USB 3.2 DVD writer for notebooks

This Buffalo MediaStation is an external DVD±RW drive that connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port. It draws power directly from the bus so no separate power supply is required. The unit reads CDs at 24x and writes DVDs at up to 6x, with support for double-layer media and M-DISC archival discs.

Suited for Windows and macOS users needing optical

The drive works with Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and macOS 10.15. CyberLink Media software is included for disc authoring and playback. Buyers who need Blu-ray read or write capability should look at a different product. Users without a USB Type-A port will require an adapter.

8x maximum DVD read speed

The key specification is the 8x DVD read rate combined with 6x DVD write and 8x DVD rewrite speeds. CD read, write and rewrite all reach 24x. These figures decide whether the drive matches the performance level required for the intended disc workload.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the DVSMPUV8U3BTAA get when burning discs continuously?

The drive is bus-powered via USB 3.2 Gen 1 and draws power from the host port, so it runs without a separate adapter and stays cool enough for desk use.

What cable or port must my laptop already have for this drive to work?

You need a free USB Type-A port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1; the box includes a matching USB cable and a DC cable for extra power if the port cannot supply enough current.

Will the DVSMPUV8U3BTAA work alongside my older USB 2.0 hub and Windows 8.1 machine?

Yes — it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and the supported OS list includes Windows 8.1 and 8.1 x64, so it will function on that system, albeit at USB 2.0 speeds.
