USB 3.0 Type-C External CD/DVD RW Drive Burner with Protective Carrying Case

The CD drive is just as advertised, and is working perfectly for my intended purpose - adding some CDs to my Apple Music library. The design with the incorporated cord, that clips into the device, and the cover makes it attractive and easy to store.

Very easy to hook up to laptop and runs really good

My current laptop doesn't have an optical drive (a common situation with the latest laptops). I needed an external drive for installing some older software and eventually decided on this ROOFULL external CD/DVD drive. Drive: I've used the drive multiple times now, for reading/installing program CDs on a laptop. It was immediately recognized by both a 6 year old and 1 year old laptop (both running Win 10). The disk tray ejects and closes as one would expect. While reading a disk it was quiet and efficient. I tested both connection types (USB 3.0, Type-C) and both performed well. The 2-in-1 cable tucks snugly into the underside of the drive, which is a clever way to prevent losing the cable - a problem I've had with external drives in the past. It is light enough to toss in a bag and go. I can not speak to it's disk burning features, as I haven't used it for this purpose. My only improvement suggestion would be to make the 2-in-1 cable longer. It currently is about 10 inches long, but having an additional 6 inches would've put it within easy reach when it's plugged into the back my laptop. For this inconvenience, I deducted 1 star from the "Easy to Use" rating. Storage Case: The included gray carrying case is of much better quality than I expected. It's well-padded interior makes me confident that it will provide great protection for short drops or bumping around in a travel bag/backpack. The exterior zippered pocket proved handy for storing an additional cable and thumb drive. Bottom Line: I found the drive to be extremely easy to use...definitely "plug n play" for my application. It appears to be solidly constructed. It performed consistently well through-out my usage. The value is definitely there for me, with the $23.99 price (Oct 2020) making it a "no-brainer" purchase. A great solution if you need to access disks on a laptop with no internal optical drive.

Super easy to use!

I bought this ROOFULL external CD/DVD drive because my laptop doesn’t come with a built-in DVD player anymore (like most modern laptops), and I’m really happy with it. It was truly plug-and-play—just connected it via USB, and it worked right away without needing any extra drivers. I've used it to play DVDs and install some older software from discs, and everything ran smoothly. The build quality feels solid, and the performance has been reliable so far. It’s compact, easy to carry, and does exactly what I need. If you’re looking for a no-fuss external DVD drive, this one gets the job done. ✅ Pros: Works right out of the box Solid build, quiet operation Great for laptops without DVD drives ❌ Cons: None so far

Now this baby is cool, it does it's job with NO HEADACHES & i used it on a Linux distr. and it noticed it just fine with noooo problems, can't ask 4 more..!

I purchased this CD/DVD drive to replace an Apple drive. Actually, to replace two Apple drives. The first Apple drive just stopped working after a number of months. A CD disc is stuck in the second drive. The Apple drive costs more than twice as much as the Roofull. I also specifically wanted an external drive with an ejecting disc tray and a forced ejection hole. I like that the drive reads just about all cd formats. I use the drive primarily to upload edited songs to my computer and to burn songs to blank cds. The drive reads and uploads very quickly. The quality of the sound of the uploaded songs and the quality on the burned cds is excellent. Although I don't usually watch dads on my computer, I tried playing a dvd. When I loaded the dvd in the drive a menu box opened on my iMac computer. I had to select the number of my geographical location in the world which I picked from the displayed map which took a couple of seconds and then the dvd started right away and ran beautifully. Although I didn't have to use it, one can obtain technical support if one has trouble getting the drive connected to and working with their computer. I was worried that the USB cord might not be long enough for me to position the drive in a location that would permit easy, convenient usage, but that was not a problem at all. Other details that I like....the cord fits in to the bottom of the drive; so when not in use or when carrying, there is no dangling cord or plugs. There is also a nice soft, slightly padded carrying case with an external zippered pocket that could store a dust cloth etc. So far, I am very happy with my purchase!

I recently purchased this drive because my laptop does not have a drive in it. I now have to use peripherals. This drive is nice because it's portable, lightweight, and most importanly, gives you two options for plugging in -- both USB A and C, and the C is universal. I had no problems plugging this directly into my Mac and the device showing up on the Mac. I was able to use it immediately to upload CDs and it worked like a charm (I used different audio conversion software than the one the product came with). It isn't the fastest upload, but it uploads quick enough, hence my rating of four stars. If it were REALLY fast then it would get 5 stars. Everything else seems to work perfectly and it's an great, portable device, especially for those of us on the go. I don't regret this purchase at all and would recommend it for those that are seeking a very affordable, portable CD/DVD drive.
