## Description

Product description

Review: Drive works fine now. - I edited my previous review several times but for some reason the edits did not ‘take’. Thus I deleted the old review, collected additional information and now post this replacement. I first bought one of these drives in November 2022. It worked great on an iMac that was, at the time, 10 years old. I imported hundreds of CDs, DVDs and blue-ray disks. It had problems with a few DVDs, but so did every other drive I tried them in. I got a second identical drive in March 2024, just in case of problems, but never needed to use it. I got a new iMac in July 2025 and the first thing I found out was that the second drive did not work when plugged into that iMac’s I/O ports. They are specified as Thunderbolt-4, and supposed to be compatible with USB-C. The first drive just worked when plugged into the same port. Obviously, the second drive was at fault, right? I even swapped the USB cables and interface PCBs inside the drives and the problem stayed with the same drive. I had to plug in a USB-C to USB-A adapter/hub and use the USB-A branch of the drive’s 2-headed cable. That worked, mostly, but not what I would call WELL. Often took multiple tries to load a disk, sometimes lost access to the disk, and was slower than the 2022 drive. The drive was the only device plugged into that hub. So, I got another drive in September 2025. That one also would only work through the USB-A connector. I used it to import 3 blue-ray disks, but when I tried CDs it could not read them. It loaded CDs, with difficulty; after multiple tries they attached to the file system and appeared on the desktop, but the drive could not read data from them. It could not play music, import tracks, or even copy raw data. After failing to read a CD, the drive locked up hard. It had to be unplugged/replugged just to eject the CD it could not read. I tried 4 CDs, they all worked in the first 2 drives, but #3 could not read any of them. desertcart replaced it with another drive that had the exact same failure. So I bought a different brand drive, which turned out to have essentially the same optical drive inside. It also had exactly the same problems. All of that was mighty frustrating. Why was every drive I bought a piece of crap? The first drive still works but it won’t last forever. I posted bad reviews of both drives. Then I began to wonder if it was a power issue. Maybe the newer drives drew more current and the port didn’t like it? I rigged up a power-only USB-A cable and tried plugging that into a second port with the USB-C to USB-A hub. No dice. Sometimes the computer didn’t see the drive, sometimes it exhibited the same old failures. So, I bought a Sabrent externally powered USB-3 hub, to avoid any more problems with cheap no-name Chinesium products. And that seems to have fixed the problem. The drive bought in 2024 now works with the USB-C connector and can read CDs, DVDs and blue-ray disks without issues. I used Mac diagnostics to check the USB bus. It showed the port, the USB-3 hub, a second USB 2.1 hub, then the drive. Both branches of the 2-headed cable are connected to the drive through a USB 2.1 hub inside the case. Bandwidth is limited to USB-2 speed. Not that bad a limitation, though; it’s still 5X faster than the optical drive can stream data. It would appear that the I/O ports on current-model iMacs are not properly compatible with current-model USB optical drives. The older drive works fine, which led me to conclude that the newer drives were entirely at fault. Instead, it was an interactive failure between the computer and the drives. Using an external USB-C hub that supplied more power made them work. Unfortunately, I have not found any way to complain to Apple about this issue.
Review: Low quality and inconsistent - I'm extremely unhappy with my purchase of this drive. The build quality is quite flimsy, and it should be a red flag to any potential buyers that the USB cable is hard wired to the device, it's not detachable or replaceable. Adding to this questionable design choice is the fact that in order to get the drive to lie flat on a desk, you have to bend the USB cable sharply to get it to fit into a little recess that's been cut out of the frame. Pretty brutal treatment for a cable you can't replace. I suppose I could live with these things since I don't have a lot of physical media these days and this isn't a device I expected to be using often, but the biggest problem is the drive's performance. The few times it worked, everything was fine. No read errors, playback was great... but that's when it worked. Most of the time, the drive seemed to be unaware that a disc had been inserted. It would briefly spin up, spin down, spin up again, spin down, or worse, it would just do nothing. Sometimes it would read the disc upon insertion, but playback or ripping would immediately fail with a "no disc inserted" error. Strangely, another problem was that even though the drive behaved as though no disc had been inserted, it would also refuse to unmount the disc and open the drive bay, whether triggered via software or the physical eject button on the drive. I can't tell you the number of times I had to paperclip this thing to retrieve a disc from the drive. Sometimes I could get the drive to behave by dropping a heavy book on the desk right next to it--the drive seemed to "wake up" and read the disc with no problems after that. But I'm not spending $90 on something where you have to "jiggle the wires" to get it to work properly. That's just pathetic. Given the number of similar complaints I've read about this thing, I have no confidence that a replacement unit will perform any better. Any company that lets this many defective units off the production line isn't getting my money. If you're feeling lucky and want to gamble that maybe you'll receive one of the good ones, then go for it--it's a good price point, and other people seem happy with theirs--but I'd advise you to keep looking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I just put a movie in and watch it or is it a more complex process?**
A: [Not an answer, but another question I need to know before I buy] I echo Brittney B.'s question: How will playing Blu-ray movies directly from the disc damage the drive? Would the video bandwidth called for be too much for the USB interface; would the disc malfunction due to irregular spin speeds because of the high bandwidth requirement? And would playing them from the hard drive even work due to the DRM/copy-protection inherent on Blu-rays? I need to know this before I buy.

