Amicool External DVD Drive USB 3.0 USB C CD Burner CD/DVD +/-RW Optical Drive, Slim Portable DVD Player CD ROM Rewriter Writer Reader for Laptop Desktop PC Windows 11/10/8/7 MacBook Mac Linux OS Apple

Very nice external drive for my MacAir. For me, it was a simple plug and play setup. Slip in a audio CD or movie disc and the drive will spin up automatically while my Mac opens the appropriate software to read the disk. Have used almost daily for several years and still functions just fine.

Works perfectly with my Macbook Air 2022! Super easy to use and I was able to burn a cd with zero hassle. Great product!

Easy to use and set up. Small enough for easy portability.

Successfully burned a cd on this! Easy to use.

Got this primarily to look at medical CDs which tend to be "data-heavy" and honestly didn't expect much but it's come through brilliantly! The size is perfect, I keep it with all the "medical records" in an expandable file folder so that's a MAJOR PLUS! It's also great because there isn't any software to be installed. Simply plug it in and use it! REALLY quick, convenient. And it runs as well as a "built-in" CD reader. Not sure how it is at burning CDs. Will have to give it a try soon. But if it functions this well reading medical discs, looks VERY promising. And for the cost, it was one of those purchases WELL WORTH the investment. Plug it in and use it. Couldn't ask for better.

So far so good. Literally plug and play. If you have a windows pc you need vcl player to watch movies. Easily burn cds. Connects easily to a usb port. If you're connecting to a usb-c make sure that port also supports data transfer amd it will only power your device but you wont be able to watch movies or play cds. Will up after a couple months.

I never thought I’d ever have to burn a CD these days, but I ran into a situation where I did. It works great with the MacBook M5 Pro. It’s fast and does a wonderful job, and it’s a great purchase for the price. It’s very compact and easy to stow away in a drawer in case you need it again.

As a 2000s kid who grew up playing Zoo Tycoon, Zuma Deluxe, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and more I have been looking for a way to break back into these games and I finally found a way. Pros: - The CD reader plugged right into the side of my computer in the USB drive. There is an additional attachment on it that connects to the USB to allow for USB-C plug ins. - The player allowed me to play the computer games with no issues. - The player read the games quickly and didn’t struggle if it was bumped as the old Walkman players did. - you don’t have to install any applications to use the player Cons: - inserting the disk is difficult if you don’t push in at the perfect angle. So you have to lift up or push down a bit to get it just right - the cord attached to it is very short, so playing with it attached to my laptop is a little difficult

Despite it says on the box that it works with Linux OS, it does not! There is an email in the manual and the answer I got when I asked for an installing driver for the latest LTS release of Linux was: "Hi, Sorry for not being able to reply you earlier. Having sent your issue to our technical team, we were told this external drive doesn't support Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. It work fine with Mac and windows system. Sorry for the inconvenience and sincerely thank you for your understanding and patience. Best regards" This is why I gave this item the minimum score for portability. As for easy to use, I think the cable could be a bit longer, because when I'm home I use a platform to elevate my notebook, so the screen is horizontally aligned to my eyesight. I am going to test the drive with Windows, but that is going to be a pain in the neck to keep switching between OS just because of it.

Je l'ai branché sur mon ''laptop'' car celui-ci n'a pas de lecteur CD/DVD intégré. Globalement, je suis satisfait du résultat. Bon rapport qualité-prix.

utilizado en dos ocasiones, funciona bien

Habe mir dieses externe Laufwerk gekauft, um alte DVD-Rs und CDs zu digitalisieren, und bin begeistert! Die Installation auf meinem Mac war völlig unkompliziert – einfach anschließen und loslegen. Die Kompatibilität mit macOS ist perfekt, ich musste keine zusätzlichen Treiber installieren. Besonders positiv fand ich, dass das Laufwerk sowohl einen USB-A- als auch einen USB-C-Anschluss (über den mitgelieferten Adapter) unterstützt. Das macht es unglaublich flexibel – ich konnte es sowohl an meinem neueren MacBook mit USB-C als auch an einem älteren Mac mit USB-A problemlos nutzen. Die Schreib- und Lesegeschwindigkeit ist sehr gut. DVDs und CDs wurden schnell erkannt und verarbeitet. Auch das Kopieren von Inhalten verlief ohne Probleme und erstaunlich flott. Qualitativ macht das Laufwerk ebenfalls einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Es ist kompakt, leicht und gut verarbeitet – ideal, um es bei Bedarf auch mal mitzunehmen. Insgesamt bin ich mit diesem Kauf mehr als zufrieden und kann das Gerät jedem empfehlen, der ein zuverlässiges Laufwerk für macOS (oder andere Systeme) sucht. Volle 5 Sterne!

Cumple con lo que se describe en el producto, el único detalle que encuentro es que no aparece como detectado por el equipo, solo al momento de grabar si aparece el nombre de la unidad.
