- A: AnswerYes, it will write CDs and DVDs. The abbreviation to look for is 'RW'. If the description just said 'R', then it is read only. This model is "RW' for both CDs and DVDs which means it will both Read and Write.

Great but the included software disc sucks
It does the job! I was looking for a way to play my DVDs on my Windows 11 laptop and it is awesome. It isn't as modern-looking as other more expensive options; it's plastic/more retro-looking, like when DVDs were actually a popular thing which is kind of cool. It comes with a DVD that has media player software to download but it is insanely old and you have to pay to use it which was a hard pass so I just threw that away. I downloaded a free media player online instead called VLC which works perfectly with it to play both DVDs and CDs.
