USB 3.0 External CD DVD Burner Drive Aluminium CD-RW / DVD-RW Player/Writer/Burner for Apple MacBook, Laptops, Desktops, Notebooks Support Windows 10 Blue

Having tried the spectacularly unreliable Apple Superdrive I wasn't going to waste my money on one of those again so I looked around for a better value version. At £21 this was worth a punt, but it has turned out to be a brilliant little drive. Sits unobtrusively on my desk while looking pretty (in blue) and when needed it does exactly what is meant to do. Didn't need any annoying software downloads for my 2016 MacBook Pro - just plug and immediate play. Playback quality is easily good enough for me. So far it has been entirely reliable with fairly regular use over the last month. As others have said the connector cable is short (460mm), but it's not a problem for me and I imagine you could buy a longer cable pretty cheaply if you needed one. All-in-all a top value drive that would be hard to beat.

I wasn't looking for the cheapest CD player. The Emmaky has a metal case, works with Win 10 (I have Win 10 Pro 64 bit) and plays music CDs, DVDs and reads CD ROMs. Also I liked the colour as blue made a change from black or silver. I haven't tried its rewriting abilities. It comes with brief instructions which are clearly not written by a native speaker. Don't worry, it's easy enough to install. There are two USB leads in the box – I gather one is for extra power. Emmaky customer service responded quickly to my email inquiry about the power lead. To be safe I connected both. The instructions indicate that the power lead is necessary if the discs 'read and write not fluently.' The description on Amazon says 'powered by one USB cable' which is true but you need the data cable as well, so if you've only got one USB port on your device, this may not be the player for you. Fortunately Emmaky do make others - so take your pick. On my computer the player announced it's arrival as the DVD RW Drive. I had to install a media player to play music and films; restarted just to be sure; opened the media player and inserted a music CD. It loaded the playlist and off we went.

This is an excellent CD DVD burner drive. Unlike others I have tried it is sturdily made, and reassuringly well engineered. It is remarkably quiet in use, almost silent, and due to the quality of its build does not move around or vibrate at all, due to its being heavier that most rival plastic-bodied burners. There is no accompanying booklet, but the device simply operates once you plug it in anyway. It works best plugged directly into the computer. and extra power cable is provided in case it is needed in use. Best CD DVD burner I've owned, and highly recommended.

This item arrived within 2 days and very well packaged. It's a lovely colour which matches my daughter's laptop. I was surprised by the quality, as it was quite sturdy, much more so than I had anticipated. I haven't actually used it yet as it's an Xmas present, but it appears to be a great bit if kit at a really good price. I had worried about buying an unknown brand, but needn't have, and will do so again on the future. Would definitely recommend.

Needed a disc drive because most modern laptops don't have one, there are many to choose from but I can recommend this one, it's sleek with a great looking brushed aluminium finish, very simple, just connect and go, it's quiet, it's quick, it's great quality, and it will do anything you need from a DVD/CD player.

After searching the many External CD/DVD Burner Drive to buy for my daughters laptop with windows 10, I chose this one on the description & recommendations from other reviews left and them saying it works straight out of the box with no set up required and it did with no fuss. Only had it for a few weeks but had lots of use, would thoroughly recommend this product for both price, quiet operation and speed.

never work since i bought it

The disc drive arrived promptly, is very sturdy but light (and a lovely colour) and works perfectly with my MacBook Air. Emmaky USB 3.0 External CD DVD Burner Drive Aluminium CD-RW / DVD-RW Player/Writer/Burner for Apple MacBook, Laptops, Desktops, Notebooks Support Windows 10(Blue)
