  1. NewSamsungPurchase –

    Very easy to use and very quiet. It comes with two separate cords instead of a single split cord – one cord for USB and the second cord for USB-C connections. It is a little slow to open and shut the door tray but as far as it working- it pops up fairly quickly on the laptop and plays CDs DVD’s and Software disks.

  2. user609964 –

    Does what I needed – replaced an older USB drive that no longer ripped music CD’s accurately. Reasonably priced. I haven’t tested anything more than basic CD ripping but pleased with the unit.

  3. Enjoy –

    Easy set up. Got it for a new desktop that doesn’t have a DVD.

  4. Lila –

    We needed a dvd drive and this one turned out perfect for us.

  5. Brad –

    This product works better than I thought it would!

  6. Aranela –

    Easy to use drive. Decent speed and reliability. I love that I can easily add this via USB.

  7. suhuppa –

    supposedly an easy set up, but not as easy as was suggested. have not used it much, as the tax CD I tried was not cooperative at all. The CD was brand new!

  8. SharonG –

    Excellent device. Needed this to help load items on a new Laptop as the new one did not have one built in.

  9. PCNutzoid –

    Needed it for PC without optical drive and it worked perfectly.

  10. JenniferV –

    Fantastic device. Did exactly what I needed. Would buy again.

  11. Garrison –

    This drive is cheap enough to justify purchasing with any modern laptop, even if your use cases may be small. It’s capable of doing just about anything you may ever need to do in terms of optical media, and will probably last for many years of moderate use.

  12. justme –

    Great product works awsome very quite and you can take it anywhere you go

  13. bella –

    Nice little device to supplement the laptop Good for listening to cds, creating other things easy to use to

  14. Trex –

    Easy to use. Handy since my laptop didnt have a disc drive.

  15. Laptop –

    Works as advertised meets my requirement would suggest future purchases

  16. WalkAway –

    This works as a nice back up to my failing disc drive in my computer or for my notebook when I want to upload stored data or music. It does its job, and it does it well.

  17. BillyC –

    Works great on my laptop which does not have a DVD drive like most late model computers. I have heard some complaints about compatibility but I had no issues.

  18. Yoda30 –

    Very small and compact but it works great. My new computer didn’t have the option for the DVD.

  19. Handyman –

    This device works well for any disk you would like to use. Also works with windows 11.

  20. quickreview –

    Seems like a decent device. New laptop did not have a CD drive and my son wanted to rip some of his CDs into iTunes to listen on his phone so we bought this.

    I’ve only used it to read CDs, I haven’t tried to burn anything or read DVDs yet.

    The disc tray seems a little flimsy but what isn’t these days? Other than that, seems sturdy enough.

  21. HappyShopper –

    This DVD player is easy to use and just what I needed for teaching!

  22. WallMount –

    Play older games with friends and this product is solid way of doing this.

  23. DougJ –

    My new computer doesn’t have an optical drive. This drive works great. Easy to plug into usb port and works perfectly to read my CDs and DVDs. You can also write and store data with this drive. It was on sale the day purchased and easy pickup at local Best Buy store.

  24. DIYorDIE –

    This drive is plug and play with Windows; I didn’t open the included CD. It’s very compact but I think care is needed to avoid damaging the drawer when open: it isn’t very sturdy. It fit the need for ripping some old music CDs on a drive-less desktop.

  25. EvaC –

    Works as expected which is great. Simple and easy to use. Great price for the product.

  26. Josh –

    Quick buy while I was walking out but figured with most computers not having CD drives it was worth a pickup.

  27. Opethruler –

    I have only had it a short time. Great price.Soft ware was better than one I bought for $25

  28. CHuth5501 –

    Very happy with speed and connectivity. Unit is compact and quiet

  29. Joreen –

    Great buy! Simple to use, inexpensive, and good quality.

  30. JohnnyRocket –

    As many laptops no longer come with a disk drive an external one can be a necessity and this thing definitively does the job.

  31. TI63 –

    I am well please with my new external Asus dvd-rw drive works great, easy to get started, USB hook up, perfect for computers without cd/dvd rw drives!

  32. ShawnH –

    This works as expected. Read/Write speed was impressive, so I’d definitely recommend. I am using a Mac and it was a simple plug/play type of experience.

  33. xandi –

    This works great for my laptop as a CD/DVD drive, It is very quick, and its a great value for the price.

  34. Phil –

    Product is excellent
    Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  35. Jose –

    Its a nice product. Responsive and connected without any problems with my Mac.
    Excellent price.

  36. user476083 –

    So far, this Asus external CD/R/RW & DVD/R/RW works well & quickly. My husband & I have only used it a couple of times tho.

  37. ThomasW –

    Does what I need. It burns disc great every time Very good quality .

  38. Joseph –

    Great reader and writer. It works very good . Im glad got it

  39. EDRODRIGUEZ –

    I like it because it works in all windows.besides this cd player comes the cd/software

  40. trippinjohn –

    I’ve only used it once, but it worked. Best Buy really wanted me to write a review so here it is.

  41. Penguin774 –

    This is a great device for burning CDs or playing them. Also it is plug and play so the software of your choice can be used.

  42. Slick1 –

    Love physical media because you own it. Quality content comes from this little gem.

  43. EdK1 –

    Yes, you can playback DVDs with this ASUS EXTERNAL CD/DVD writer. And while the tray is still empty, you can use the onscreen display to eject it, but when it’s actually loaded, that method doesn’t work, so it has to be manually ejected using a pin via the pinhole. Haven’t tried burning a disc with it yet, but it’s possible that it’s a similar maneuver. I’m only using this with my Mac mini having Apple silicon- so at least it works! You’d have to experiment with Mac versions of playback software for satisfactory results. So can ASUS update the firmware so that this is 100% operational with latest macOS? The unit comes with 2 cables; I’m using the USB-C.

  44. TimM –

    Slick unit and a great price. Easy to use and very portable.

  45. BillF –

    I needed an external dvd player after I upgraded my computer and the new computer did not come with a dvd player.
    This one worked well, but limited usage.

  46. AlexP –

    This drive works great no issues.it works on windows and Mac

  47. Nick –

    This item looks great and works as expected. Highly recommended.

  48. AdeleM –

    Paid $39.00 for geek squad help so I could watch a movie. It worked fine till I wanted to use it at home

  49. Tpski –

    Easy plug n play. It doesn’t list it but works well with windows 11

  50. Jimanjo –

    Needed an Optical Driver. Serves the purpose it was bought for
