- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024A very portable external USB DVD/CD drive. Plug and Play - it's that simple!
Great product for the price. Works well for old CDs that have old pictures and documents or just watching DVD movies. Its size makes it easy to pack up and travel, and plug in and have it sit on top of your desktop or nearby. The disk trey, like all disk treys, feels a little flimsily but it is solid - just don't mistake it for a cup holder!
Runs fairly quiet and fast. Overall, a good external DVD/CD drive and does exactly what it is supposed to do!
Now a days, most PC's don't come with a DVD/CD drive built in, this is a great option!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025Right out of the box works perfectly as designed. Only small issue for me is the short cord, but if necessary you can add an extender. Also good pricing.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024USB cable is attached which is a good feature. The unit vibrates more than expected but that may be due to the light weight. Coulkd format DVD -R new discs.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025This worked seamlessly with my computer for adding programs for which I already had disks. It was easy to use. Simply plug in and load the programs. I really don't understand why some people had problems with this, but it worked great on with my new Windows 11 computer!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Bought a new computer last year and the Microsoft suite FREE subscription ran out. Pulled out my 2010 Microsoft office professional software CD...loaded right up. The $20 spent on this maybe only one time use external drive was much cheaper than new software.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2025Worked twice and then quit on me! I had three CDs of photos to upload to my Mac. After uploading the first two with no issue, the third disc went in, and the player is absolutely nonfunctional. Just sounds like it is sitting and spinning endlessly. Have been troubleshooting for hours with no success!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2025Havn't tried to write to disc yet but is very quick installing from discs.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021With computers no longer shipping with a built-in optical drive, even if we don't do a lot with CDs or DVDs these days, having a drive to use your older media is still important. Not paying a lot for a drive you probably won't use every day as you once did is probably just as important. This drive fits the bill. While I have not yet tried to write any media with it, it reads my media just fine. Moreover, I really like its system for storing both the USB connecting cable and the USB-C adapter. They store conveniently in the bottom of the drive, making this a very portable option that will travel well without any danger of snagging your USB cable. The cable is hard-wired in and not removable, so having this convenient way to safely store the cable is kind of a must. This drive also had no trouble connecting to my computer, nor did my computer seem to have any problems powering it.
I did connect it to my MacBook Air (the one M1 one), and the only trouble I had was getting the Mac to actually mount the MP3 CD I was wanting to play. This was, however, not the drive's fault, but rather that the disc was formatted in an old format that the newer MacOS didn't recognize properly. Google to the rescue, and I got around that and was able to successfully read my MP3 CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hervorragend
Perfektes externes DVD-Laufwerk – schnell, zuverlässig und vielseitig!
Ich habe das Amicool Externe DVD Laufwerk gekauft, um es mit meinem Laptop und Desktop-PC zu nutzen, und bin rundum begeistert! Die Installation war denkbar einfach – einfach anschließen und sofort einsatzbereit. Dank der USB 3.0- und USB-C-Schnittstellen ist das Laufwerk mit den neuesten Geräten kompatibel und liefert beeindruckend schnelle Übertragungsraten.
Das Design ist schlank und modern, und durch das leichte Gewicht ist es ideal für unterwegs. Es fühlt sich dennoch robust und langlebig an, was Vertrauen in die Verarbeitung schafft. Egal ob Lesen oder Schreiben von CDs und DVDs, das Laufwerk arbeitet leise und zuverlässig ohne Aussetzer oder Fehler.
Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die Kompatibilität mit verschiedenen Betriebssystemen – ich habe es sowohl unter Windows 10 als auch unter Linux getestet, und es hat problemlos funktioniert. Auch auf meinem MacBook gab es keine Schwierigkeiten.
Besonders praktisch finde ich die Plug-and-Play-Funktionalität, da keine zusätzlichen Treiber erforderlich sind. Ob für Backup-Zwecke, das Abspielen von DVDs oder das Brennen von CDs, das Laufwerk meistert jede Aufgabe mit Bravour.
Insgesamt bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit diesem Kauf. Das Amicool Externe DVD Laufwerk bietet eine hervorragende Leistung zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Eine klare Empfehlung für jeden, der ein zuverlässiges und vielseitiges externes DVD-Laufwerk sucht!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolut empfehlenswert für macOS-Nutzer!
Habe mir dieses externe Laufwerk gekauft, um alte DVD-Rs und CDs zu digitalisieren, und bin begeistert! Die Installation auf meinem Mac war völlig unkompliziert – einfach anschließen und loslegen. Die Kompatibilität mit macOS ist perfekt, ich musste keine zusätzlichen Treiber installieren.
Besonders positiv fand ich, dass das Laufwerk sowohl einen USB-A- als auch einen USB-C-Anschluss (über den mitgelieferten Adapter) unterstützt. Das macht es unglaublich flexibel – ich konnte es sowohl an meinem neueren MacBook mit USB-C als auch an einem älteren Mac mit USB-A problemlos nutzen.
Die Schreib- und Lesegeschwindigkeit ist sehr gut. DVDs und CDs wurden schnell erkannt und verarbeitet. Auch das Kopieren von Inhalten verlief ohne Probleme und erstaunlich flott.
Qualitativ macht das Laufwerk ebenfalls einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Es ist kompakt, leicht und gut verarbeitet – ideal, um es bei Bedarf auch mal mitzunehmen. Insgesamt bin ich mit diesem Kauf mehr als zufrieden und kann das Gerät jedem empfehlen, der ein zuverlässiges Laufwerk für macOS (oder andere Systeme) sucht. Volle 5 Sterne!
