AGPTEK External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop, USB 3.0 Slim DVD Burner with Ethernet Adapter, USB Ports and TF/SD Card Slots, CD/DVD Player Reader/Writer for Laptop, PC, MacBook, Windows, Linux, Mac OS. Ensure the drive is recognized: Insert the external optical drive into the computer. After the Windows system recognizes the optical drive, the "DVD RW Drive" icon will be displayed. The Mac OS computer will not display the device icon until the disc is placed in the optical drive and the disc is read successfully. If the computer fails to recognize the optical drive, it may be that the computer's driver is missing or the output current is insufficient. About data cable & power cord: 1.The USB data cable is built into the bottom of the drive. (Note: The total length of the data cable is only about 10.24 inches / 26 cm.) 2.The charging cord is a separate USB cord that comes with the package. The charging cord cannot be used as a data cable alone, it must be used together with the USB data cable built into the back of the drive. 3.It's better to use the 5V charger/power bank to increase the power if your computer don't have enough power to support the external drive.(Note: For the Apple computers, you need to connect the external CD/DVD drive to the mac/macbook/imac through the USB A/C data cable first, and then connect the 5V charger/power bank to the external CD/DVD drive through the charging cord, otherwise the Apple computer will not recognize the external CD/DVD drive.). WINDOWS 11 Requirements: WINDOWS 11 needs a media player (such as VLC ) and a network connection. Reading and writing speed: 1.This CD/DVD drive supports USB 3.0 and can provide data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. Although it has up to 8x DVD read/write speed and 24x CD read/write speed, the drive reads and writes CD/DVD discs at speeds that increase from the inner circle to the outer circle, and the starting speed is usually lower, reaching the maximum speed when reaching the outermost circle. 2.Recommended speeds (CD: Reading Speed: 24x or lower/Writing Speed: 8x to 16x; DVD: Reading Speed: 8x or lower/Writing Speed: 4x to 8x). For DVDs, slower writing speeds like 4x or 8x are often ideal to ensure data integrity, particularly for high-capacity or dual-layer discs. These speeds allow for more precise data encoding, reducing the risk of read errors in the future. Important Note Before Purchase: This external dvd drive for pc only works when connected to a laptop or desktop computer. It is not compatible with cars, TVs, projectors, tablets, iPads, smartphones, PS4/PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Chromebooks, or Blu-ray players. To eject a disc on a Mac computer, you need to right-click the desktop icon and select "Eject", or select "File" > "Eject" from the menu. Because due to the limitation of mac OS, the eject button on the dvd drive will not work. If your computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive, check the computer's drivers and provide additional power to the optical drive.

Awesome Saucesome Opossum DVD Writer
I absolutely love this DVD writer!! I've been trying to convert a lot of old family footage from DVD RAM, DVD R, and DVD-RW, and this was one of the only options available and it's super affordable! It's also really conveniently sized, so it's great for portability! I just connect the (Male Micro-USB to USB-A) power cord it came with to a USB-A to USB-C male adapter so I can connect it to my Macbook Pro 2023. I've also been using it to burn CD's for myself and my friends, and it's really quick and quiet reading and writing everything!! :D

Now a "must have?"
Recently built my first desktop that DIDN'T include any internal optical drive. With this, and the fact that most higher end laptops don't have optical drives, this was a great purchase when on sale. What's nice is that this is still a "tray" and not a "slot drive," so the media won't move. The USB 2.0 cable is the ONLY cable you need, no additional power connection. Plug and play, works like a charm. I still create DVD videos to share with my family (read: grandparents) but not often enough to warrant an internal drive. Since this can be used with various computers, laptop, desktop, it's a great resource to have laying around. The drive is really small, as somebody who has been into building and upgrading computers for almost 20 years I can't believe this is only powered by ONE USB cable

Surprisingly Perfect!
I was a little skeptical at first. This DVD/CD player and burner was marked at such a low price, I figured something had to be wrong with. However, I took it out of the box and didn’t even need to read any instructions. It was fairly self-explanatory. I wanted to catalog my CD collection, since it’s all digital now and goes with you in our pocket computers. I haven’t had any issues whatsoever, it has worked great and for only 20 bucks, there is no way another one could come close!
