NOLYTH External CD DVD Drive for Laptop - USB C Portable Burner Player Reader Plug & Play for Mac Windows 11/10 Linux with USB 3.0 Adapter Aluminium Alloy

Brought this to use on my iMac and it works perfectly.It sits on the bottom of the iMac stand quite nicely and matches the colour good.The cable is an adequate length and the option of using usb-a or usb-c (via adapter) is handy.Simple to operate just plug and play.Ejecting is done onscreen.Not the fastest but great for my needs (putting cd’s on iMac).

I bought this as my apple external drive is well over ten years and starting to be a bit noisy, also, having upgraded my Mac, I needed to use an adapter to connect the old external drive. I thought this looked nice- and it does look ok. The C- socket drive plugged perfectly into the port, and it seemed a seamless Plug and play affair- I put in a DVD and it started working straight away. So I thought, that's great, and I tried to eject the DVD- testing done. Well. I've had to return the Drive with my DVD inside- it won't come out. I thought maybe Apple were being clever and had somehow disabled an external peripheral, so I used the adaptor and tried on my Dell machine- which is less of a mystery. I went to device manager, checked for new drivers- but the DVD is still stock inside. It plays, and it would be great if I only ever wanted to watch the same DVD unfortunately that is not the case, so I've fade good bye to my pilates DVD and returned the drive with my pilates DVD still inside. Also- I've had to pay 11.20 to return a defective machine, and my DVD. Don't make the same mistake I made- DON'T BUY THIS DRIVE- UNLESS YOU ONLY WANT TO WATCH THE SAME DVD FOR EVER MORE.1 week later, having paid 11 euros to return the item- there is still no sign of Amazon having received the package. So i've no DVD, no Refund, and I've lost an additional 11 euros on postage to return the item.

Having read other reviews I had concerns but I needn’t have I opened the box plugged it into my Mac book pro put in a cd and I got the choice of playing or importing the musicVery pleased with my purchase

A good unit, does the job and is very similar to the Apple unit. Except this unit works with my laptop but the SuperDrive didn’t!!

This dvd rom works nicely without any error in a Mac with M1 processor in case you wonder it. I have tried some others but this is the only one I have been to use it without any problem. It is perfect.After a little time, I want to leave here an extra info about it.For me works fine when recording at x4 speed. At x8 it failed and dvd was locked inside.NOTE: THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE A LOCKED DVD DISC FROM INSIDE BUT UNSCREWING PHYSICALLY but in my mac I used a virtual machine (parallels), I passed it to it and from there, in windows 11, I was able to remove the disc from inside with no problems. Or just try it in a windows pc.

The product came faulty - it was neatly tucked up in an attractive black hard shell case with a usb adaptor and manual pamphlet. I was excited because it was actually a really good imitation of the apple SuperDrive. Metal chassis , slot style cd tray. It didn’t boot so I sent it back for a refund, I was very happy to receive my money back so quickly… the reason I’m giving three stars is for customer care. The fact that it was exactly what I wanted it didn’t wor is all.

Looks good and it well packed, good cary case, However I tried it on a MacBook and a Mac Desktop with little or no success. First I tries running a music CD. This it did but I could not eject the disc afterwards. Has to logout etc several times and it finally ejected. Tries burning a much CD from tunes and message was burning failed could not find CD player. Something appeared to be on the disc but nothing would playback and again it was near impossible to eject. I tried to burn a disc three times without success. Best I managed was one track playing back on standard CD player but not the whole disc. Bought as a backup for my ageing Apple external disc should have spent the extra for a direct replacement.

Good quality, easy to use
