Great External Drive
Absolute bargain. Extremely easy to use, just plugged it into my MacBook and it picked the drive up right away and burned my CDs into my Apple Music account with ease. Haven’t used it for anything else yet, but am very pleased with it. I also got a scratch card in it that says I’ve won another one free (but not sure how legit that is as no one else has mentioned it in their review).

Not the sturdiest of builds - but does the job
Needed an inexpensive DVD drive to replace 20+ year-old (and now deceased) unit, so as to have access to archived docs, etc., on occasion. The Pros: - Low cost. At under £15, not a lot to wring hands over if it goes pfft after 6 months. - Does exactly what it says on the box: plug & play (Win 10 + Winn 11), reads / writes DVDs (and CDs). - No external power supply, draws directly from USB, so no need to lug additional power cords / transformers around if using it on the go. - Perfect for occasional use (who needs to used DVD drives on a daily basis nowadays?). The Cons: - The build is a little flimsy; had to glue the draw facia on to stop it falling off each time the draw opened. - USB cable might be a tad short for some desktop users (use a top USB socket if you have them available).

Such good quality
So easy to use, I take it basically anywhere I take my laptop as it’s so easy to do so being so lightweight. Had no Issues with it, it’s got two cords for different plugs which is really handy

Buy one, you won't regret it
Fantastic, worked straight away on my windows 11 PC and ideal for what I need! I would highly recommend this and I was genuinely surprised at how good this is for the price.

A Real Bargain At The Price
For the price I didn’t expect much, and hoped it would work so I could rip a few home movie dvd’s I found in my parents attack after they died a few years ago. Glad to report the drive worked perfectly with no additional software,other than the freeware for my Mac. Additionally, it’s nice to go a bit old school and listen to the hundreds of CD’s I bought back in the day. Despite music streaming services having in some cases over 100million songs. It appears most of my collection is so obscure that a good 80% of it has never found a new home on-line (1980’s Boystown/Hi-NRG before it crossed over to major labels I guess, plus maybe 150 bootlegs concerts). Being old school has its advantages and this ‘cheap as chips’ DVD/CD reader/writer does the job perfectly. I have no hestitation in recommending it.

Dud product
I was very keen to be able to play DVDs on my laptop. I saw this DVD drive, liked its appearance and the promise of what it could do so ordered it with high expectations. When it arrived, I was impressed by its appearance and weight - a very nice item. Then I plugged it in to the laptop - very simple to do - only to find it would not perform the function I bought it for - play a DVD. My laptop recognised a D/DVD drive but then I kept receiving a message to insert a disc when there was already a disc in the player. I tried numerous times with the same disappointing result - insert disc! I then connected the DVD player to my desktop. Same result. The desk top recognised the attached DVD drive but kept asking me to insert a disc when I had already put one in. Very disappointing. The only positive aspect of this transaction was how easy and smooth Amazon's returns process is. I simply took the dvd player, in its original box, down to the local Post Office, showed them a QC code I had received by email on my mobile phone, the Post Office took the item and that was it. They posted it back, free of charge and I had a full refund in my bank account the next day. Thumbs down to the product but thumbs up to Amazon.

It's ok for the price
Does work but only when it wants to. A bit like my brother.

Sono certo di aver scritto già una recensione su questo prodotto. Non so per quale motivo non ne ho traccia. Riproviamoci. La confezione risulta sufficientemente protettiva. Una volta aperta il prodotto si rivela consistente nel peso e nella fattura curata. Anche esteticamente non è affatto male. Estratto dalla sua confezione, insieme ad un libretto d'istruzioni gradito ma praticamente inutile e a un "gratta e vinci" del produttore (tra l'altro vi comunico che ho riscontro dal produttore che effettivamente si vince uno dei tre premi in palio), non resta altro che collegarlo al PC. Nel mio caso avevo necessità di leggere referti radiografici che le strutture rilasciano in formato CD. I miei classici lettori, ne ho due, da 5,25 su due diversi PC, non ne hanno voluto sapere di funzionare (sono praticamente inutilizzati da anni) e il nostro Froibetz è giunto in soccorso. Ha svolto tranquillamente la sua funzione ed ho potuto leggere il contenuto dei referti, estrarre il file immagine su HDD e successivamente farne copia su DVD-R. In sostanza si può ritenere ampiamente testata la sua capacità di lettura e scrittura poichè non ha perso un colpo. Inoltre con Windows 11 Pro 24H2 risulta praticamente plug'n'play. Sotto l'aspetto qualità/prezzo mi pare di poter dire che possa essere eletto "best buy". Sarà il tempo a dirmi se merita le 5 stelle anche in tema di longevità. A meno di €17 direi che non si possa pretendere altro. Nemmeno il tray motorizzato (ma questo anche perchè è slim e non avrebbe spazi congrui per i meccanismi elettromeccanici necessari) Amazon graniticamente efficace ed efficiente.

The internal optical drive in my 2007 iMac refused to play DVDs any more, and I'm pleased to report this item worked right out of the box as an instant external replacement. I'm currently running a very old Mac OS, 10.6.8, and all I did was plug it into a free USB port, stick a DVD in the unit, and it showed on the desktop without me doing a thing. Then it started the movie all by itself. Nice! It was completely plug and play for me. It also easily played some of the DVD movies that had given me trouble before. 6 Gold stars for ease of use! However, there is also the fact that I'd give this a score of 4 stars for the construction if I could, simply because the unit seems to be... not "flimsy," or "fragile"... but VERY lightweight in materials. There is a fair amount of play in the DVD tray when extended, and the plastic structure seems on the thinner side. It's wonderful for weight savings, but I urge caution when handling. I was careful, watched what I was doing, and had NO problems. Don't force things and you should be fine. Be aware the USB connection cable is on the short side, but not a problem in my case. For the low price I paid, I'm very happy with what I received. I will update my review if anything unexpected comes up, but at this point, I recommend it 100%.
