This item was definitely worth the price. I had an older pc game that only in CDROM and this thing works wonderfully. It does have a short usb cord but I have a bunch of extenders that work on it. It’s quick and easy to use like plugging in a Bluetooth keyboard. Read more

I have been using the CD player for a week and it has worked perfectly. Did not have any problems with connecting to windows 11. The unit plays music CD's and all my backup files. Never had any problem ejecting disks. Good value for the money,easy to use and better quality than the other brands my friends are using. Read more

I have a much more expensive external DVD that has been a problem from the start. It is super picky about what it will play so I decided to pick up this one to see if it could play a few discs the other one wouldn't. To be honest, I didn't really expect much but I was pleasantly surprised. This is truly plug and play. It has played just about everything I have tried without any issues. I am slowly digitizing my DVD collection and this has worked quite well for that purpose. The added ports are an outstanding addition and work flawlessly. It can also be powered via usb A or C and both are integrated into the attached power cord. My only complaints are that it is a bit slow and the cable is really too short though I do like the way it is stored on the bottom. The cable is built in so it cannot be replaced though I may try an extension cable. Overall, this is a very well-built and very easy to use DVD drive at a good price. If you are considering buying, just do it! Read more

For the price, it's perfect for just wanting to watch DVDs on my laptop. I did have to download DVD software from the Microsoft store, but it was free and worked with this device with no issue. Cord length is short but workable. It is pretty quiet, just a light hum. Easy to use and I like the little velvet back it came with. Read more

the disk drive I used to have in my pc stopped working a few years ago and I never replaced it. (IIRC I threw my desktop, I can't remember why to save my life, honestly, no hdd at the time, only an m2 ssd so the pc works as normal, but the expensive m-disc compatible disc drive, which I was going to use for data archival and storage but never really did, stopped working correctly and I eventually removed it. Relatedly I need to clean my pc soon, thing is filthy). Anyway, I usually download ps2 roms to emulate since no disc reader. There was one I couldn't find online so I ordered this to rip the copy I have on hand (I own the vast majority of the ps2 games I emulate). It works like a charm, and I ripped a few more games while I was at it. Might rip my cd collection later too. it's been sitting unused for a few years. Oh and while the instructions for this say not to use it with a usb extension, I did because the built in lead is short, and it works fine, though my extender is blue, meaning it's usb 3.0 rated. It's a 3 or 4 foot extension. Read more

I bought a cheap external DVD drive and it wouldn't spin up on my 2025 MacBook Air, so I returned it. The seller said it was defective. Then I found this one, and I bought a used "like new" one and it arrived broken, so I sent that one back. Finally, I ordered a new one of these and it works just fine. I like that it comes with an external power cord (you supply the charging block) so if your USB drive is underpowered, you can plug it in and it will have sufficient power. You don't need an expensive powered hub, which probably wouldn't work for these external drives. I like, too that it has an SD (two different sizes) card reader; also, if you have wired internet, you can connect through this device, and you can chain other USB devices off of it. It may have cost a bit more than the cheapest external drives, but it actually works well, which is really important! I was able to grab some old images off of a CD, and I was able to view a medical DVD that contained MRI images (I had to download a free helper application to make that work). Read more

Works great! Easy to connect, easy to add to computer setups without a hassle, and it clips right on the top. I will say the video quality is somewhat low, and seems to have lots of noise in the image, especially in darker images. If you want a 4K Deskcam then this isn’t it, this is incredibly standard for what it is but works if you’re looking for a middle of the road cam that works as expected. Read more
