If your new laptop doesn’t have a built-in CD/DVD drive, or your old one has stopped working, this USB 3.0 external CD/DVD drive is a perfect solution. Whether you want to enjoy your old music CDs, watch classic DVDs, or burn new discs, this drive has you covered.

With this high-speed external drive, you can easily burn music onto blank CDs to enjoy in your car or stereo, burn home videos or family memories to DVDs for safekeeping or sharing, rip/import music from your favorite CDs and save it to your computer in digital formats like MP3 or WAV, or view photos CDs or medical CDs (like X-rays or reports from your doctor). It’s also ideal for installing software, recovering systems from discs, or backing up important files to a disc for long-term storage. It’s a versatile tool for anyone who still uses CDs or DVDs.

Setting it up is a breeze. Simply plug the drive into your computer using the included USB cable, and it will be automatically recognized—no extra drivers or complicated steps. For Mac users, just insert a disc, and once it’s recognized, the drive icon will appear on your desktop. Then, use your preferred software to play, burn, or rip the disc. Whether you're reliving your old collection or backing up important data, this external CD/DVD drive is a reliable, easy-to-use tool that meets all your disc reading and writing needs.

If you’re frequently on the move, you’ll appreciate the portability of this drive. Slim and lightweight, it easily fits into your bag, and the included protective storage carrying case safeguards your optical drive from accidental drops and damage. Whether you’re a teacher showing educational videos, a business professional backing up files, or a student accessing software for your studies, this drive is the perfect travel companion. Its compact design ensures that you can carry it with you wherever you go without any hassle.

Please note, however, that this drive is designed for standard CDs and DVDs and is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac computers only. It does not work with ChromeOS (Chromebook), iPads, smartphones, TVs, cars, Surface (some models), gaming consoles (PS4/PS5, Xbox), or projectors. It also does not support Blu-ray or 4K discs.

USB 3.0 High Speed, Supported Disc Type, and Max Read/Write Speed

Upgraded USB 3.0 not only supports high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbps — 10 times faster than USB 2.0 — with DVD 8X and CD 24X max read/write, but also offers smooth, stable, and reliable operation with enhanced error correction and noise reduction for long-lasting use.

Supported Disc Types: Support the reading, burning (writing/rewriting), and ripping (digitizing) of multiple types of discs, including CD-ROM, CD-R, CD±RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±R DL, VCD, SVCD. (Blu-ray Disc is NOT supported)

Max Read/Write Speeds: CD-ROM 24x, CD-R 24x, CD±RW 8x, DVD-ROM 8x, DVD±R 8x, DVD±RW 8x, DVD±R DL 4x (Tips: The drive gradually increases speed from the inner to the outer edge, starting slower and reaching peak performance as it progresses.)

Recommended Burning & Ripping Speed: While the maximum read/write speeds for CDs are 24X and 8X for DVDs, we recommend burning or ripping at 10X or lower for CDs, and 4X to 8X for DVDs. Slower speeds, such as 4X or 8X, are ideal for ensuring data integrity, especially with high-capacity or dual-layer discs. These speeds enable more precise data encoding, reducing the risk of read errors.

USB 3.0 Data Cable & USB-C Adapter

Equipped with a high-speed USB 3.0 data cable neatly embedded under the drive, along with a USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter, ensuring easy connection to various laptop or desktop computers.

Note: Plug the drive directly into your computer's USB port (avoid using a USB hub unless it’s self-powered).

Cable Length: The data cable is approximately 20 cm (7.88 inches). If a longer reach is needed, consider using a 1-foot extension data cable.

Plug and Play

Just plug the USB 3.0 or USB-C connector into your computer, it will install the driver automatically and be recognized by your PC (Mac will detect and show the icon after inserting a disc), then insert your disc and use the corresponding software to read or write your CD or DVD discs.

* Note: Plug and play means no manual driver installation, but media player or burning software is still required to play or burn discs.

Powerful Performance

As a professional manufacturer with 10 years of experience, ROOFULL specializes in producing quality, reliable external CD/DVD drives. Each drive features a 100% functional loader with USB 3.0 for high-speed performance, enhanced error correction, anti-shock protection, noise reduction, and low power consumption, ensuring a faster, smoother user experience. The maximum reading/writing speeds are up to 8x for DVDs and 24x for CDs.

What's the Burning & Ripping: “Burning” means copying music, videos, or files from your computer onto a blank CD or DVD, while “ripping” means copying content from a CD or DVD onto your computer. These processes let you create custom discs or save physical media digitally.

Note Before Burning Discs: Before burning, ensure your blank disc capacity is sufficient (CD-R/CD-RW: 700MB or 80 min audio; DVD-R/DVD+R: 4.7GB or 2 hours video; Dual Layer DVD: 8.5GB for long videos), use the proper burning software, set a safe burning speed (10X or lower for CDs and 4X to 8X for DVDs), and confirm the file format is compatible with the blank disc (Supported audio formats: WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC [M4A]. For car or home CD players, burn in CD-DA format; Use MPEG-2, VOB, or MPG for DVD-Video.). To convert files into disc-compatible formats, use Burn (for Mac), DVDStyler (for Windows & Mac), or CDBurnerXP (for Windows). If burning a data disc for storage, you can include any standard file types without format conversion.

About Photo/Image Discs: Some photos cannot be viewed or downloaded on Mac and Windows due to incompatible disc formats, unsupported image files, copy protection, or disc damage. Both systems support JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, HEIF, and most RAW formats, but some RAW files may need Preview, Photos, or third-party software to open.
