Easy to use, worked so well, quality product...
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.

Plug in and watch!
So far so good several times plugging the USB C unit into our MacBook Air w/latest OS. Smooth and easy disk eject too. Works as stated and stores easily in carrying case for computer.

Good CD drive. Plug and play was easy
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 .

Easy and great
Now that laptops no longer have a CD drive, one has to purchase an external drive. This had great reviews and so I purchased it. I am one who reads reviews on all products prior to making a choice. This plugs in with a USB C connection and then it’s a zip to play discs or download music CDs. The cable length is fairly short so you ah e to keep it close to your laptop but I don’t see that as a negative.

Really Works !
Yes, this device actually works ! 70 years of age now, so I do not usually write reviews of products. Bought one of these DVD players a few years ago, and I could not get it to work. So, I decided to wait a couple of years to let technology "catch-up". I have a Windows 11 Laptop; plugged in this player, and my computer made a tone. I opened Settings, and could see the disk icon in Devices. Inserted a disk, and it immediately played with Windows Media Player ! The first one I purchased; from another company; showed a notice on screen, "Windows Does Not Recognize Device. This player had no problem operating. Now I can burn all of my photo disks to flash drive. ! Would purchase again ! And now I do not have to purchase an expensive laptop with DVD Drive to burn files. For me , this is a Great Purchase and I plan on purchasing 3 more for the Grandkids next Christmas ! -Jimbo

Appearances can be deceiving
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)
