Flawless with 2020 MacBook Pro

I recently bought a 2020 16" MacBook Pro (Intel), my first without an internal CD/DVD drive. I have several other external CD/DVD drives Tried which require an adapter to plug into one of my new MacBook ports.Some didn't work at all and one worked intermittently on my MacBook Pro.Most worked fine on my late 2013 iMac.Then I have this external CD-DVD -Tried USB-C & USB 3.0 drive from ROOFULL and am very satisfied It worked right out of the box Integrated USB-C and USB 3.0 connectors are built into the cable so I don't have to keep track of a separate critical part, and I love how the cable fits into the notch on the bottom of the unit Very pleased with the soft zippered case that has an outside zippered pocket for other adaptors r or cord if required. The device worked right out of the box. I hooked it up to my MacBook and when I put the CD in it immediately recognized and imported the CD. Data transfer was MUCH faster than other external CD drives I've used. I was able to eject the CD from the Finder with no problems. The only thing I was concerned about was a CD tray that requires a decent amount of space in front of the drive to open, but I like the ability to eject a CD with the open/close button on the tray AND if needed the tray has it a small hole for safe paperclips in case I need an emergency eject. I'm so lucky to have a fast, quiet drive that is easy to carry in a soft zippered case.

Pros
  • clear even to the old
Cons
  • protection
