ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive for Laptop PC, USB 3.0 Type-C

Works great and compatible with both USB-A & USB-C connections. It is an easy way to play my old DVDs, burn backups or music CDs, and add older software to newer computers that lack an internal DVD drive.

Inexpensive, works great, what more could I say about a $18 DVD-R USB attached? I haven't used a DVD or CD in years, but came across a DVD and needed to get a few files off it. this external CD/DVD player was quick and easy. Now I have a way if needed to read CD/DVDs on my desktop and laptop.

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.

Very easy to use, very straightforward. All you have to do is plug it in directly to your computer via a USB cable. It installs super fast and I was able to rip the songs from some cds my late best friend had burned for me a long time ago. I could also play the cds as well, with no lagging or skipping. My laptop doesn't have a disc drive, but this product helped me be able to connect with the memories of my friend who's been gone for over 8 years by allowing me to access the music on the cds she made me. I'm very impressed with how fast and easy this product was to set up and use. And it got delivered in 2 days. Very happy with this purchase.

I use this to burn CDs to my computer and it works great. What a great price! The last one I purchased many years ago was so much more money. This is compact and perfect for my purposes. I've had no problem using it.

Highly recommended!

Worked like a charm. Only recommendation would be to have a more detailed step by step and identification of what cable goes where. Once I plugged in the USB with the blue on the inside of the cable connector, the computer recognized the device.

I used the drive to record several music CD's to my laptop. One CD would not record? I have returned the CD. The external drive was very nice design & the only one I could find with a nice carry case. The drive also seems to be a little noisy.

As a third party brand/product I was skeptical but this little thing is a work horse. Still going strong after ripping my entire cd collection into iTunes. Backing data up to disc. And even backing up my media library. It’s a little on the slow side given it’s usb generation but it still works wonderfully.

Bought this to do a language course I had borrowed from the library that came with CD's and my computer doesn't have a drive for it. This was plug and play and worked so easily. And I love the padded case it comes in. Nice and compact and easy to put away when not in use so that it's not taking up space on my desk.

Fácil de utilizar, de buena calidad. Muy muy recomendables.👍

Compre este producto para poder copiar discos de musica a mi computadora, descarge vlc, music bee, use windows media player, ningun programa podia copiar mas de una cancion antes de bloquearse completamente. Como se que era este lector? por que compre uno LG en su lugar y ese funciono de maravilla. No vale la pena si deseas copiar mucha informacion, no se que tal sirva para quemar discos pero asumo que sera igual de pesimo.

Works well for burning CD's.
