ROOFULL External CD DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac with Case, USB 3.0 Type-C

Great CD DVD drive. I use it for my Dell laptop, and it was very easy to use. Had some software to install and this CD DVD drive was just what I needed. Simple plug and play. Love the thin design and that the USB connection cable easily stores flat on the bottom when not in use. It also came with a power cable in case needed, but so far, I have not had to use that. A perfect addition for my laptop. Now I can once again access stored and backed up files that I had on CDs. I also hope to watch DVD movies but have not tried that yet. The company was also very great and attentive to make sure everything was good. Highly recommend. UPDATE: I did put in a DVD to watch a movie and this CD DVD Drive functioned perfectly. Thumbs up all around!

My purpose for purchasing this item is to read and extract data files from a CD. I use a MacBook Air and was skeptical at first when I bought this, given numerous negative reviews saying the device isn't compatible with macOS. I still gave it a shot, considering it wasn't labeled as a frequently returned item. I'm happily surprised to find out that it is compatible with macOS. The following is the setup I used that specifically worked for me. Even though it has the ability to connect directly to usb-c, I opted to use an apple adapter to connect usb-a to usb-c. I connected the power cable to an outlet and it ran smoothly. It was plug-and-play, no installation required. Aside from the case, it is a plus that the cables with the exception of the power cable can be tucked in under the device making it more convenient when stored. Overall, I'm satisfied with this product as it served its purpose.

Purchased for my husband for viewing educational DVDs on his laptop, which does not have a built in DVD player. He had to install DVD player software since his computer didn't already have it. He found that both the recommended 5KPlayer and VLC player software apps were easy to install and easy to use. Some people may have to temporarily disable their laptop firewall for the download/installation. As for the DVD player itself, it has a nice finish, is easy to use and does what it is supposed to (play DVDs), and it seems to be sufficiently solid and well built. The extra features that he really likes are that it has both USB and USB-C connections, and that it has storage slots for these connection cords when not in use. I believe the USB connections are 3.0, which has a much faster transfer speed than than 2.0. The unit also comes with a separate cord to power the unit if needed. This would not be needed when attaching to most laptops. However, it's nice to have just in case. Lastly, he also really likes that it has a very nice padded case for the player, which is great for storage when not in use or for transporting without scratching up the unit. The case has a main compartment for the DVD unit and a smaller side pouch, both with solid zippers and nice rubber tabs that make the compartments easy to open and close. The smaller external pouch is perfect for storing the power cable and the simple printed instructions. The literature/instructions that comes with the unit is not extensive, but is adequate since it's a very simple unit to operate. The few things that might be less than ideal are: 1) the unit is a bit thicker and heavier than some other units (not an issue for use, only potentially for transporting); 2) it's a bit noisy on starting to play a DVD, although not once playing; and 3) the top does smudge a bit with handling (very minor issue). He has only had it a few days so cannot comment on durability. However overall he seems to be quite satisfied with the purchase and I believe would recommend it.

Perfect. Worked right out of the box!

This compact little drive is nearly perfect. It’s brilliantly designed, works perfectly, compact case comes with it for travel and storage. You know what you want it for so I’ll by-pass that. I say nearly perfect ONLY because the “”How to use” instructions did not say the slide deck has to be all the way out. Then you press your disc onto the rotating table. I was trying to sort of slide it in, partially opened. I emailed Support, had a detailed and courteous response within 4 hours, did as instructed, and BINGO, works perfectly.

This item fit the bill exactly. It works as advertised, and has extra ports for connections of USB devices through this drive, as well as an ethernet port, which my computer doesn't have. Its footprint is small, which is great for my work environment. It's a good value for my money.

This external CD drive is exactly what I needed! When I switched to Apple Music a few years back I didn’t think I’d ever use iTunes again so I bought a laptop with no CD drive. Recently I obtained a rare CD that cannot be streamed and I learned I could still use iTunes - enter Roofull! Foolproof to use - Literally plug it in to USB port and it’s set to go. Love that I could get it in white and the case is the ideal accessory!! I’m now loading many old CDs. Do not hesitate!!

Here is my early opinion on this disc drive after playing and ripping a few audio and data CDs: Pros -- It comes with lots of ports and features for a relatively low price. -- The power cable holder being built into the bottom of the device is helpful for traveling. -- It is truly plug and play on my Windows 11 Lenovo laptop. You don't have to download any additional software or install any drivers if you already have Windows Media Player or something similar. -- The CD reading and CD ripping speeds are neither slow nor fast, just about what you'd expect from those tasks. It took around 5 minutes for it to open and extract a data CD containing a 700 MB zip file. And it took roughly 5 minutes to rip a 280 MB music CD into .WAV lossless audio files. -- You can get a free 2-year warranty extension after emailing the manufacturer your order number. Cons -- The power cable is shorter than I would have liked. You will have to set this drive right next to your PC's USB port. -- It's so lightweight that the whole thing moves when I push the disc tray back into place after opening it. The mechanical eject button only works for sliding the tray out, not pushing it back in. -- The super highpitched whining noise that it makes while functioning is a bit ear-grating. If you have a high sensitivity to sound, you'll want to wear noise-cancelling headphones while using this drive. -- The ROOFULL logo sticker on top of the device looks cheap, so I just peeled it off so that it wouldn't be such an aesthetic eyesore. -- Whoever's packing this company's shipments is putting A LOT of faith into their foam carrying case, because that's the only protection it shipped with inside of a thin plastic bag. Final Verdict With all that said, for only $30, I'd still say that the cons are mostly just nitpicks and not dealbreakers. I currently plan on keeping this drive and just dealing with the fact that it's good but less than perfect.

The delivery time was faster than expected, the seller answered my question honestly...the drive works fast and the protective bag looks nice 👍 I'm really satisfied
