🖥️ Chuanganzhuo USB 2.0 Slim Portable External CD DVD Drive for Laptop/PC/Mac - Includes Dustproof Bag Case, Black Review

ext. The USB 2.0 DVD/CD player arrived on time (Prime) and in excellent condition. When the device arrived I immediately removed the packaging and plugged it into my old Dell laptop (Windows XP Pro.). I have previously had third party Ext CD drives that all used the same USB cable for power and data. I decided to see if this player would work the same way and just used the data cable to control the device. I booted up the laptop and after a few minutes a small popup appeared on the screen…

Proezdil a little less than a week. Seems to be working fine for the most part. I use it at work so it sits on my desk all day. He's kinda goofy. When closing the drawer, hold the back of the device. Very easy. I couldn't imagine taking it out on the road and subjecting it to repeated knocks and bumps. It worked for me out of the box. Plugged in and played CD. Mine only works fine with a USB cable, and I plugged it into a hub, but it's a self-powered hub, so that's probably important. In…

Worked when I first used it. I bought this to build my new computer as I didn't decide to include an internal CD drive. I found that I can use this if I want to use an old CD or install Windows from a CD. It worked when I first opened it and put the CD in. Then after about 5 minutes I changed the CD - and since then no matter what CD I put in - it just makes a few clicks and doesn't really do anything. It doesn't work with CDs. Just sit and click loudly.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! It stopped working for me after 3 months. The back design is terrible. There are 2 plugs (which, by the way, will occupy 2 of your USB ports): one for power and the other for sending data to your computer. The data connector is flimsy and doesn't even fully hold. He doesn't protect, he just sits there. So, after 3 months, one day, the data connector kept reconnecting to my computer and then kept disconnecting. I have contacted Chuanganzhuo but there is no other way to…

When I work in IT, these things break all the time. I'm satisfied with how reliable it is. As it looked like it was from overseas I was skeptical but it arrived and works great! Comes with a handy drawstring pouch. This is handy so you don't risk losing the special USB cable that comes with the data and power. It has no problems booting, which is good for machines with defective CD drives. It is also useful for laptops without a CD drive, both for installing programs to the hard drive and for…

This is a great external drive if you don't need to burn discs. It's USB powered, so you don't have to worry about an outlet or external power source when you're away from home, and it reads both commercial DVDs and PC-burned DVDs with ease. I was able to use mine to install windows on my desktop. The release mechanism works like a laptop unit: pressing the EJECT button activates a spring that pushes the tray out about a quarter of an inch. You pull the tray out by hand to insert the disc, and…

Most computers in particular. Laptops and tablets come with one or two USB ports at best, and everyone expects users to plug in a hub. It is totally unrealistic for the user to connect two USBs directly to the motherboard USB. Anticipating this problem, I bought a high-end USB hub with charging ports, which means the USB hub has its own 120VAC power source independent of the computer's power supply. The data and power cables of the CD/DVD drive are plugged into the appropriate ports of the USB…

I got it to copy some old audio CDs to my Windows 10 computer Nervous - how can something like this work cheaply? It worked. No driver installation required. I just opened Windows Media Player, set it to auto-copy on paste and auto-eject when done, and left. Then I found out how bad the CD labeling is and that it can't be fixed by editing the filenames, only by editing the meta tags in each file. I had over 400 files (tracks)!. Luckily I found an inexpensive tag&rename program on…
