ROOFULL External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop Computer, USB 3.0 & USB-C

If you have a Windows 10 PC and need an external CD/DVD drive, this is the one for you! The Rooful External CD/DVD drive is as simple and easy as it gets - just plug it into a USB-C (or USB 3.0) port and Windows instantly recognizes the newly-connected drive. A few additional pros: - It is very lightweight. - The cable fits nicely into a cutout on the bottom of the drive, making it very easy to store and carry. - Both data and power come from the single USB-C (or USB 3.0) cable. There is no need for a separate power cable or bulky adapter. A few additional thoughts: - Just as with any CD/DVD drive in Windows, you must have the right software to read from or write to discs. This is not a limitation of this product - it's a well-known and long-standing "feature" of Windows. The instructions sheet that arrived with my drive included recommendations to 3 separate CD/DVD software players. If you are unable to overcome this then you should contact your child or grandchild for assistance! - I would highly recommend purchasing a padded carry case for this drive if you plan to store or carry it. Just like any other electronic equipment it could be easily damaged from bouncing around in a laptop bag unless it's properly protected. I found links to several of these cases in the "Related Products" links on the Amazon product page. - The performance of this drive is much slower than internal drives. Again, this is a limitation of the design (external/USB), not a deficiency of this product. - The cover of the model I purchased is White, like really White. I couldn't tell from the product photo whether it was gray or white. My laptop is gray and I was hoping to get a match, but there didn't seem to be a gray option (only black and white). This is not a problem, just an observation. Bottom line - this product works exactly as expected and is a perfect solution, especially for this price point!

Works fine with no hitches, easy to set up, easily plays the cd's and videos I have.

The setup was incredibly easy; I just plugged it in via USB 3.0, and it was ready to go. It also comes with a USB-C cable, which was great because my laptop has USB-C ports, and I didn’t have to worry about any adapters. The drive is compact and portable, so I can easily toss it in my bag when I need it. I’ve used it for both reading and writing discs, and it works perfectly. It reads DVDs and CDs quickly and plays my music and videos without any issues. I also used it to burn a few files to a CD, and the process was smooth with no interruptions. I’ve only knocked off one star because it’s a bit noisy when burning a CD or DVD, but it’s not overly disruptive. Overall, this is a reliable external drive for anyone who needs one for their laptop or desktop, especially since it works across various operating systems like Windows, Mac, and Linux. Would definitely recommend it for those needing an affordable, easy-to-use external drive.

I have a 2020 iMac desktop with Tahoe OS. ChatGPT recommended this CD/DVD player for my iMac. Everything it says it will do, it does. I opened CD’s from 2003 with photos. The family movies I used a FREE app called Elmedia to open them. There were some videos I had to open with Elmedia Univeral (paid app) It all worked. My old Adobe photoshop files I opened in Photopea from the internet also FREE. I ripped music from 23 year old CD’s that have been in my car, I made back in the day. Finally I decided to burn a CD, I selected the files, a window from the CD popped up but it didnt offer what I was looking for. Closed it. I selected the Folder I wanted to burn, right clicked and selected the “Burn to Disc… option. The CD burned and everything opened as expected. Disclosure, I am a paying customer, I have no affiliation with Roufull, Amazon, Elmedia, Photopea or ChatGPT.

Worked perfectly right out of the box. Super easy. Just plugged into my MacBook Air, one quick click to allow the device access, and done. It is surprisingly very light and the cord was very stiff, so the device doesn’t lay flat very well. But I just put an old box underneath it so the cord could stick out without touching the desk, (I’m sure I’ll find a more permanent solution later but for now it’s fine).

I was really hoping this External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop would do the job, but unfortunately it did not work at all for me. I followed all the instructions carefully and tried it on multiple laptops, but the device was either not recognized or failed to read discs completely. I also tried different USB ports and CDs/DVDs to make sure it wasn’t user error, but nothing changed. The build quality seemed fine at first glance, but functionality is what matters most, and sadly this product did not deliver. It was very frustrating, especially when I needed it for important files. I had to return the item.

Plug in and play! So far excellent functionality for my minimal use. Glad I purchased.

Works as described

Very happy with this product ☺️

I bought this after scrapping an perfectly good Apple Superdrive because they stopped supporting it. AlI I wanted was to have something to transfer music from CD to my Macbook and my phone. It does not burn discs but that is not something I need. I liked it has a USB and USB-C connection so it does not need a hub. I took it out of the packaging, gave a quick read of the instructions, plugged it in, waited a bit and it worked great to transfer some CDs. For Windows users it sounds like you will see an icon on your desktop. OS users will see nothing, not even an icon when it is connected. However on closing the disc tray it connected directly to the music app. At this price point it is hard to beat as I use it,

i still like cds, so going away was a problem. this played cds and dvds. so plenty to listen to when getting going, then watch when winding down. was a brilliant choice. just used with laptop. should connect with mobile also. at this point i am happy enough not to doubt it

LOVE IT!

The external DVD player arrived very promptly and was incredibly easy to set up, allowing me to start watching movies almost immediately. It has a sleek and very practical design that pairs nicely with my MacBook Pro. I initially experienced some issues with the USB-C connection, however I resolved this by switching to the USB-A connection and fortunately had the correct adapter/port available. Overall, it is simple to use and has quickly become a welcome addition to my MacBook Pro setup.
