  • Good, simple drive.
Size: Small Color: Black
If all you need is a no-frills drive, this one works just fine at a low price. I have two of them. No problems.

  • Great addition to modern computers
Size: Small Color: Black
We have all these old CDs and now computers don't come with CD drives. Bought this as a solution and it works great. Great plug and play and are able to take it to whatever computer we need it. Easy usb in and ready to go in moments. Stores nicely and cord snaps into the bottom. Great to have this when needed. ... show more

  • Works for now
Size: Small Color: Black
We bought this with a lightning deal so it was a good price. It works with my computer. However, we had an issue with it after using it only a few times. It seemed the DVD tray was not straight so it wouldn't open or close. I had to turn it off (by unplugging it from my computer) and manipulate it some before connecting it again and it finally worked properly. After that, it seems to be better. I just hope it continues working with no issues because I wasn't planning on repurchasing within two months or even a year. There is no power button. It turns on when connected to your device. It connected quickly and easily so there's no need to set up a program to use either. It's small and compact so it doesn't take up much space either. I will say the cord is very short and I wish it were longer. It's almost too close and there's not much space to set it on the table or stand when it's connected to my device. So, in this regard, I don't care for this product. I'm not sure I'd buy this particular brand again when this one gives out. Hopefully, as mentioned, that won't happen for a while. We don't use it often, maybe two or three times a month. ... show more

  • It works but not USB 3.0
Size: Small Color: Black
I bought this to rip some DVDs and CDs that I want to throw out. I connected the drive to my dual boot Win11 / Ubuntu 24.04 machine. I am able to play and rip DVDs and CDs but the ripping aspect is quite slow. While investigating how to optimize the speed of the rip I discovered that the drive was actually USB 2.0, not 3.0. The merchant was kind enough to send me a replacement but the new drive is also 2.0. The drive functions adequately but it's not USB 3.0 as advertised. UPDATE: I'm upping my review to 5 stars because this is the only drive I have that I could get to work with MakeMKV. ... show more

  • Stop debating and buy this one.
Size: Small Color: Black
I spent hours deliberating over all the choices Amazon had to offer. I'm not cheap, but I'm disabled and on a very limited budget, so I was leaning towards the low end of products to stay in my budget. I finally decided to try this product due to the 5 star reviews it got. Right out of the box, feels sturdy and well made. Virtually no setup, plug in the USB cable, and start doing whatever it is you want to do. The reason I needed a burner is most of my old copied music CD's were deteriorating, and I wanted to make new copies to keep in my truck. I was astonished at the speed this drive copied and burned my new CD's. I reproduced 9 albums in a little over 45 minutes. I am more than satisfied with those results. Also during the copy/burn process, I did not hesitate to abuse the drive a bit. Nothing violent, just average bumping, tapping, lifting and turning it, and not a glitch whatsoever, that is until I turned it upside down...It didn't like that...but picked up right where it left off, and had absolutely no effect on the quality of the burns. I also checked all of them and listened to 3 to their full length, and they all sound perfect. There are a couple of "Cons", but they are more than justified for the price and are easily accepted, or worked around. The first one is the "attached" USB cable, I would prefer it to be detachable, so it could be replaced if something happened to the original, but when I considered the fact that it is conveniently stored right on the unit for easy storage, transport, and protection, I decided to cross the "damage cable thing" bridge when I get to it, and move on. The second "Con" is that they don't include any software to actually use it other than Windows Media Player for playing music. So, I did my usual research and found "Express Burn" by NCH Software. It did a great job and very easy to use at an also unbeatable price...FREE! There may be others out there, and of course you could pay to get some premium features, but this program will copy files, create back-ups and copies of your music collection, as well as create bootable CD's to repair your Windows build if need be, without making an additional investment. To close this "novel" (which I almost never write reviews) I will just say I highly recommend this drive, and paired up with the free software you can't go wrong! ... show more

  • Great DVD drive
Size: Small Color: Black
Bought this for the second time for my parents so they could use cd/dvd's on there new computer that doesn't have a cd drive. Works perfectly for them and I use the one I have to burn Dreamcast, and Playstation backups.

  • Not Reliable Enough
Size: Small Color: Black
The drive works, when it works. The issues I have had with it: 1) More often than not, it won't open when the eject button is pushed. It reliably opens if it is being recognized by a computer and the Eject option on the computer is used, but that frequently is not the case. 2) It will suddenly stop working and either has to be rebooted by disconnecting and reconnecting or if it starts up again, it then ejects the DVD. 3) It is quite slow and sometimes takes so long to open a file on a DVD that it seems to time out. It can do the job when it feels like it, but it is very inconsistent and unreliable. I'm done babying it. ... show more
