5.0 out of 5 stars Gets the job done!
Plug and play, it’s lightweight take it everywhere very sleek design you can hide de cable under it and store it easily, I got it to burn some CD’s and it worked flawlessly
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value, works with Linux and cdparanoia
I've used this product mostly to rip CDs with cdparanoia III on Linux. It is capable of error detection when streaming CD audio in this configuration. It's quiet and does not require any special drivers.It is made mostly of lightweight plastic, and has a short, non-removable USB A cable. These things make it small and affordable, but its fragility makes it less ideal for portable use. It might not last long if the cable is frequently folded/unfolded or the drive is transported roughly.
4.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs Up
Purchase made in April 2023. I was looking for an inexpensive dvd burner drive for my home video/data burning. Looked thru most of the buyer reviews on this drive. About 1/3 of the people gave bad reviews mostly saying the drive didn’t work one way or the other. After considering the Pros (price <$20, slim case, USB 3 with USB C adapter, 2/3 positive reviews) and Con (1/3 bad user experiences and reviews), I have decided to give it a try mostly because I can always return it within the allowed Bolo return policy. The drive was delivered on time. Inside the dvd drive box is a simple instruction manual, the dvd drive and the USB C adapter tuck on the side which when the drive is pulled from the box fell out easily and could be lost if not careful. I immediately did several tests to see if the drive works because of the bad reviews I saw. Test 1: I plug the drive into my win10 laptop USB 2 socket. The drive powered on as expected with the little orange light shown for a short period of time on the front of the drive and Win10 recognized it as a DVD drive and assigned a drive letter to it. I then run a printer installation disc to install the printer driver to my laptop. The driver installed without any issues. So Test 1 passed. Test 2: I plugged the drive into my desktop USB C socket using the USB C adapter that comes with the drive. The little orange light comes on as expected and my desktop Win10 recognize it as a DVD drive and assigned a driver letter to it. I inserted a home video DVD disc I burned with another drive and played the video using the free 5kplayer downloaded from the internet. No issue so Test 2 passed. Test 3: I inserted a blank DVD disc and moved about 2 GB of data onto the blank disc and use the default burning ability that comes with Win10 ( right click on the DVD burner icon in Windows Explorer and select burn to disc) and the data burned on to the DVD at 8x speed without any issue. I verified the data by opening a PDF file on the disc and it opened as expected. so Test 3 passed. It also runs quite compared to the older dvd drive I had in my laptop. Based on the tests I done above, the inexpensive dvd drive works as advertised. Due to the short time I had this drive, no comment on the longevity of the drive. Suggested improvement to the manufacturer. Put a nylon string on the USB C adapter and have the string tie to the USB 3 cable so it will not get lost easily. Many other electronics I saw on the market now that comes with an adapter has done something similar and should not cost much to do for this drive. Overall I will give it 4 stars. If the adapter can be fixed to the usb cable with a nylon tie, I would have given this drive 5 stars. Of course I would also like the cable to be longer but it might not be feasible to maintain the compactness of the drive. So this is just a want not something against the manufacturer.
5.0 out of 5 stars An inexpensive fix
The dvd drive on my desktop stopped working, but everything else is fine for my needs. Own some dvds with patterns and books I could not access. Now I can. Much less expensive than a new computer.
1.0 out of 5 stars Sounds Like a Plane is Taking off Next to Me
It’s functional and works well but holy hell is loud. You can try to move it around so it doesn’t make noise, but you’ll be holding it at a weird angle the entire time. Definitely don’t move it though because the CD grinds up against the CD player. So if you’re buying this watch movies or focus on something that the CD is playing, for the love of god, go with another product. I had to record material on the disk I was using and then left the room so I didn’t get a headache from the player producing an ungodly amount of noise until it was finished.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great! I Actually used it to Create DVDs
First what I DISLIKE - I wish that it had a detachable cord. There are times that you need a longer cord and I would rather have a single cord rather than patching. However, the main reason is that you will be constantly flexing and abrading the cord. I also wish that they planned a place to store the USB-A to USB-C adapter. I ultimately had to overlook these negatives because it seemed to have the best usage ratings.Now, for the best - I read dozens of reviews and NOBODY had tried to create DVDs. That is the main thing that I needed. I have a similar unit that works well, but I needed another unit that I can pass along to my grandson and train him how to use it. I had (3) mp4s that needed to be placed onto 1 DVD. Now let me explain about my hardware. I have a Dell laptop with Win 11. I would highly recommend loading Ashampoo. It is a free program and they will try to push on other programs, but I have had it for several years and it is very easy to use. I recognizes the Drive and the disk type without a problem. Once ready, you simply drag/drop the files and then tell it to make the DVD (or CD). IT WORKS! I use both -R and +R DVDs and it doesn't seem to matter.Now, I don't allow Apple Products in my house, so I cannot give you any information on how or whether this drive will work with Apple, but I would believe that it would work.
3.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy
Really flimsy and didn’t want to open. Had to force open the first time. Worked as intended. But likely not a durable long term solution. Recommending for single / limited use. Low cost get what you pay for.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple drive
Seems to work like it should.
DVD drive easy to use
Nice and compact. Easy to use. Does the job. Decent price.
Awesome product
I recently purchased the External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C CD Burner Portable CD +/-RW Drive DVD Player for ROM, and I couldn't be more pleased with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by its sleek and compact design. It’s lightweight and portable, making it incredibly easy to carry around and perfect for on-the-go use.The dual interface (USB 3.0 and Type-C) is a huge plus, as it offers flexibility and compatibility with both older and newer devices. Setting it up was a breeze—just plug it in, and it’s ready to go. No need for additional drivers or software installations, which is a big time-saver.Performance-wise, this DVD drive is top-notch. It reads and writes CDs and DVDs quickly and efficiently, with no hiccups or delays. I’ve used it to play DVDs, burn CDs, and even install software from discs, and it has handled everything flawlessly. The USB 3.0 connection ensures fast data transfer, which is noticeable when copying large files.Overall, this is an excellent external DVD drive that delivers on all fronts—performance, design, and ease of use. If you’re in need of a reliable and versatile external DVD drive, I highly recommend this one. It’s worth every penny and definitely deserves a 5-star rating!
Works Great
Simple, plug and play. I needed an external DVD drive for my laptop. It worked great, the problem is the length of the usb cord, it could be a little longer. Burn speed is also good.
Works as advertised
Been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's worked just fine. Only problem i have is that the type c plug doesn't seem to work. The USB A plug worked but still.. . it's got decent speed so so CDs were fine, haven't tried DVDs yet but I expect they work just fine.
amazing product
Does its job! Provides a Usb-c connector and is very light. The cord could be longer but no complaints here!
