Gone are the days where every computer needed a disk drive to run games, media, burn and write. Computers today almost no longer come with drives anymore since storage and internet has taken over. I occasionally like to run old DVD and cd games I have saved from years ago, and also needed a drive to record and burn images and videos. I took a chance and bought this during a lighting deal and I’m so impressed.
First, I was impressed with how light it is. It has a nice build quality feel to it. Has a smooth metal finish. It connects via USB and uses 3.0 for faster speeds. Running Windows 10 on my newly built computer, it detected it immediately. Within 10 seconds I was already watching a DVD movie and also playing old PC games. When done, I simply unplug, tuck the USB wire into a slot that tucks it away, and save it for later use. For the price, I highly recommend this!

Doesn’t work well at all, it freeze when reading a DVD, the burnt copy will play very choppy and freeze half a second every 2 sec of play. Better spend more money for a better option, this one’s a waste!

Guessing this drive’s reviews are from fake accounts because this drive is a cheap piece of garbage. I think I was able to rip 10 cds before it started clicking and have the front LED indicator light flashing off and on. I understand fully you get what you pay for, but this is a portable dvd drive, the tech has been around for awhile now. I usually plan on this China-made junk lasting at least a year, pretty sad when I can’t even get more than 10 cds out of devices these days.
I waited well past the time to get a refund, so that is too bad, but I wanted to warn others not to believe all the positive reviews. As I am typing this the drive cannot read the disc I have in it. I wanted an external drive to do the heavy lifting of ripping my cd collection onto my computer to keep my computer’s drives from so much wear. Going with this garbage drive I would only need to buy about $2000 worth of these devices to complete my ripping project. Suddenly, the cheap electronics from China aren’t so cheap. Looks like one of my internal drives gets to rip my Kamelot Silverthorn album tonight. Save your money avoid this junk.
UPDATE: I decided to take this drive apart to see what it had under the plastic shell. As you can see from the photos it is a repurposed Lenovo drive manufactured in 2013. Before you buy one of these “cheap” drives know what you are likely getting. If it works great, consider yourself lucky.

Cheap DVD drive and seemed like a quick fix to burn some downloaded music to a CD. Arrived quickly, packaged well. It just doesn’t work.
Tried it first with a USB 3.0 hub. The light comes on the drive, but pressing the button does nothing. After pressing it a couple of times the light actually went out. Unplugging and plugging back in juiced it up again but it just goes out again.
Next I tried plugging directly into my Surface Pro USB. No adapter or anything, just a direct connection. Same result.
I tried using Windows Media Player and PowerDVD. Drive isn’t recognized. Checked the Windows drivers and everything appears to be up to date. It even looks like the drive is showing in the hardware list. No noise, no spinning, can’t open the disc drive. If you pick it up and move it around the little light shuts off and you have to unplug/plug again.
Another gripe is that the USB cord is hard-wired into the drive and it’s like 6-8″ long. If you’re right handed and using a laptop with USB ports on the right side you’ll have to find someplace to put the drive if you use a mouse.
I went ahead and ordered an LG for a little more money. Amazon’s return policy is decent other than having to drop it off at a UPS Store. Especially when there’s a truck that could grab it when making delivery almost every other day.

First off: WHAT ROCKET SCIENTIST came up with the HARD WIRED CABLE that is on this thing??? It’s bound to be a problem and then you can’t even replace it! It’s also only about a foot long, if that! So you are EXTREMELY limited as to where and how you set the DVD up. Secondly, it will NOT WORK if you do not attach it to your system DIRECTLY! That means NO HUB use at all. I have a very good POWERED usb 3.1 hub and it does not even recognize it. Third and most important, although it does run fairly quiet, it gets warm and freezes! PASS on this one…..going back!

The usb casing is a generic unit, the drive inside appears to be laptop salvage. When I plugged the unit in, it failed to write a DVD. Having nothing to really loose, I opened it up and found that the drive inside was manufactured in October of 2008. Looking at the pictures I uploaded, you can see the scratches on the drive. Definitely not a new unit.

If you’re not getting any response from this player, try establishing the Country you live in.
Device Manager > right click DVD/CD Rom > Properties > Region

Product works just fine. But the seller included a “Warranty Card” with a link to complete a survey so that you can claim your $10.00 amazon gift card. The survey requires you to include a screenshot of your review on the product. Not sure it’s legal to “purchase” reviews from customers this way. Not only that, but I haven’t received any indication that I’m getting a gift card. Seems like a scam.

I purchased this device for my music and video production laptop and I’m happy with my purchase. It maxes out at 8x write speed, which is fine for me because I prefer slower write speeds to avoid errors. It’s highly portable and lightweight, and one feature I really like is that the USB cord is integrated into the device, so no more searching for the right USB cord when I want to use it. I will say that upon first use my burning software wouldn’t recognize the device, and the directions make a mention of formatting but are still pretty vague. To fix this, I installed software for reading/playing DVDs (I like VLC) and attempted to play a DVD in the external drive. Once that was successful, my burning software read the device and burned DVDs without any issues. That is the reason for the 4 stars for easy to use, as I feel the directions could be more detailed in this matter. Other than that, it delivers what it promises and I’m happy with it.

You have to CHANGE THE REGION on the reader to make it work.. It’s region 1 (one). I’ve tried many things before that and it never worked. After changing the region it all went well.
You’re gonna find the region number in the “Properties” of the hardware in your Parameters.. It’s a right click on the hardware..

Long story, short: I just plugged it in and it works! Have already installed on your computer: Windows 10, VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player.
Long story, long: I have an HP laptop, late 2016 model. It has Windows 10, VLC Media and Windows Media player on it. The instructions have such a tiny font, I had to use reading glasses and a magnifying glass! But I tossed that aside and just plugged it in.
I put in a CD. Windows said, “what would you like to do?” I chose play the CD. It did. Check.
I put in a blank CD. Windows said, “what would you like to do?” I chose burn a CD. Having picked songs and “Start burn” Windows said “Your drive doesn’t support gapless burning. Would you like to turn off gapless burning and continue to burn the disc?” I said “Yes”. It churned away for 5 to 7 minutes and popped out the burned CD. I popped in the burned CD and it played it OK. It does put a few seconds gap in between the songs, but that’s what I wanted, so I didn’t want gapless burning anyway. Guess that’s more of a DJ thing. So, check!
I put in a DVD. It didn’t ask me anything, but I navigated to the CD burner drive and double clicked on it and it brought up VLC Media player and started to play the DVD. Check!
Haven’t tried burning a DVD. I did try to play a Blu-ray, but as described, this does not play Blu-ray DVDs.
