Rioddas External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop, USB 3.0 CD DVD Player Portable +/-RW Burner CD ROM Reader Writer Disk Duplicator Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows Apple Mac Pro MacBook Linux

Good, basic DVD player. I attach it to my laptop to watch movies while cooking or getting ready in areas where we don't have a TV or DVD player. It works great. I wish it would remember where I left off on the movie.

Simple plug in and use. It plays my music CDs with ease (I have a windows laptop) and also let's you burn CDs! Haven't tried it on DVDs yet, but I'll edit this when I have! It's very small and compact, so great for travel. Eject button worked great, design was simple and nice.

I'm not technically inclined, so it did take a bit of time to download the necessary app. [BTW, device works only with the proprietary app.] I've only used one commercial DVD so far [Dexter so, if it matters.] But playback went well, nice & crisp, good sound. I don't need a bunch of bells & whistles, just the typical viewing-- play, FF, REW, pause, skip. Those worked just fine.. CONS I would have liked a 10-30 second rewind, as I sometimes miss a sentence or piece of action. The disc tray is slow to respond & needs to be manually extended to place/remove the disc. I've heard this is standard on an external drive, but it still bothers me. All in all, it does all it needs to & is worth the money. The cable is short. But that's probably a safety thing.

It's working ok for me. I've got a bunch of images on old CD discs, that I need to transfer onto a more modern storage device. Price is extremely reasonable.

Good item plug and play connectivity , quality good . Easy and portable to carry. Easy to use. Compatible for every device. Highly recommended

Very nice cd reader/burner. Easy to use. Plug and play.

*REVISED* The company contacted me and sent a replacement. It arrived promptly and works well. Original review below, but I am happy with the replacement. **** Unreliable trash that broke after burning 10 CDs. It just keeps ejecting CDs. Save your pennies and buy a better device. This thing is for the birds.

Rioddas External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop, USB 3.0 CD: Great bargain. It's well built, opens & closes smoothly and has no issues. I use it to play DVD movies on my lower end HP laptop. I haven't used it to read or burn CDs. The only thing I don't like is the hardwired short cable. It's inconvenient for storage. I would've preferred no cord at all, to use a separate long cable. As it is, I use an uncommon (USB-A 2.0 male to female) extension cable to keep the drive out of the way.
