bad though Read more

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 Read more
