External DVD CD Drive USB 3.0,Valoin 2018 Latest Version Portable CD/DVD +/-RW Drive Slim DVD/CD ROM Rewriter Burner Superdrive for Laptop

On Windows 10, USB 3.0 native port, the device does not install properly. I plugged it in, and the system beeps at me like it is recognizing a new device to install (just keeps beeping at me). In the Windows Explorer, I can see the device for a second, and when I click on it, sometimes I even see the data on the CD, but it immediately disappears and says the drive is unavailable. Not a happy camper.Updated Jan. 30, 2019 - before going a different direction, I asked if I had any other option. I plugged the device in to a USB 2.0 port (has a white plastic insert, instead of the USB 3.0 ports have a blue plastic insert). It installed immediately and it has worked to install my tax software. I'm a happy camper.

I am starting to think it's an Apple conspiracy. Have been burning music discs for many years, but suddenly my new MacAir and non-Apple disc drives do not get along. Do they play movies? YES. Can they burn a disc? NO. It pretends it's burning the disc, then at the end, as you are getting the message saying it is "finishing," you get a message saying that Burning the Disc Failed. And then you have to throw out the disc, because part of the process marks it in some way and ruins it. Don't buy this disc drive if you want to burn discs from your Mac.

Whenever I've used this for watching movies I've never had a problem, but recently I've been trying to watch a TV series with it and it keeps turning off or stalling making me unplug to get it started again

Immediatly recognized. Works well, low noise. I will however return it: They claim it would have a high speed, without providing data. Well, the reading speed is only half than with my old (USB2.0) CD drive. Thus only recommendable for watching DVDs on your computer. There are however faster and cheaper options for dealing with big data amounts.

I did experience an initial lag for the computer to recognize any of the CD/DVDs inserted into the drive, but for the price I paid, the performance is fine.

I finally tried to use this and it does not work - at all. It will open and close. It will spin, though it sounds like it is hitting something when it does (tried with 2 different disks). The computer recognizes the drive but not anything on the drive. The manual is a joke. There are no updates. It is past my date to return, so I guess I'm eating this one. DO NOT BUY!!

AMAZING. I bought a MacBook air six years ago and those things don’t come with cd roms. I wish I had this six years ago!!

it didn't work
