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

This DVD drive is perfect. I had to buy this external drive because my husband and I both have new HP (win10home) and MSI (win10 pro) laptops that don't have CD/DVD drives. Now my two little children are very happy. We record children's books (for learning foreign languages, mathematics, puzzles) on DVD and watch them. This is a good sized disc that you can take anywhere. Very easy to use as it just needs to be plugged into the USB port on your laptop. I recommend this DVD drive to you

I used this external drive to copy audio CDs to my digital music library. So far I have imported 13 albums. It reads fairly quickly and the quality of the resulting files seems good. The construction feels a bit delicate, but that's to be expected for the price, and it doesn't feel like an issue until you wind it up. The cable is quite short, about 8 inches. I wish it was longer, but it still works great for my purposes. I am satisfied with this product.

Although CDs and DVDs are becoming less common, they are still useful and are often used in textbooks and reference books. My HP laptop doesn't have a CD player, only USB-C ports. This device perfectly meets all requirements. I like that the cable splits into standard USB and USB-C. Other devices have a detachable adapter that is likely to get lost when you need it most. It seems to work and boots very quickly when connected via USB. Light enough to throw in a laptop bag but not strong enough…

My cool computers are relatively new and don't have floppy drives. We can't stream movies so I need to be able to play DVDs at the end of each week when it's time for our movie club. The first one, which was supposed to be plug and play, never worked. I sent it back and Revane sent me a new one. The same thing. Curse. Thing. The drive shows up on my computer but there is no content. Now I can't return the second drive and have spent 2.5x the price to buy a working drive. I understand the time…

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

All the excellent reviews here and from other independent reviewers have convinced me how good this product is for the price. I bought this drive specifically for my new Lenovo IdeaPad, primarily so I can play DVDs. Initially I was very happy with it, although it was a bit noisy and the cord was annoyingly short. But I was able to watch movies and even reinstall programs with my discs. But then 4 days ago, two months after purchase, my laptop didn't recognize the drive. The mechanism works, but
