Review on πŸ“€ High-Speed Ultra Slim External USB 3.0 CD/DVD-RW Writer Burner for Macbook Pro Air Imac & PCs/Laptops by Edwin White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I used it twice and it died. The solution was stupid.

I've used this disc player twice and the third time (to access old photos on old discs) it stopped working. Plugged it in and it worked, the light was flashing green so I put the DVD in and that was it. I had to remove the disc with a paperclip. The return window just ended so I said it's a double hockey stick let me take it apart. The USB cable is just a mini USB cable that is plugged into the drive board and unplugged. I plugged it back in and the drive immediately started working again. On one side, under the rubber feet, there are two screws that need to be unscrewed and then just take the top off. If I didn't disassemble it I would throw it away and buy a replacement, albeit from a different brand.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great
