AntikaExternal CD DVD Drive TypeC USB 3.0 Extended Cable Backup Power Line Portable DVD Player CD/DVD +/-RW Burner Reader for Laptop Desktop PC Apple Mac Macbook Pro Windows 11/10/8/7 / XP Linux OS

I'm very pleased with this drive and how easy it is to use. It was immediately recognised by both my Windows 10 Samsung laptop and Windows 11 Lenovo Desktop with no need for any additional drivers to be loaded. So true plug and play support.Both my laptop and desktop also provided enough power to the drive from a single USB 2 or USB 3 connection and so there was no need to provide any additonal power. It is however extremely useful that a external power cable has been provided in the box which would allow you provide a separate power source for the drive which might be prudent when writing large amounts of data to a CD or DVD to minimise the possibility of device disconnections if it draws more power than the single USB port on your device can deliver.In terms of discs, it has happily read my music CDS, retail data CDs for software installation without any compatability issues too. So it perfectly meets my requirements for a portable CD/DVD drive as most laptops and devices no longer come with optical drives these days.It feels quite robust and rigid and so I would expect it to be quite durable when transporting about in my laptop bag with my other devices. It also isn't overly heavy so doesn't add a great deal of weight in my bag. It has got four little rubberised feet on the base which helps it grip on shiny surfaces such as a desk and helps minimise any vibrations whilst the discs are being read.In terms of the casing, the finish seems ok for the price too with a matt underside, shiny sides and a sort of brushed diamond effect top which catches the light in quite a pleasant way.All in all this is just what I was looking for and for quite reasonable price.

Wanted a good value device to rip some music CDs as my new PC doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. This was great value for money, worked straight away without needing any additional software.

I needed an external DVD/CD drive and this one seemed to fit the bill on a combination of price and reviews. It arrived quickly and was easy to "set up" - actually that just means taking it out of the packaging and working out which combination of the provided cables is needed. As with many products nowadays, the instructions aren't 100% clear but it wasn't too hard to work out.I can't comment on reliability as I have only had the drive for a couple of weeks but the build quality looks quite good.

Excellent product. Compact, lightweight and simple to use. Runs silently and screen images are crisp and clear. Inexpensive.

Very easy to use and set up on my laptop.Great value for money

Needed an external drive for my Mother's new laptop as most modern laptops no longer have them at all.So far this has done exactly as needed, reading her craft CD's and DVD's.As yet I haven't tried to burn any DVD's so can't comment on that feature. I would say overall we're happy with it, feels ok in the hand, not overly plasticky or cheap. The USB C option is good for read speed and doesn't take a more commonly used USB port.

This drive is working well (only had it a few days) but the provided leads are far too short, making it impossible to put it where I had wanted.

For some reason, the DVD player on my desktop started skipping even though it's not that old. There was no fix. So I thought I would try this player out as it was only a few quid. It's very basic and the lead could be a bit longer, but the important thing is, it plays all my DVD movies really well and I can watch complete films without problems. I still have a big DVD movie collection and this has been something of a game changer as I don't have to worry about movies grinding to a halt or skipping ruining my evening entertainment.
