【The Ultimate External CD/DVD Drive for Your Laptop or PC】Since most modern laptops and desktops lack a built-in CD/DVD drive, this simple and reliable external USB 3.0 & USB-C CD/DVD drive is the perfect solution for reading and burning your discs. Simply connect this external CD/DVD RW drive to your laptop or desktop, and your PC will automatically recognize it (Mac will display the icon after inserting a disc). Insert your CD or DVD, and use a media player, burning, or ripping software to read, write, and rip your discs. It's as easy as using a built-in optical drive! (Scroll down for detailed steps and recommended software). 【What Can You Do With It?】This isn't just an external CD and DVD reader; it's also a high-speed CD and DVD burner, rewriter, recorder, and ripper. With this CD/DVD adapter, you can use a media player app (like VLC Player, Windows Media Player, Apple Music/iTunes, etc.) to enjoy your music CDs, movie DVDs, or self-burned discs. Use burning software to burn MP3 music, videos, photos, or data onto blank CD or DVD discs. Or, use ripping software to digitize/import music, videos, photos, or files from CD/DVDs to your computer. Plus, you can even use it to install software, games, and operating systems from CD or DVD. 【High-Speed Data Cable & Separate Power Cable】The data cable, embedded in the drive's base, features both USB 3.0 & USB-C connectors, making it easy to connect to various laptops or desktops without needing an adapter or worrying about losing the cable. USB 3.0 is an upgraded version of USB 2.0, offering faster data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gigabit/s, approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0. If the CD drive can't get enough power through a single data cable, use the included power cable for extra power from a USB port on your PC or a USB power adapter/bank. (Note: The power cable is not a data cable; avoid using it independently). 【Slim and Portable DVD Player】This slim external optical drive is designed to be compact and portable, making it easy to take with you wherever you go (home, office, or on the road). It's also a great gift idea for hobbyists who collect CDs and DVDs. 【Important Information Before You Buy】① This USB disc drive is not compatible with Chromebooks, phones, iPads/tablets, cars, projectors, TVs, PS4/5, Xbox, and Blu-ray/4K discs. ② Due to macOS limitations, the tray cannot be opened via the button after playing or burning a disc. To eject a disc on Mac, right-click the desktop icon and select \"Eject,\" or go to \"File\" > \"Eject\" from the menu. ③ The USB 3.0 Type-C data cable is located at the bottom (under the drive), while the separate power cable is used to provide extra power and cannot be used independently. ④ Plug and play means no manual driver installation is required, but software is still needed to play or burn discs.
