Finopo USB 3.0 External CD/DVD Drive, Ultra-Slim Portable, Compatible with Laptop, Desktop, Mac, Windows, Linux

Online description says it works with Windows 11, but paper included with the product showed only as high as Windows 10. Since I needed it, I decided to try it anyway, and it worked perfectly. I simply attached the player's USB cord to my Windows 11 laptop, put in the CD, and voila! Not a single hiccup.

Product arrived the next day. It was plug and play. I copied my DVD home videos to my computer using the VLC media app. There are online tutorials showing how to do it. They copied at 1x speed, so it took a while. They are in MP4 format, and I play them using VLC media player.

This is just what I needed! I've only really used this for playing and burning disks so far, but I have no doubt the other features will be fine as well. It's a great disk drive with the extra advantage of offering addition data ports, which is an ever-increasing need with current computers.

Purchased this inexpensive external drive for use on WIN 11 desktop computer that does not have a disc drive. Took a chance on this item because wanted to play an older game (2007!) only available on disc. Plugged in compact device , inserted disc and the game installation started / played immediately. If I can set this up, anyone should be able to do it. Have not had a need at this time for any of the other functions. *For those that complained about the cords not being included need to read item description very carefully. The picture shows the types of plugs this device will accept. It does NOT say all those plugs and cords are included. Only ONE USB power supply cord comes with this external device.

I bought this 8‑in‑1 external CD/DVD drive because new laptops no longer include optical drives, and it works exactly as I needed. Setup was simple, and it read my DVDs without any issues. It's a budget‑friendly unit, so I don't plan to use it heavily, but it's perfect for occasional disc access. The extra ports (USB, USB‑C, SD/TF card slots) are a helpful bonus and make the device more versatile. I did purchase an extended warranty just in case, but so far it's been reliable and easy to use. Overall, a good value for light, occasional use.

I still save some important information on a cd. This inexpensive addition to my computer setup allows me to continue archiving, since today's computers generally don't have cd drives. It's not superior construction, but it's more than good enough for my needs.

Cheap, loud and only works sometimes. This is the second one I've bought, the first one works great. It took a really hard fall onto tile, I was certain it was broken. So for the price I ordered the same one and it's trash. But turns out the old one still works fine

When I plugged this external drive into my desktop PC, it was immediately recognized by my Win7 Pro OS. So far so good. I could tell immediately that it's flimsy, but you get what you pay for, so I handled it as gently as possible, and crossed my fingers. I was able to load a two-sided DVD, play all four tracks (episodes from a season of a TV series), remove the DVD, flip it and load it again, and watch all four tracks on the second side. But that was it. Every disc after that was not read, and with each attempt, a message displayed on my PC monitor that the disc drive software needed to be upgraded - which is ironic when the drive was plug-n-play and I didn't add any software to my PC in the first place. I tried several discs with the same result and then inserted the first disc again - the one I'd already watched both sides of with good audio/video quality. And got the same error message! It's pretty obvious to me that I managed to damage the hardware when I removed the first disc after playing the second side, or when I first loaded the second disc - despite my care. The error messages were apparently intended to shift blame away from the external drive and onto the receiving PC. You might buy and use the drive with no problem if you handle it carefully enough, but based on my experience I can't recommend spending your money on this product.

Plugging is easy but does read movies and some other 💿 cd's. Maybe is me, but so far not able to use it. Too late to return.

I bought this external dvd drive to watch movies on my MacBook. However when I connect it to my MacBook, it just turns on and spins the dvd over and over. It does not actually connect the DVD player to my laptop. It was a waste of $18. Honestly go to Temu and buy the same thing, it will at least work and be half the money
