Do not buy - Windows does not recognize DVD burner

Do not buy - Windows does not recognize DVD burner - Overview - (so-called) "External DVD drive, USB CD player Type-C 3.0 Dual Port DVD Burner CD DVD Rewriter - DO NOT BUY THIS external drive, Windows 10 will only recognize it as a CD-ROM Reader/Writer, NOT a DVD Writer media inserted, it will NOT be recognized, the DVD tray will open with one click and shows the "Insert Disc" dialog.- As I have multiple computers and have other DVD burners that work I did a little research as follows DVD burners work for me, they will work in windows Device Manager as "tsstcop cddvd w". Device. This device is now recognized as "optiarc CD-RW", a device that can only read and write CD drives, not DVD drives. The seller of this device is trying to pass off the CD burner as a DVD burner, but don't be fooled and don't waste your time. Don't waste your time and energy buying this device. This unit will be returned to Amazon and hopefully Amazon will refund my purchase price. The return of this device costs more time and effort than the device itself, but it has to be done "as a matter of principle". I suspect that searching for DVD drives on Amazon might make them difficult to find. working dvd burners on amazon. It may be necessary to just choose a "branded device" that is way more expensive than that nameless useless junk you shouldn't buy.

Pros
