Works as expected

This external "Yaeonku External CD DVD Drive" drive fails to even detect any data from just a basic CD. I tried USB 3.0, as it's designed to utilize, and I tried 2.0. I tried multiple ports on my custom (Ryzen 3900X) gaming rig as well as a backup Dell Precision 5510. Windows DOES detect the drive, and it auto installs the necessary driver, but the contents of a CD don't load. I tried multiple CD's just to test it, and all failed. The primary CD is brand new and spotless, no scratches. I hate how I sound saying this, because working in IT doesn't automatically make you actually tech-savvy... but I've worked in IT for over a decade and I assure you I did all the usual troubleshooting steps. Also, it sounds horrible. It's a typical high-pitch electrical squeal noise in combination with the drive's head spazzing out trying to read the CD. Not only does it fail to load any data from basic CD R's, but it smells like someones home. If I open the drive I get a whiff of the smell, and if I let it run for a few mins while it tries to read a CD, the drive heats up a little and the smell is much stronger. It's akin to a mothball smell, sort of; it doesn't smell like any warehouse or factory I've ever been in. Bottom line: maybe I got a lemon, all I know is the drive doesn't load CD's and I really needed it tomorrow morning to read a car service manual for a repair job on my car. This is very unfortunate. I'm getting a refund and will have to figure something out for reading the CD. ****I'm including a video of the drive's noises while it attempts to read a CD. Please ignore my desk mess, it's a secondary desk for IT stuff.****

This will write to a blu-ray disc. The listing sort of says that on the graphics, but is very cryptic in the text, making this seem like a scam trying to sell you a blu-ray reader that will not write. It does, in fact, write to blu-ray discs. I downloaded a free disc-writing program, plugged this in to my pc, and it wrote a disc with no problem. Strangely, as others have said, it will not read a disc without a powered usb outlet, meaning you need a usb splitter that plugs into the usb port on your computer as well as having its own power supply that plugs into a power outlet. When set up like that this thing works flawlessly, but without the powered usb port, it will not read data from a disc, or even load a dvd.

I bought a new laptop last year, and I love how quick it is, but the trend these days with laptop and desktop computers alike is that they no longer come with DVD or Blu-Ray drives. I often use my laptop to watch movies, and it's still useful to me to have the ability to burn data to optical media for long-term storage and to install software with a DVD/Blu-Ray drive. I was just a bit unsure about whether this would work for my specific case since my laptop is set up in dual boot mode (Linux and Windows 11), with Linux as the operating system that I boot into 99% of the time. I'm happy to say that this drive is recognized perfectly without problem in Linux, and I've been watching movies using it without a hitch. The speed of the drive is very good, and it's nice that it supports Blu-Ray for greater capacity disks. I highly recommend this for the many of you out there who would like to use optical media with either your laptop or desktop computer.

THIS DRIVE IS EASY TO USE, AND SEEMS TO BE MADE OF PRETTY DECENT MATERIALS. THE ONLY THING I HAD TO DO BEFORE USE WAS CHANGE THE CODE TO MAKE IT READ UNITED STATES DVD/BLUE RAYS. OTHER THEN THAT IT IS COMPACT IN SIZE, HAS BEEN COMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING.

This external CD/CD ROM/CD RW/CD R player is fine when it works. It is rather picky as to what port you plug into and prefers being plugged directly into a USB port on the computer or laptop. It is not always detected, and you have to unplug/replug it several times (but not all the time). Since many devices only have 2-3 USB ports, I have a USB Hub attached, and the player doesn't always work through the hub. It is time consuming to unplug all the other stuff, like your mouse and printer in order to use directly in the PC/laptop. Its cord is too short to place it anywhere but right next to the computer. I believe its compatibility is universal to all USB ports. But when it works, it is quiet and easy to use.

The Blu Ray Drive Was Just As Described!! It Arrived In PERFECT Condition And It Was Shipped Quickly And Packaged Very Well! However in my experience, it's not just a simple plug and play situation...the drive was recognized with no problem on my older desk top Dell 790, but my VLC player did not play a Blu Ray without some tweaking...I had to watch a YouTube tutorial video, create a folder in my program data files, and add a file to my VLC player for playback!! It all worked fine after that, and it wasn't really that difficult to do (just a little time consuming)...I tried the software they recommended as well, but it didn't work and seemed like you had to purchase additional software? Anyway, My VLC media player is free and works great now after the simple modifications!! Please contact me on Amazon if you need more information or have any questions!! Rick :)

Excelente

This is fake Description. The unit i received was just a DVD drive. To my bad luck, I trusted that i might have gotten the correct unit, but unfortunately I checked the unit after the return window was closed.

Used it on Linux (pop os). Works great

not match

Good quality product at very reasonable rate.
