Review on πŸ“€ Portable CD DVD +/-RW Drive USB 3.0 Type-C External DVD Drive for Laptop DVD Player CD ROM Rewriter Burner Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows MacBook Mac Linux Mac OS by Jay Matlock

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far so good with external components

The first time I tried it, it didn't work. The light just blinked rhythmically and the drive never showed up on my desktop screen. I don't know if it was just some kind of recalibration or something, but after those first two tries it's working fine now and has worked fine all day. I like that it has a built-in (but short) cable, including a USB-C adapter. I gave 5 stars for "light weight" but 5 stars really because it is NOT as light as some others. It's a little heavier than some of the weaker competitors - still not very durable, but better. I can't believe they can make and sell them so cheap! Works great on my Mac Book Pro except for the first 2 minutes.

Pros
  • PLUG AND PLAY: The CD/DVD drive has external USB and USB-C connections and does not require an external driver or power supply. Just plug it into your laptop's USB and Type-C ports and the CD/DVD drive will be recognized automatically. An external USB 3.0 DVD drive is the perfect companion for computers that don't have an internal drive.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
