External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C CD Burner Portable CD +/-RW Drive DVD Player for ROM Rewriter Burner Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows MacBook Linux Mac OS

With coupon and discount I got this for an unbelievable $15. At that price I was suspicious about its quality, but after using it in both Windows 11 and MacOS it is indeed "plug-and-play" easy. It's been working fine and there are no drivers or software to install to use. It really is plug-and-play. So far, so good, and I would recommend it. Sometimes people still need a CD with their PC to burn discs or convert their music to digital MP3 files. It plays and burns DVDs, too.

Yes! Works as I'd hoped. I also got an interactive disk from my doctor's and this was compatible with it and read the disk. Very happy with this; it was the most affordable option I could find and works great. The cord is short, maybe 6 inches long, so it will need to stay close to whatever you're plugging it in to. The cord also tucks in to the back side so it is very compact. I plugged it in to my computer and the device was recognized immediately so it is also very easy to use. I'd recommend.

Purchase made in April 2023. I was looking for an inexpensive dvd burner drive for my home video/data burning. Looked thru most of the buyer reviews on this drive. About 1/3 of the people gave bad reviews mostly saying the drive didn’t work one way or the other. After considering the Pros (price <$20, slim case, USB 3 with USB C adapter, 2/3 positive reviews) and Con (1/3 bad user experiences and reviews), I have decided to give it a try mostly because I can always return it within the allowed Amazon return policy. The drive was delivered on time. Inside the dvd drive box is a simple instruction manual, the dvd drive and the USB C adapter tuck on the side which when the drive is pulled from the box fell out easily and could be lost if not careful. I immediately did several tests to see if the drive works because of the bad reviews I saw. Test 1: I plug the drive into my win10 laptop USB 2 socket. The drive powered on as expected with the little orange light shown for a short period of time on the front of the drive and Win10 recognized it as a DVD drive and assigned a drive letter to it. I then run a printer installation disc to install the printer driver to my laptop. The driver installed without any issues. So Test 1 passed. Test 2: I plugged the drive into my desktop USB C socket using the USB C adapter that comes with the drive. The little orange light comes on as expected and my desktop Win10 recognize it as a DVD drive and assigned a driver letter to it. I inserted a home video DVD disc I burned with another drive and played the video using the free 5kplayer downloaded from the internet. No issue so Test 2 passed. Test 3: I inserted a blank DVD disc and moved about 2 GB of data onto the blank disc and use the default burning ability that comes with Win10 ( right click on the DVD burner icon in Windows Explorer and select burn to disc) and the data burned on to the DVD at 8x speed without any issue. I verified the data by opening a PDF file on the disc and it opened as expected. so Test 3 passed. It also runs quite compared to the older dvd drive I had in my laptop. Based on the tests I done above, the inexpensive dvd drive works as advertised. Due to the short time I had this drive, no comment on the longevity of the drive. Suggested improvement to the manufacturer. Put a nylon string on the USB C adapter and have the string tie to the USB 3 cable so it will not get lost easily. Many other electronics I saw on the market now that comes with an adapter has done something similar and should not cost much to do for this drive. Overall I will give it 4 stars. If the adapter can be fixed to the usb cable with a nylon tie, I would have given this drive 5 stars. Of course I would also like the cable to be longer but it might not be feasible to maintain the compactness of the drive. So this is just a want not something against the manufacturer.

shipped safely and swiftly and is easy to use with new computer and old disks

I plugged the Ziweo USB 3.0 external DVD drive into my Dell Laptop computer (Win 11). The computer recognized the device as USB Drive (E:) and I checked for updated drivers….it said the device is working properly. But I had the following issue: I could not get the drive to physically open….The device’s light did not come on when I plugged it in to a USB port (note: I tried the device in my two USB 3.0 ports and the USB ‘C’ port without luck). Also the front button did not work, it did not pop open the drive door to allow me to insert a CD).I emailed Ziweo customer support about this issue and they responded within 24 hours but the only help provided was that I should send it back for a refund or replacement. I had wasted over an hour on trying to get it to work and have sent it back for a refund (I did not want a replacement, don't trust getting another defective drive). Have since ordered another external drive from another company.

I needed this for VBS. It came the very next day and works perfectly.

It works. But not sure how to watch dvds on it while plugged into my laptop. The instructions weren’t very clear on that part. But yeah works fine.

works like charm - no problems at all
