Amicool External DVD Drive USB 3.0 USB C CD Burner CD/DVD +/-RW Optical Drive, Slim Portable DVD CD ROM Rewriter Writer Duplicator for Laptop Desktop PC Windows 11/10/8/7 MacBook Mac Linux OS Apple

This thing is a total lifesaver if you're super cheap like me and still have old DVD's of programs that they now charge monthly fees for. I had to upgrade my laptop and after reviewing the prices QB and Office now charge monthly I decided to dig out my old DVD's and give this thing a go (especially since there really is nothing new about the recent versions that the older ones don't have). Well, this thing worked like magic with not one issue. Plugged it in and just went. I was able to put Quickbooks, Office, Jasc Paint and full Adobe Photoshop and Image Ready from CD's. I also have an older car that still plays CD's so I am going to continue to burn from iTunes. I haven't tried it with this yet, but will update when I do. Would definitely recommend. So glad I found this and crazy easy to use.

I needed to retrieve some data off of an old CD. This worked well and was just plug and play. I have had it for a little while and now I use it to play music cd's while I am working on the computer. It is holding up well .

Seems cheaply made but it works great. I plugged it into my Mac and it started right up. Cord length could be a bit longer but not necessary. Easy to use, no installation. Only key point to know is if you’d like to eject your dvd….you need to drag the dvd icon to the trash (on your mac)

Works perfectly. Works as any other disk drive should and has, my computer recognizes it immediately. I love the option of USB / USB C I didn’t need to install anything third party, just plug in and it immediately works - Super easy, and it doesn’t make that much noise

I recently purchased an LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer: After many tries, I could not get either of my Windows 11 machines to recognize it. I went to my Device Manager to update the LG drivers and was instructed to do that from the LG site. From LG's Portable Disc Writer support page I got "No Downloads Available". From Microsoft I got instructions for making registry changes, but I prefered not to do that. I returned the LG unit to Amazon and decided to try the Amicool External DVD Drive: As soon as it arrived, I plugged it in to a USB port and it showed up on my screen as a DVD drive, no install software needed. Most of my disc burning is music files to CD-R discs, so I tried copying some MP3 songs, using AnyBurn software - everything worked easily. So far, this disc writer does the job - and its disc tray feels sturdier than the LG one - and it's all a few bucks less expensive, too.

Works as it should, plug and play

Connected to Linux Mint running on a mid-2010 Mac Mini. Used it to digitize all my old music CDs I found in my store room. Took about 5 days and was really impressed by how well it read some of the more abused discs in my collection. Out of +/-250 CDs it failed to copy 3 of them, all of which had actual cracks in the discs. It runs really quiet even when it's working hard. I burned a disc just because I actually still have blank DVDs and it took about 5 minutes to burn a 2.8GB ISO to DVD. All in all, I worked this thing pretty hard and it exceeded my expectations.

Good product, works better on windows than mac though!

Perfektes externes DVD-Laufwerk – schnell, zuverlässig und vielseitig! Ich habe das Amicool Externe DVD Laufwerk gekauft, um es mit meinem Laptop und Desktop-PC zu nutzen, und bin rundum begeistert! Die Installation war denkbar einfach – einfach anschließen und sofort einsatzbereit. Dank der USB 3.0- und USB-C-Schnittstellen ist das Laufwerk mit den neuesten Geräten kompatibel und liefert beeindruckend schnelle Übertragungsraten. Das Design ist schlank und modern, und durch das leichte Gewicht ist es ideal für unterwegs. Es fühlt sich dennoch robust und langlebig an, was Vertrauen in die Verarbeitung schafft. Egal ob Lesen oder Schreiben von CDs und DVDs, das Laufwerk arbeitet leise und zuverlässig ohne Aussetzer oder Fehler. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die Kompatibilität mit verschiedenen Betriebssystemen – ich habe es sowohl unter Windows 10 als auch unter Linux getestet, und es hat problemlos funktioniert. Auch auf meinem MacBook gab es keine Schwierigkeiten. Besonders praktisch finde ich die Plug-and-Play-Funktionalität, da keine zusätzlichen Treiber erforderlich sind. Ob für Backup-Zwecke, das Abspielen von DVDs oder das Brennen von CDs, das Laufwerk meistert jede Aufgabe mit Bravour. Insgesamt bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit diesem Kauf. Das Amicool Externe DVD Laufwerk bietet eine hervorragende Leistung zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Eine klare Empfehlung für jeden, der ein zuverlässiges und vielseitiges externes DVD-Laufwerk sucht!

Cumple con lo que se describe en el producto, el único detalle que encuentro es que no aparece como detectado por el equipo, solo al momento de grabar si aparece el nombre de la unidad.

The DVD drive works as promised. Its plug and play and do not need any setup.

Good price, fast delivery from OS and quality product.

Bin sehr zufrieden. Der Preis stimmt. Gerät läuft sehr leise. DVD's & CD's liefen einwandfrei.
