Product Identity

The FANTEC 5-in-1 Blu-ray Player USB-C Hub SD Reader is a new external optical drive that reads Blu-ray and HD DVD media while adding a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, a USB-C 2.0 port and an SD card slot. It draws power from the host USB-A or USB-C port and works without driver installation on Windows 11 down to XP, Linux and macOS 10.6 or above.

Suitability

This unit suits users who need disc playback plus extra USB ports and an SD reader on laptops or desktops running supported Windows, Linux or macOS versions. It is not for buyers who require Blu-ray writing capability or compatibility with Chromebook and Windows Surface devices, which the manufacturer explicitly states are not supported.

Deciding Specification

The drive reads and writes CDs at up to 24x speed and DVDs at up to 8x speed while the USB 3.0 port delivers data rates up to 5 Gigabits per second (625 MB/s). Those speeds determine whether the hub performance meets your peripheral and file-transfer needs.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need both USB-A and USB-C ports to power the drive?

The drive draws power from either a USB-A or USB-C port; one connection is sufficient.

Will the built-in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports work with my older USB 2.0 flash drives?

Yes, both ports are backward compatible so USB 2.0 devices function normally.

How can I confirm the SD card reader is active after I plug the hub in?

Insert a card; it appears as a removable drive in the file manager within seconds.
