- 【Plug & Play】If all you need is a simple, reliable CD/DVD reader writer — no bulky extras or complicated setup, this ROOFULL external DVD drive won’t let you down. It’s been going strong since 2015 and has earned its place as a dependable classic. Simply plug it into your computer, and this CD drive will be recognized by your computer (On Mac, the disc drive icon will appear on the desktop after a disc is inserted and successfully read). You can then use your preferred media player, burning or ripping software to read, write, and rip your CDs and DVDs. (Scroll down for recommended software and detailed setup instructions.)
- 【True USB 3.0 High Speed】Unlike many budget drives that claim USB 3.0 but are actually USB 2.0 inside (with only 4 internal wires ), this ROOFULL external CD drive is built with a genuine USB 3.0 solution, with a full 9-wire cable, a genuine USB 3.0 PCB, and a dedicated high-speed controller chip. This allows for data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps (625 MB/s)—almost 10 times faster than USB 2.0—along with better power efficiency, more stable performance, improved data handling with full-duplex support, and full backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ports
- 【Not Just CD/DVD-ROM】This external DVD drive is not only a CD and DVD-ROM reader for playing music CDs and movie DVDs, but also a DVD/CD burner, writer, rewriter, recorder, and ripper. With this CD/DVD external drive, you can play movies or music from discs, burn music, photos, family videos, or data to blank CDs/DVDs, rip (digitize) audio CDs or video DVDs to digital files (e.g. MP3, WMA, MP4) and store to your computer, view photo discs, install software or games, and back up data for long-term storage or sharing. It handles all common formats—CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, CD+R/RW, DVD-ROM, DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM, and dual-layer DVD±R DL (VCD too). (Note: Blu-ray and 4K discs are not supported.)
- 【Wide Compatibility】This USB external CD/DVD-RW drive is compatible with laptops and desktops running Windows 11/10/8.1/7/Vista/XP/98/SE/ME/2000 or Linux, as well as Apple MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac mini/Studio with macOS 10.16 or later. For desktop PCs, it's recommended to use the rear USB port on the motherboard to ensure sufficient power.【Kindly Note】This drive is not compatible with Chromebooks, smartphones, TVs, iPads, iPhones, projectors, trucks, cars, some Surface models, or Blu-ray/4K discs
- 【Excellent Performance】As a professional manufacturer with 10 years of experience dedicated to producing reliable-quality external CD/DVD players. All ROOFULL USB CD/DVD drives are equipped with a 100% brand-new movement that features strong error-correcting, low impedance, and anti-interference ability, guaranteeing stable, quiet, and smooth operation. In addition, all CD/DVD players will go through strict testing processes before shipment to ensure the best condition. If the drive you received cannot work for any reason, just reach out to us for free tech support, a new device, or money back. (We provide up to 2 years of after-sales service for your peace of mind)
- 【Slim & Compact Design】This portable CD/DVD external drive features a classic compact design and lightweight that make it easy to slip into your laptop bag, backpack, or desk drawer—perfect for travel, work, or home use. The data cable is located on the back of the device and can be used at any time without worrying about losing it. Whether you're burning discs on the go or enjoying your favorite movies anywhere, this portable drive fits your digital lifestyle effortlessly. If you need a protective storage carrying case, you can search for "B071LGWVSL" on Amazon
- 【Other Things to Know Before Purchasing】① Due to macOS limitations, the tray cannot be opened via the button after playing or burning a disc. To eject a disc on a Mac, right-click the desktop icon and select "Eject," or go to "File" > "Eject" from the menu. ② Plug and play means no manual driver installation, but software is still required to play or burn discs. ③ Please carefully check the list of compatible devices to avoid purchasing the wrong item

These Things You Need to Know before Buying
| Incompatible Devices and Discs | This CD/DVD drive cannot play Blu-ray discs. And it is not compatible with cars, trucks, TVs, projectors, smartphones, iPhones, tablets, iPads, PS4/5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, surface (some models), Chromebooks and Ubuntu OS. |
| How to Connect to Your PC? | Please note the data cable is on the bottom of the drive (under the device). Please plug the data cable to your computer's USB port or a self-powered USB hub. |
| How to Insert Discs? | Ensure discs are placed well and not scratched. The raised fixing post in the middle of the CD drive tray has three spring buckles. You need to gently press the disc into the spring buckles to secure the disc. |
| Eject after Playing on Mac | Due to macOS limitations, the tray cannot be opened via the button after playing or burning a disc. To eject a disc on Mac, right-click the desktop icon and select "Eject," or go to "File" > "Eject" from the menu. |
| Supported Disc Types | Support the reading, burning (writing/rewriting), and ripping (digitizing) of multiple types of discs, including CD-ROM, CD-R, CD±RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±R DL, VCD, SVCD. (Blu-ray Disc is NOT supported) |
| Max Read/Write Speeds | CD-ROM 24x, CD-R 24x, CD±RW 8x, DVD-ROM 8x, DVD±R 8x, DVD±RW 8x, DVD±R DL 4x. (Tips: The drive gradually increases speed from the inner to the outer edge, with a slower startup speed that reaches maximum performance as it progresses.) |
| Note of Reading/Writing Speed | While the maximum read/write speeds for CDs are 24X and 8X for DVDs, we recommend burning or ripping at 10X or lower for CDs and 4X to 8X for DVDs. Slower speeds, such as 4X or 8X, are ideal for ensuring data integrity, especially with high-capacity or dual-layer discs. These speeds enable more precise data encoding, reducing the risk of read errors. |
| About Media Format & Burning | Before burning an audio or video disc, make sure the multimedia format is compatible with the disc, otherwise the burned disc will not play properly. You can use software (such as HandBrake or Freemake Video Converter) to convert video files to DVD-compatible formats (e.g., MPEG-2) or audio files to CD-compatible formats (e.g., WAV or MP3). |
| View Images from Discs | Some photos cannot be viewed or downloaded on Mac and Windows due to incompatible disc formats, unsupported image files, copy protection, or disc damage. Both systems support JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, HEIF, and most RAW formats, but some RAW files may need Preview, Photos, or third-party software to open. |
| Windows 11 Requirements | Windows 11 needs a media player (such as VideoLAN VLC player) and a network connection. |
