ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac with Case, USB 3.0 Type-C

Great CD DVD drive. I use it for my Dell laptop, and it was very easy to use. Had some software to install and this CD DVD drive was just what I needed. Simple plug and play. Love the thin design and that the USB connection cable easily stores flat on the bottom when not in use. It also came with a power cable in case needed, but so far, I have not had to use that. A perfect addition for my laptop. Now I can once again access stored and backed up files that I had on CDs. I also hope to watch DVD movies but have not tried that yet. The company was also very great and attentive to make sure everything was good. Highly recommend. UPDATE: I did put in a DVD to watch a movie and this CD DVD Drive functioned perfectly. Thumbs up all around!

My purpose for purchasing this item is to read and extract data files from a CD. I use a MacBook Air and was skeptical at first when I bought this, given numerous negative reviews saying the device isn't compatible with macOS. I still gave it a shot, considering it wasn't labeled as a frequently returned item. I'm happily surprised to find out that it is compatible with macOS. The following is the setup I used that specifically worked for me. Even though it has the ability to connect directly to usb-c, I opted to use an apple adapter to connect usb-a to usb-c. I connected the power cable to an outlet and it ran smoothly. It was plug-and-play, no installation required. Aside from the case, it is a plus that the cables with the exception of the power cable can be tucked in under the device making it more convenient when stored. Overall, I'm satisfied with this product as it served its purpose.

Here is my early opinion on this disc drive after playing and ripping a few audio and data CDs: Pros -- It comes with lots of ports and features for a relatively low price. -- The power cable holder being built into the bottom of the device is helpful for traveling. -- It is truly plug and play on my Windows 11 Lenovo laptop. You don't have to download any additional software or install any drivers if you already have Windows Media Player or something similar. -- The CD reading and CD ripping speeds are neither slow nor fast, just about what you'd expect from those tasks. It took around 5 minutes for it to open and extract a data CD containing a 700 MB zip file. And it took roughly 5 minutes to rip a 280 MB music CD into .WAV lossless audio files. -- You can get a free 2-year warranty extension after emailing the manufacturer your order number. Cons -- The power cable is shorter than I would have liked. You will have to set this drive right next to your PC's USB port. -- It's so lightweight that the whole thing moves when I push the disc tray back into place after opening it. The mechanical eject button only works for sliding the tray out, not pushing it back in. -- The super highpitched whining noise that it makes while functioning is a bit ear-grating. If you have a high sensitivity to sound, you'll want to wear noise-cancelling headphones while using this drive. -- The ROOFULL logo sticker on top of the device looks cheap, so I just peeled it off so that it wouldn't be such an aesthetic eyesore. -- Whoever's packing this company's shipments is putting A LOT of faith into their foam carrying case, because that's the only protection it shipped with inside of a thin plastic bag. Final Verdict With all that said, for only $30, I'd still say that the cons are mostly just nitpicks and not dealbreakers. I currently plan on keeping this drive and just dealing with the fact that it's good but less than perfect.

I needed an external CD drive for a new laptop. The description for this one met all of my needs and there were plenty of positive reviews. The item arrived quickly and was well packaged. The drive comes with two USB cables; one that is attached to the drive and securely fits in a groove on the bottom of the drive. Very convenient! I plugged it in for the first time and within five seconds it was ready to rip. I ripped four CDs into my ITunes folder the first time I used the device and there were no issues. The drive also comes with a very nice, well padded carrying case that has a zippered pouch on it to store the paperwork and spare USB cable. I wasn't expecting that. It makes it so much easier to carry around and travel with. If you are looking for a reasonably priced CD drive, look no further, this one is great!

I got this to go with my new all in one PC. And since it is all white I want everything to match. And this does. I actually love the design of it. Very contemporary. The cord is a bit short but I have a seperate USB connector for that reason because you do not get a lot of USB ports with an all in one. But it is very stylish, and so far have used it a few times and the speed to RIP my cd's was pretty fast. It does make a little bit of noise, but that does not bother me. It doesn't last long for one thing and two, at least I know it is working. While playing a music disc however I do not notice any unusual noise and I have pretty sharp hearing. I saw other comments about it not sitting flat because the USB cord will store underneath it, which I actually like. No worries about losing or misplacing a power cord. But I do not have this problem. After you have taken the cord out and before you plug it in, the cord does have a rather short corner there, if you gently maneuver the cord so it is actually running through the open space, then you shouldn't have this problem. I am just guessing this is the issue because I almost did it myself. But then I am pretty detail oriented and could see right away that must be the culprit behind the few complaints I have seen. So for anyone reading this I hope that helps to clear up that problem for someone. Mine sits perfectly flat, opens and closes nicely and so far am not having any issues with it at all. I am very happy with mine, the price was competitive with other similar ones and I would recommend it to anyone just looking for an external CD/DVD RW. I have not yet used the record feature which I will be doing. But do not feel as though I will have any issues. In the event I do, I will update my review. Stay safe and again I hope I helped with one issue and should you buy one, hopefully it will work as well for you.

I bought the Roofull External DVD-RW Drive to watch the DVD versions of the TV series LANDMAN. It comes in a nice soft-sided carrying case that zips closed. An external pocket on the case contains a connecting cord that has a USB 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other end. That small pocket also zips closed. I did not need that cord, as a connecting cord is already attached to the player--this cord folds neatly into a slot on the bottom of the player. The connecting cord has both a USB 3.0 connector and a USB-C connector on it. I used the USB-C connector since I could set the DVD player right next to my laptop, which is a Dell 13" XPS computer. I called up a DVD player app; inserted the DVD of the series in the player; and the episodes displayed immediately on the laptop screen. I clicked on the episode I wanted, and the player started immediately. The player worked perfectly and was very easy to connect to the laptop. I was extremely satisfied with the purchase--good value for the price.

This compact little drive is nearly perfect. It’s brilliantly designed, works perfectly, compact case comes with it for travel and storage. You know what you want it for so I’ll by-pass that. I say nearly perfect ONLY because the “”How to use” instructions did not say the slide deck has to be all the way out. Then you press your disc onto the rotating table. I was trying to sort of slide it in, partially opened. I emailed Support, had a detailed and courteous response within 4 hours, did as instructed, and BINGO, works perfectly.

I'm reviewing the ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac with Case, USB 3.0 Type-C. It works great - simple plug and play on a Macbook Air. Couldn't ask for anything easier. Since I only need it occasionally, I love the storage case.

The delivery time was faster than expected, the seller answered my question honestly...the drive works fast and the protective bag looks nice 👍 I'm really satisfied
