Excellent DVD/Blu-Ray burner

I was looking for a good external burner as my current PC didn't have an internal drive. I was impressed by its size and the fact that it's also a USB 3 hub. The drive is currently connected to my laptop via part of the USB-C cable (this was also another bonus feature). I also liked that it had a button to open it instead of pushing the disc shelf. I think this is a better feature than the "push" type or just insert the disc (but that's my opinion). The disc is compact with a nice design on the

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes

  • Hard to say

Device does not perform well in Computers & Accessories

Product received and attempted to use. Windows 10 sees the drive but when I insert the drive it just spins and spins and eventually Windows stops seeing the drive. I've tried several times with different disk types. In the package was a catalog card to contact them in case of problems. I tried to contact them by email according to the information on the card, but after 3 days I didn't get any response from them, so I decided to return the product and tell everyone else. UPDATE: The company has…

  • Highest Score for Support and Durability from Testers

small form factor and versatile

I love the slim, compact form factor and the ability to read SD and TF cards from USB drives. With this CD drive I can now get rid of my separate card reader. Overall, this device has a fairly high search speed and is very quiet. At first I wasn't sure if it would read the disc because it was so quiet. The ability to read CD-ROM24x, CD-R24x, CD-RW 24X, DVD-ROM 8x, DVD-R 8X, DVD-RW 8X and Blue Ray makes this thing super awesome. I'm willing to bet it actually works. The burning feature is a…

Doesn't recognize Blu-ray discs

I couldn't get this drive to recognize my Blu-ray discs. I've tried various programs including the one you recommended with no success. I had no problems with the DVD, CD, etc. drive, but the Blu-Ray didn't work. Windows just keeps trying to recognize the drive when there is a Blu-ray disc in it. If there is nothing in the drive or another drive, it works fine. Very disappointed as I love the extra ports and card slots. Update: I just used a completely different external Blu-ray drive and it…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Great Computer Components Device

First, let me talk about how my day went. I have several Dell computers. and the main unit I use is a Dell XPS with the worst Blu-ray drive imaginable. Looks like Dell found the cheapest piece of crap it could find to save money and threw it in the tower I ordered. So I knew it was only a matter of time before this disc let me down. I watch a lot of movies on my computer and it was very frustrating to use this disc as sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. Well, today it finally broke. I…

A MUST-HAVE for laptops and mini PCs without a CD/DVD drive!

I have 2 mini PCs and 2 MacBook Airs at home that don't have a CD/DVD drive. Let's face it, CDs and DVDs are now considered obsolete and have been replaced by digital downloads/streams and Blu-ray discs. However, I still have tons of DVD movies I bought and CDs I want to listen to or digitize, not to mention my friends who give me data DVDs for photos they took. For these reasons, I decided to buy an external player that not only reads CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, but also writes to them! I have…

  • Absolute legend
