NOLYTH External DVD Drive, Slim CD Drive for Mac, USB Disk Drive CD Burner DVD Player for Laptop, Portable CD ROM Optical Drives CD Reader DVD Writer for PC MacBook Windows

I needed an external CD/DVD drive to digitise my music collection and this piece of device does the job perfectly. It connected to my M1 Macbook Pro in an instant and was ready to be used. It also has an USB Type C connector by default so no need for additional dongles. Furthermore it comes with a nice pouch where you can keep when not used and it looks sleek and stylish. Very happy with it.

Like , worked right away , no setting up required , nice quality product .dislike , did not show up on computer until disc loaded once you know that, its oka little flimsy when drawer open . But I liked design , case was nice , cable with adaptor was nice touchA very nice product . well done.

I swallowed the kitschy design with the unremovable red rose and non-English non-sensical legend on it because the price was right. The player was delivered very quickly, with a handy padded storage bag and neatly stored cable, including both USB-C and standard USB connectors. It actually did work straight out of the box (even on my MacBook)! Sound and picture quality is perfect and all normal functions working. Slight improvement could be made with a longer cable (but then it wouldn't stow away under the unit). Great improvement would be made if they would ditch the sickly inbuilt photo and give us a plain metal case instead!

I have tried it on my Windows laptop and it reads cd-rom discs fine, looks sturdy and uses one usb port to both power it and read the contents which is great. I am happy with the product (I needed to buy it as I had decided to get rid of my very last desktop with an inbuilt cd-rom drive earlier this week, now all our desktops and laptops can use this drive in case something quarter of a century old needs to be accessed from a cd/dvd etc)

works well but you must follow instructions for first time installation, other than that does what its supposed to

I bought this drive in order to burn CDs into my computer with. It turned out to have a fault on it, which means that it is unreliable and occasionally makes the odd glitchy file on every other CD or so that I burn. Because I only use it periodically, it took a while for it to become clear that this was a persistent fault and I couldn't return it to Amazon for a refund. However, it should have been covered under warranty for repair or replacement, which is where the problems really began.Nolyth were quick to respond but insisted that i should provide "a video" of what the problem was, otherwise their engineers would not be able to understand it and it could not be addressed. I explained to them more than once that, because the problem was intermittent, unpredictable, and an output problem rather than one where the machine clearly did not work at all, there was no way of demonstrating it on camera. As I was unable to film it, I instead suggested that it be returned for inspection. Nolyth continued to insist on a video, made no attempt to address the obvious issues with this line of approach and refused to do anything otherwise. One can only assume this is either the result of a strict and nonsensical policy regarding warranty claims, or an attempt to wriggle free of their duties to customers. Either way, I have a faulty unit and they will not replace it.In despair of getting anything out of them, I have bought another drive from a company who appears to be more reliable (a fairly sizeable brand in the field who are well reviewed). I had assumed from the reviews on Amazon that the unit would be reliable and, given that they are also reviewed elsewhere, that the brand was at least big enough to be reputable in their dealings. This was wrong. Nolyth are happy to take yr money and will not provide even basic aftercare in return. Tbh i wouldn't want a replacement from them now as i would not trust it to work. I also couldn't face having to deal with their obtuseness and their refusal to engage with the most basic issues as they are presented to them. I recommend that others look elsewhere, I'm sure that there are other drives in the £25-£30 bracket from companies who won't rip you off as standard.

Easy to use and looks great

Good value for money. Works well. Runs very quiet. Good quality playback. It certainly plugged and played into my Mac19 with no problems. I suspect other people plugging into the wrong port is why their reviews are not favourable. Anyway mine matches the color of my Mac looks good and will last a long time. Excellent piece of kit.

… mit dem neuen MacBook pro 🙃. Ging daher zurück.

compré esta unidad externa y la verdad es que la relación calidad precio es muy buena. viene en un estuche rígido que la protege de golpes. Es muy silenciosa y fácil de usar y funciona perfectamente, con lo que no le encuentro ninguna pega.

Non sapevo come riguardare dei vecchi CD nei quali avevo salvato diverse fotografie. Mi sembra funzioni bene ma non lo sto usando moltissimo

En poco tiempo deja de hacer buena conexión y se conecta y desconecta del ordenador. Si no fuera por eso es bueno. Me sucede en los dos ordenadores que tengo.

Ich finde es gut, dass dieses Laufwerk mit einer Schutztasche geliefert wird.Es ist leicht und sofort einsatzbereit.
