About this product
This unbranded slim external CD/DVD drive offers playback and burning capabilities for laptops, PCs, and Macs. It connects via a USB interface and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and iOS operating systems. The drive supports various CD and DVD formats for both reading and writing, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. With a write speed of 24x for CDs, it's designed for basic optical media tasks. Its compact dimensions (5.25" L x 5.25" W x 0.52" H) and black color make it a discreet addition to any setup.
Our take
If you're in the market for a simple, no-frills external optical drive, this unit gets the job done. It's especially useful for newer laptops that lack built-in CD/DVD capabilities. The USB interface provides easy plug-and-play functionality across Windows, Mac, and even iOS devices. While it only lists USB 2.0 (unlike some newer drives with 3.0 or USB-C), for standard CD/DVD read and write speeds, it's generally sufficient. The 24x CD write speed is standard, making it good for burning music or data discs. Its slim profile is definitely a plus for portability.
