Good quality, cheap and reliable. A great little drive.
I have had this item for a while now and have found it easy to use and reliable. I bought a mac mini and of course there is no optical drive so i purchase this one. Its good quality with a plastic shell that hasnt been scratched up yet and it simply plugs in to the computer with a USB A lead thats included. No USB C sadly but for the data transfer rate that would be over the top anyway. Computer recognises it straight away. Also a good thing to have for laptops which also mostly have no optical drives these days. I use mine mostly for music archiving and occasional hard back up of music or data. Works flawlessly every time

Fast, reliable, well built
I regularly buy CDs and then rip them to FLAC format, but my old CD player was very slow since I migrated to Linux Mint. I bought this CD player to see if there was a difference. I’m glad to say that there is an enormous positive difference.I ripped the same CD using both my old CD player and this Rioddas model, and to ensure it was a fair test, they were both plugged into the same USB port. When I finished the test with one, I swapped the drives and then rebooted the computer to ensure there were no residual incompatible drivers lingering.The old CD player took 15 minutes to rip the whole CD. The Rioddas took 7 minutes, which is a significant difference. There were no errors during the reading process (the software I use reports all errors). The old player managed to get up to 3.5 times nominal read speed, whilst the Rioddas got up to 8.5 times, again, significantly faster.When I get a box-set of CDs, it will no longer be an all-day task to rip them.The drive looks and feels like a quality machine, and the eject works properly through software as well as the button. The simple USB-A connector enables connectivity to almost every computer, and it is light enough to put in a backpack so you can use it down at the local coffee house or library.Not tested:1. DVD reading2. CD and DVD writingWith the above two caveats, I would recommend this drive.

Good Value External CD/DVD Drive â Works with Windows 11, but Cable is Short
I bought this external CD/DVD drive, and it works as described. The model is BT669. It connects to a computer using a USB port and is powered by DC 5V, 1.5A. The device is light, weighing about 400g, and comes in a compact box (17.2cm à 15.2cm à 2.8cm). It supports both 8cm and 12cm discs and works with DVD and CD formats. The reading speed is DVD-ROM 8x and CD-ROM 24x, while the burning speed is DVD 8x and CD 24x.The packaging says it works with Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, as well as Mac OS 8.6 and above. I tested it on Windows 11, and it works fine. Some people say that external CD/DVD writers do not work with Windows 11, but this one does.It is easy to useâjust plug it into a USB port, and the computer detects it. You can then insert a disc, and it will read or burn as needed. The build quality feels decent, and it is stable when placed on a flat surface.One issue is that the attached USB cable is too short. You either have to let the drive dangle from the port or use an extension cable. This is not a serious problem, but it is slightly annoying. One star off the review because of that.For the price, this is good value. It does what it should, and apart from the short cable, I have had no issues. If you need an external CD/DVD drive, this is a good option.

Great product at a good price
I required a cd player as my computer now does not have 1 inbuilt, easy to use and understand how to connect, great product at a good price

Great product, worth the price
Amazing product! It works perfectly, and allows me to play movies (given I use specific software to play or copy the disc to my drive). I’m also able to play ps2 games with an emulator. It isn’t too loud, and connects to my laptop with no issues. Overall, it is worth the price and does what is expected

Very short cable, may not be recognised by device when using your own cable
Product looks nice and is functional, but the main issue is that the main cable it is issued with is very short (about a hand’s length) making it difficult to hook up to a PC without perching it on top or using some other object to support it.At the back is a micro-usb port that you can use instead which is what I went with initially due to the extremely short length of the main cable. However, the PC wouldn’t recognise the device when using this cable (I think it was a cable for a PS4 controller that I used). The device had power, but wasn’t being picked up by the desktop. I had to use the main cable in a front port in order for it to be recognised.Once I had it working, I made a copy of the disc using some software and it seems it transferred the data without issue. So the product is functional, just be aware of the cable length and be prepared to shift things about if the micro-USB port at the back doesn’t work out.

Excellent product exactly as shown. It’s Lightweight, compatible, sturdy, and ready to go.
I would say this product is excellent for the price. My laptop doesn’t have a DVD player, so this was perfect. You just need software on your computer like VLC Player or WMP. It’s lightweight, sturdy, and exactly as shown. It has a good feel. It’s also very easy to use, just plug it in via USB 2.0 and your good to go.I would also like to mention the size, its around the square size of a disc, which makes it very portable like to work for presentations, friends house for a sleepover, or anywhere really for everyday use. Because of its size and the compact hidden wiring at the back, it makes it easy and a great way to store it on a shelf, or stacked away.I used this mainly to play movies as I don’t have a dvd player. But as long as you have the software you can burn CD’s or DVD’s from self taken videos. It’s compatible with Win10, Win8, and most other programmes and softwares.It was also delivered pretty quickly and on time with great care from the driver so nothing was damaged.The only downside is it doesn’t play Bluray or 4k but that wasn’t an issue for me.If your looking for a DVD player but don’t want to go out to get it or don’t want to spend alot of money or break the bank, like me, then I would highly recommend this product. You won’t be disappointed.
