External CD DVD Drive, USB 2.0 Slim Protable External CD-RW Drive DVD-RW Burner Writer Player for Laptop Notebook PC Desktop Computer, Black

The biggest problem I have recently experienced with having an old computer is finding a CD drive to work with this old computer. The internal drive either no longer worked or they disabled it so it does not read audio CDs hence the need to find something in order to complete the task. I tried an Apple super drive external CD reader/writer and that was not recognized by computer, that is ironic because these are both Apple products, although believable because my computer so old. I ended finding this unit on Amazon and decided to give it shot. The unit showed up the next day in the standard brown box, I did not read the directions and that caused a minor delay in getting this unit operational. There will be 2 USB cables, one will plug into the computer and the other must plug into an electrical source and that cannot be your computer. Also worth noting, your computer will not see this unit until you insert a CD into the drive. Once you do that the magic begins. I was able to copy 136 songs off a variety CDs and that landed in my apple music / itunes account. Then those songs were uploaded into my phone without issue. It is without a doubt this little drive was worth the money and I highly recommend this unit for older computer owners who are having a tough time finding a CD drive that will work on their system.

I Purchased this because I’ve found some CDs with family photos on them and nowadays, computers and laptops do not have a CD drive. This was easy to use. I just plugged it into the back of my computer pop to CD in and it read it just like if your computer has a CD drive. I found old movies of my kids and old pictures when they were younger. I’m so glad I found this adapter so we could enjoy them.

Do not buy this piece of junk. Will not burn DVDs so that they work. Will not install ISOs downloaded onto your computer. Very noisy which means it is not working properly. The outer fave plate keeos coming off. Have not had this for even two weeks and had to buy another one. I do not recommend this product or this vendor at all.

Edit: I forgot to mention that it needs Two ports to even make it work which could be a reason not to get it. I don't like that it takes two ports, but it still works. So the first drive I got from this company didn't work. I plugged it in and the drive was found almost immediately, but when I put in a disc and tried to run it, it opened the tray and said to insert disc. I tried all the methods the internet told me about about and it still didn't work. I proceeded to chat with an amazon employee to maybe get another one to replace or a refund and they decided to send me another one and for me to send the first one back. My second one works perfectly fine. It can get loud sometimes, and if the DVD player is not on a flat surface, the disc tray will not close easily. So I recommend if you are going to buy this product and it doesn't work, it may just be the one they sent to you and you should try to get a replacement.

I just got Windows 11. Old computer died. I put my Tommy O albums on CD for a few people and this year is 4 instruments for Christmas CD! Thanks

I bought this back in 2022. I used it a couple times and it worked perfectly, stored it away properly (making sure to not put anything on top of it) and i tried to use it recently but it does not work. The little green light that indicates it’s on blinks for a little bit and then it turns off, not sure what i am doing wrong. I thought it might’ve been because i was trying to use it with Windows 11 instead of 10 but it doesn’t work with any device i try now :(

Works great

I just plugged it into my Lenovo laptop, put in my movies and watched with no problem. It is exactly what I wanted because my bluray player in not compatible the tv I have in my room. I bought one ext. disc drive and it did not work with windows 10 and the return window was closed so I got stuck with it. I am glad I did not follow some of the negative reviews I read before buying this one. I am happy with it and now I can watch my Netflix rentals. Please note: you need VLC media player for it to work which I had on my computer from trying the previous one I bought.

Compared to previous, much more expensive cd/dvd dev that I replaced with, I am very happy with the speed and results

It is quite quick and reads my disks without trouble. Really a great buy.

Handled good

I assumed that this would work on my iPad with an adapter. It did not.
