    Working fine. Came with loose trim.
    I bought this for today's "modern" laptops, that have no CD drive in them. I still like my CDs, and ITunes. To me, hard copies are a must for music.This external drive, has a built in USB-A cable that stores under the unit, in a recessed track, so its nice to transport. The cable also powers the drive from the laptop. The front eject button pops it open, and like traditional drives, you pull it open when it releases. It is designed and acts like a built in drive. I don't see any lag out of the ordinary, and it's fairly quiet. It still has a whirring sound, likely more noticeable, standing alone, but not loud.Mine came with the front edge trim, loose on one side. Examining it, I was able to re-secure it, just gently snapping back in place.For the money, I feel I made a good choice. I've used it, about five or six times already without any issues. It plays CDs directly out of your speakers when needed, but have not yet, tried playing a DVD.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Review for External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C...
      Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
      Color: BlackVerified Purchase
      **External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C Review**

      **Overview:**

      The External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C is a portable optical drive that allows you to read and write CDs and DVDs on your USB-C enabled devices. It's compatible with laptops, desktops, and even smartphones and tablets that support USB-C.

      **Design and Build:**

      The drive is compact and lightweight, weighing just over half a pound. Its sleek black finish and matte texture give it a stylish appearance. The cable is attached to the drive, which makes it easy to carry around without worrying about losing it.

      **Performance:**

      The drive uses a USB 3.0 interface, providing fast data transfer speeds. I tested it with a variety of CDs and DVDs, and it read and wrote both disc types smoothly and quickly. The drive is also backward compatible with USB 2.0, but the data transfer speeds will be slower.

      **Compatibility:**

      The drive is widely compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS operating systems. It works seamlessly with my Windows 10 laptop and MacBook Pro. I also tested it with my Android smartphone and it was able to read and write CDs without any issues.

      **Features:**

      In addition to reading and writing CDs and DVDs, the drive also supports M-DISC technology. M-DISCs are archival-grade discs that are designed to last for hundreds of years, making them ideal for storing important data.

      **Pros:**

      * Compact and lightweight design
      * USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfers
      * Compatible with a wide range of devices
      * Supports M-DISC technology

      **Cons:**

      * No write protection switch
      * May not be suitable for heavy-duty use

      **Overall:**

      The External DVD Drive USB 3.0 Type-C is a reliable and portable optical drive that's perfect for reading and writing CDs and DVDs on USB-C enabled devices. Its compact design and fast performance make it a great companion for anyone who needs to access optical media on the go.

      It looks good. My client had a VHS original from 1965 and decided to use the original tape for playback. The original tape was in good condition in spite of its age. The transfer from VHS to disc was not needed. The disc also worked fine, it just was not needed. Richard Baim, previous Adobe Certified Expert & Premiere Certified Instructor.

      Bought to rip some CDs so I could transfer to my phone and use on CarPlay. Worked right out of the box, recognized immediately by my Win11 PC, lightweight, and a built-in USB connector (I always lose them, so happy it's connected, with a storage spot in the bottom of the unit).

      the external cde drive connected easily, worked great for ripping cds onto my laptop, but then it quit working. I kept getting the code "unable to rip cd" from every cd I tried. So I restarted my computer and it then began to work again. Hope it works next time?

      4.0 out of 5 stars It worked on my Ubuntu install

      I run Ubuntu and this drive has worked perfectly as both a player and a burner for CD's so far. More info. below.

      I'm only going to give 4 stars for now because I just got the drive and I haven't tested it thoroughly. The review may go up or down with time. For example, I've only tried CD's so far, not DVD's yet.

      I don't know why the advertisement would say that it works on linux, but that it doesn't work on Ubuntu. Typically, Ubuntu is one of the most "It just works" distros out there.

      For example, I run Ubuntu because I have an Nvidia graphics card and Arch doesn't play nice with nvidia, especially if you want to run the proprietary Nvidia drivers, which I did because nouveau is not nearly as good as proprietary with my card.
