## Features

- 【Best External CD DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac】Since its launch in 2017, the ROOFULL ECD829-Y has sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it a proven and time-tested choice. If you don’t need complicated extensions or unnecessary extras, this simple and durable external CD/DVD drive with a protective case is perfect for playing movie DVDs or music CDs. You can also use it to burn videos, photos, or music to blank discs, copy content from commercial CDs/DVDs, view photo CDs, install software or systems, play game disks, and back up data for long-term storage. Supports all common CD and DVD formats (except Blu-ray & 4K discs)
- 【Simple Plug & Play】No driver installation or complicated setup required! Just plug the USB 3.0 type-C data cable (neatly stored on the bottom) into your computer directly or a self-powered USB hub, and it will be recognized automatically (on Mac, a disc icon appears on the desktop once a disc is inserted). You can then use your preferred software to read, burn, or rip discs easily, just like using an internal optical drive. (Scroll down for detailed setup guide and recommended software.)
- 【High Speed & Dual Connectors】Enhanced USB 3.0 technology not only delivers high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbps (625MB/s) — 10× faster than USB 2.0 — with DVD 8X and CD 24X max read/write speeds, but also provides stable and reliable performance with strong error correction, noise reduction, smooth operation, and long-lasting durability. Its built-in dual connectors (Type-A & Type-C) make it versatile and easy to use with most laptops or desktops — no adapters or hubs needed!
- 【Wide Compatibility】Works with Windows 11/ 10/ 8.1/ 7/ Vista/ XP, most Linux systems, and macOS 10.16 or later. Perfect for Apple MacBook, iMac, Mac mini/Studio, and most Windows laptops, desktops, or all-in-one PCs from brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, LG, Samsung, and Microsoft. For desktops, connect to a rear USB port for stable power. Not compatible with Chromebooks (ChromeOS), iPads/tablets, smartphones, TVs, projectors, vehicles, some Surface models, or Blu-ray/4K discs
- 【Why ROOFULL?】With over 10 years of experience producing external CD/DVD drives, ROOFULL is a professional manufacturer focused on external DVD drive technology. Each disc drive uses brand-new components with strong error correction, low impedance, and anti-interference design, ensuring stable, quiet, and smooth operation. Every drive is fully tested before shipment and comes with up to 2 years of service, including free technical support, a replacement unit, or full compensation—no return required
- 【Slim & Portable CD/DVD Drive】Compact and classic in design, this USB DVD drive is easy to carry for home, office, or travel. The included durable protective carrying case guards against dust, water, and accidental drops—keeping your drive safe on the go. Lightweight and practical, it fits neatly into bags or backpacks. (Prefer a version without a case? Search “B07C1VP88H” on desertcart.)
- 【Best Thing to Know Before Buying】① On Mac, the tray button won’t eject the disc after playing or burning due to macOS restrictions. Right-click the disc icon on the desktop and select "Eject," or use "File" > "Eject.". ② The USB 3.0 Type-C data cable is stored under the drive—do not confuse it with the extra power supply cable. ③ Plug and play means no driver installation is required, but software is still needed to play or burn discs

## Questions & Answers

**Q: None of the dvd's/cd's i bought seem to fit, is this a problem on my end? or did i order something wrong**
A: I have the exact same problem. None of my CD's fit and I have CD's that are both new and old. The piece in the center of the player compartment that the CD hole is supposed to fit on to hold the CD in place is too big and not centered so CD's aren't able to be placed in the player. Returning the player today.

**Q: Is this compatible  with catalina (mac os 10.15.1 on the 16" macbook pro)?**
A: My Mac Book Pro 13 inch is running on Mojave vers 10.15.1 and it works well with it.  Not sure if this helps.

**Q: can this be used with a Amazon Fire tablet?**
A: If it has a USB port it should work.  It also has another plug that looks like an AmazonBasics USB which is smaller.

**Q: Does the case have a pocket?**
A: Yes. It has a side pocket that conveniently fits the included USB C/USB 3 cable. It's a beautiful, very well-made case.
