Loud but does the job

The drive is loud, like a noisy old-school Windows 98 drive, but it does the job. I have an HP Elitedesk Mini Desktop Computer (model g800 2018 Core I7 6700T, 32GB RAM, 10TB Storage, Windows 10 Pro) and it doesn't have a floppy drive, but I needed a floppy drive to install software and all my music to load . CDs and an SD and Micro SD card reader. It meets all of its requirements for me, all USB ports and SD and micro SD card slots are all functional. No problem as mentioned in other reviews, I've tried both the USB-C port and the USB-A 3.0 port and both work fine, just don't connect both at the same time, just choose one connection method if I do When I plugged them both in, my computer didn't recognize the drive, but once I picked one end it worked fine. It took me about 5 minutes to test play the DVD on my computer. I spent most of my time waiting for Windows to find and install the drivers to make it work. **UPDATE** 08/30/21 I also have a docking station for my samsung galaxy s10 which turns it into a desktop computer and i can connect a drive to the dock and my phone recognizes the drive and can play dvds and music Play CDs and use card readers and additional USB ports. My only complaint and the reason for the 4 stars still has to do with the loud old school sound of the drive.

Pros
  • Optical drives
Cons
  • Long delivery time
