Portable USB 3.0 CD/DVD Writer

This external combo drive reads and writes CDs and DVDs through a USB 3.0 connection. It is aimed at laptop, ultrabook and desktop owners whose machines lack an internal optical drive. The slim enclosure makes it easy to carry for occasional disc access on Windows or macOS systems.

Installation and common issues

The drive draws power from the USB port so no separate adapter is required. Simply plug the cable into a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 socket and the operating system recognises it automatically. Problems usually appear when the port cannot supply enough current or when disc media is scratched or low quality.

Interface limits

USB 3.0 caps the theoretical throughput at 5 Gbps, but actual disc transfer rates are limited by the drive’s maximum read speeds of 24x for CD and 8x for DVD. Writing speeds are lower and vary with media quality. The USB bus also cannot power the drive if the host port is current-limited.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is operating at USB 3.0 speed after connecting it?

Check the transfer rate in your system's device manager or file-copy dialog; it should approach the 5 Gbps ceiling of the USB 3.0 interface.

What media formats can I read or write immediately, and what must I supply myself?

The drive handles DVD-ROM, DVD-video, CD-R/RW, CD-ROM/XA, CD-ROM, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT; blank discs are not included.

Which operating-system version should I pick for a Mac running OS 10?

The drive lists Mac OS 10 as a supported system, so it will work with that version.
