Type of review

Connect it to a Windows 10 PC Nothing like that. Unrecognized. Plug it into your Ubuntu 18.04.2 PC. Nothing. Connect it to your Archlinux computer. Nothing. Not recognized by any of my devices, even though the device has power. The driving lights come on. It throws and spins discs perfectly. But the unit is unrecognizable. Garbage. So we turn to a little book for guidance for help. nope The manual says gibberish. return of the device. Not interested in replacement. Judging by the reviews, some…

Pros
  • There's something to it

Ejection problem

I am writing this because I was looking for this information a month after purchase when I could not eject the disc. First, this thing is fantastic at reading the most obscure, leftover CDs or DVDs you have around the house (or new ones, like the ones I copied from my vet's x-ray on our cat). I'm using this on a 2012 Mac Air so obviously I tend to hold on to my electronics for a while. One day I decided to go through the large rubber lined bin that held all my old CDs and found hundreds of…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • No form required

Reduced Product Reliability

1. The eject button worked reliably when inserting a DVD into the player. Unfortunately, once inserted, the DVD had to be ejected using the onscreen controls or the computer's eject option; it could not be ejected using the button on the DVD player.2. If I stop the disc in the middle of a movie, eject it and then insert the same disc again, the DVD player doesn't start the DVD player from the beginning. It will be picked up from where I last left it. I was able to work/live with both of these…

  • Comfortable

Better price than the Apple equivalent.

I don't actually use my DVD drive/burner that much, so I was very disappointed when the Apple Superdrive I bought with my iMac started having reading problems after only a few years. I've also never been a fan of DVD and CD drives that don't give you physical access to the disc - which became an issue when reading problems started and the discs wouldn't eject. Alternative. It features a slide-out tray with manual ejection, reducing the chance of losing a disc inside. And it's as fast and quiet…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Minor issues

Better than the model I previously bought

I bought a slightly different model from this seller with terrible results, almost 50 percent failure rate when burning CDs! Came back and decided to try this one. Much better. Just plug and play, successfully burn about 30-35 audio CDs with only 2 or 3 errors. (Keep your computer and recorder on a flat surface, avoid shaking. I used 12x speed, not the best option but works well. Also: the computer doesn't "recognize" the device until you type a blank Insert disc.) How good can it be for less…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Available in white only

Great and fast DVD/CD recorder!

Got this to set up my RV office. I am a digital nomad and am out and about in my mobile office at least 5 days a week. I decided to buy two devices, this one and almost the same. They seem to be really great solid hardware, especially for the low price! They are beautiful, thin and very light which makes them perfect for my business. When you work on the go, your internet connection can be a little unpredictable at times. Although I usually keep my backups in the cloud, I plan to use this…
