    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!
