ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive for Laptop, USB 3.0 Type-C Portable CD/DVD Player Burner Reader Writer Adapter for Windows 11/10 Computer Mac MacBook Linux PC

I bought it because my new iMac doesn't have a CD/DVD drive (Pretty stupid, no? And I didn't want to pay $75 for the Mac SuperDrive.) So I was happy to see this drive since it was much less expensive. And the protection plan was really affordable, too. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition. It was incredibly easy to use, just plug and play on my iMac. I burned a CD and a DVD-R with ease. Initially, it seemed a bit noisy and vibrated but it seems to have settled down or else I moved it to a better location. The cord is short so it can't really move far. I played a DVD using iTunes with no problems. It did keep stalling when I tried to play CDs using iTunes. However, when I bypassed iTunes and used either QuickTime or the free VLC player app, it played the CD with no problems and no stalls. So, I figured it was an iTunes issue. I have used it for several weeks with no issues so far.

I bought this player specifically for a favorite old graphics program that needs its disc mounted to run, but it turns out this player does everything and does it well, for a REALLY good price. You kust plug it into a USB port and it's ready to go. I thought I had abused it a couple of weeks ago when it stopped recognizing a disc inside, so I contacted the company. The response was immediate, friendly and thorough. They included a troubleshooting guide in their response and assured me that if nothing resolved the problem they would just send me a new one. I followed the guide and when nothing helped I reported back, and they immediately sent me a new one, via UPS. They even followed up on that a few days later to make sure I got it and to assure me that they had my back if anything ever went wrong again. A company can't do better than that. If there were 10 stars I'd give them every single one.

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.

Love this little burner. I transferred ALL of my Bellydance Music CDs. I was so happy. Durable and easy to use. Conected directly into my Surface laptop with its USB cable. Its small and lightweight. Easily portable. I didnt have any problem with it being compatible with Microsoft Surface And there was no noise very happy with thos product

Works wonderfully and easy-to-use

I want to preface my review with that I am very tech savvy, I help people troubleshoot devices daily, and have exhausted all the tricks and tips that tech support usually offer, plus some. This drive is worthless. It feels flimsy, cheap, and not durable at all. Right out of the box, it wouldn't open. I tried a different USB port, and it popped open so I thought maybe my port had gone bad on my new computer. Hey, it could happen, right? I put a DVD in and it played fine. The next disk it had a hard time reading. I checked to make sure the disk wasn't dirty or scratched. It was fine. Put it back in and it took a long time before it started to recognize the drive. Switched USB ports again, it worked. I put in a third disk, and again took a long time to recognize the drive. Discs 4 - 7 were the same. Disc 8 - absolutely nothing. After trying EVERY USB port on my computer, plus my external USB extenders, my computer continues NOT to recognize that there is a DVD player even plugged in. It. Just. Does. Not. Work. I was only trying to watch a few (legit) DVDs. I'm honestly not sure how this drive has gotten so many good reviews. The price tag is attractive, but after wasting $20 on this thing and the frustration of dealing with it, it's not worth it. Of course, it stopped working after the return window, so I'm out the money. I'll be looking for something better.

So far, so good. Only had this external drive for a week or so but so far it's performed impeccably. The form and design are very stylish; it looks great on my desk. It was immediately recognized and ready to go on my Windows 10 system. All I had to do was plug it in to an available USB 3.0 slot, but I'm sure it would also work fine with USB 2.0. I'm a satisfied customer.

delivery took longer than usual but the product works as intended

Te permite el uso de cd, ya que las nuevas laptops no tienen entradas para cds.

Previously purchased this product and it worked amazing. Easy to plug and play, depending on your computer you may need to download a viewing app, but thats just a click of a button. Perfect for on the go and watching movies or listening to music from your favourite CD. Will be headed up to north soon, and internet is super expensive and don't want to kill my data on my phone, so away I go with this little gem and a few of my favourite shows in boxed sets. This time when the product arrived to the house, the amazon deliver threw the package, and unfortunately damaged exterior, no fault of the seller at all--but Amazon has agreed to take it back. Still think they should just replace it without me sending it back and having to reorder. All in all great little gadget!!

Works perfectly well. Easy to install and use.
