    • Inexpensive replacement for Apple Superdrive that works very well on. New MacBook Air M3!
I bought this to use on my new Apple MacBook Air M3 because use the old Apple SuperDrive will no longer work on the new MacBook model. This drive works well and for the price is an excellent replacement. I used it to burn a replacement DVD for some old home movies I had. Very happy with purchase!

    • Compact and durable.
Plug and play, works right out of the box. Powered by USB, naturally, it leaves a small footprint on your desktop or whatever surface is around. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the USB cable is hardwired to the device, which could degrade with repeated movements. But for the price, it’s not meant to last forever. I recommend this product! ... show more

    • Good luck getting it to eject. And it malfunctioned after three discs....
Review Image by Road Scholar Road Scholar
On a positive note, the unit has two different types of power plugs, allowing for some versatility in linking to a desktop or laptop. On a scale of 1 to 5, that's one of five, or 20% positive. This is a plug and play unit on my Apple desktop running Ventura 13.3. HOWEVER: there is NO ICON that appears on the desktop screen. Makes for difficulty in ejecting it properly, and to GET IT to EJECT properly. The unit comes with a stretched-film cover over the top, and that can obstruct the DVD tray from opening. So remove that. There is a small eject button, which sort of works, 2-3 times out of ten. As long as it is lit, that is. The small back-up ejection hole that will take a straightened paperclip is of no use AT ALL. It plain flat does NOT WORK. At the end of the DVD, the unit powers OFF. Once it powers off, the ability to EJECT powers off too. So, had to pull and replace the power cord hooked into the back of the computer. Speaking of the power cord, it's EXTREMELY SHORT, necessitating my rearrangement of the desktop. Bottom line: It works if you're willing to figure out HOW TO MAKE IT WORK! I'm no techno-genius, and do like things a bit less complicated. If you can find a better unit, even at a higher price, then buy it. This unit is for someone on a tight budget who doesn't mind messing with a brand new purchase to get it to work. UPDATE: I ran three discs through it, and the last one ran at almost double speed. It skipped most of the content in the disk. I have RETURNED THIS UNIT. Spend a bit more, and get something that will WORK! ... show more

    • Works Great!!
I recently got a new Macbook Air with a USB-C port instead of plain USB ports. I also got an adapter to allow me to still use my USB drives and devices. When I tried to burn a CD from iTunes, my computer couldn't write to my burner through the adaptor. Amicool to the rescue! I purchased an Amicool External DVD drive with USB 3.0 and USB-C cables built into the drive. It's great. Since the cable is attached to the drive, I don't have to worry about misplacing the cable. The drive worked great. It was fast and easy to use. Thanks, Amicool! One small thing - the cable attaches under the drive and you have to bend it back to plug it into your computer. If you don't get it just right the drive is sitting on the cable and so the drive doesn't sit solidly on the table. If you push the cable down hard, it will, but it's easy to not do that. I have an external hard drive with the cable built-in, but instead of coming out of the bottom, it comes out of the side. Maybe for the next upgrade. . . But it's an excellent DVD drive and I'm very happy with my order. ... show more

    • External CD player
Still to see How it works with my Window Computer. The cable is too short to be connected to the back. Still need to buy a USB Extension.
