Review on Amicool External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C CD DVD +/-RW Optical Drive USB C Burner Slim Writer Reader for Windows/Mac/Linux by Brian Warmack

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended for computer components

This does not work by default. The eject button on the tray does not work. Even using the extract from computer command didn't work properly. Several times I had to resort to the help of a paper clip. Discs read poorly, if at all. Materials everywhere seemed cheap. I doubt it will last long in a laptop case that's going to take any degree of abuse. On the one hand, a permanently connected cable with a storage socket is practical. One less loss. On the other hand, it is an irreparable weak point in case of cable damage. Not that I expected this to be his first point of failure based on this drive. For skeptics, a PC-side hardware failure or a PEBKAC error is definitely out of the question. Tested on a laptop with Windows 10 and USB 3. My new non-HP drive is performing like a champ so far. Revain suggests mentioning portability in this review. It's very portable. Return to the UPS Store for a Refund!
