Our take
For those needing to read or write CDs and DVDs on modern machines, this external drive offers good flexibility. The dual USB 3.0 Type A and Type C interface is particularly useful, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of laptops and PCs. The read and write speeds for both CDs and DVDs are standard for an external unit, providing reliable performance for everyday tasks. The ABS material suggests a lightweight, functional build, and being USB-powered simplifies its use without needing an extra power adapter. The inclusion of a one-year warranty adds a layer of reassurance for an unbranded product.
