USB 3.0 and Type-C external DVD drive

This new GSM Outdoors accessory combines a DVD burner and CD drive in one portable unit. It connects through USB 3.0 or Type-C ports and works with Windows XP through 11, Linux and Mac OS X. The drive reads and writes CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, VCD and SVCD media.

Plug-and-play operation with built-in cable

No driver installation is required; the drive draws power directly from the USB connection. The integrated cable stores inside the housing so it cannot be lost. Compatible laptops, desktops and notebooks detect the device automatically once it is plugged in.

Sustained read and write speeds

USB 3.0 delivers data rates up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), roughly 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The drive maintains a maximum 8x DVD read speed and 24x CD read/write speed during extended sessions. Strong error correction and anti-skid mechanisms keep performance steady under continuous load.

Questions about this item

How fast does the 8× DVD read speed actually go when I rip discs for hours?

The drive reads DVDs at up to 8× and CDs at up to 24×, with USB 3.0 transferring data at up to 625 MB/s, so sustained ripping stays at those speeds.

Does the built-in cable keep the drive quiet and cool during all-day use?

The drive is described as having quiet capabilities and draws power only from the USB cable, so it runs without a separate power brick or fan noise.

My laptop only has USB-C — will this drive work without any extra adapter?

Yes, the drive includes a USB 3.0 Type-C interface and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so it plugs directly into a USB-C port.