**Q: Does it play on TV?**
A: It may not play directly to your TV, but most computers and laptops now adays, can "Cast" to a TV, so that would be oone way to do it.

**Q: Will this drive make it possible to import and copy my existing blu ray discs?**
A: Make MKV is a great program to use to rip Blu Rays and I use it to rip dvds for my Plex server.

**Q: hi , es region free el lector de dvd y blu ray, gracias.**
A: No, aunque se puede cambiar la zona, pero hasta un máximo de 5 veces, no me pregunten por qué cinco, porque ni idea

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good external disc drive that does the job
*by K***N on July 7, 2020*

Digital media is pretty much the new normal for many devices and many current laptops don't have built disc drives anymore. This external disc drive is a handy solution if you find yourself with a laptop without a disc drive and have some old (or new media) on discs that you would like to play, like music CDs or movies. The drive pretty much does the job at handling disc media and disc data in the same way a built in CD drive does. The drive is a good size, about the size of a standard CD, making it portable. The top surface has a very slick finish with some cool added lighting that changes color. Discs are loaded via a pop out tray, works very similarly to many PC laptops Has a built in USB cable that contains both a USB 3.0 and a USB type C connection at the end for added flexibility. There is also a micro-USB port at the back of the drive for connecting to an additional USB power source, but I haven't found myself really needing it yet since the laptop supplies power through the built USB cable. The drive works both on PCs (Windows 10) and Macs (MacOS Catalina 10.15.3). For both operating systems, the drive is very much plug and play for viewing disc data. For playback on Windows 10, Windows Media Player will play CDs. For DVD playback, I had to do a bit of digging to find something that will work in 2020, but VLC media player is a good free player that will play DVDs on Windows. On MacOS, Apple Music and Apple's DVD Player will automatically play CD and DVD media respectively. For MacOS specifically, I found that you may need to shut down and boot up your computer with the drive plugged in (versus plugging the drive into a computer that's already on) in order for the OS to recognize the external drive's CD and DVD media (versus just viewing the discs as data). You'll know if MacOS can recognize CD and DVD media if you go to System Preferences and you see "CDs & DVDs" listed. If it isn't, restart your machine with the drive plugged in. The drive also functions differently as expected on Macs for ejecting discs, requiring an eject from the MacOS software directly as opposed to the physical eject button (which works with Windows). The included manual for the drive also lists specific programs for Blu Ray playback on both Windows and Mac (PowerDVD for Windows and Macgo Blu Ray for Macs) as well as other important information. I was able to get Blu ray playback on a MacBook Pro running Catalina with the Macgo Blu-ray Player Pro (free version available with paid registration that removes a small watermark). No problems at all, picture and sound quality is top notch. All in all, a solid, capable, and very versatile disc drive that does the job on both operating systems. Very happy with it and I will definitely be using it. It's very nice being able to play some of my old disc media again at home on a computer after not being able to for a while (I normally use a MacBook Air which has no disc drive). Plus if I find other CDs from decades ago lying around containing some long lost data from college or even high school years, it'll be nice to be able to access them again for nostalgia's sake. Which is kind of how I see this device, a way to unlock nostalgia from years past. Plus the added ability to play Blu ray media (something the Apple Superdrive is unable to do) is a huge plus. Digital media is still the future, but there's still a small place for disc media for many of us (my parents especially too), and having a device to make it available on all laptops is very handy. Definitely consider buying.
