External USB 3.0 DVD burner for laptops and desktops
This slim external drive reads and writes CDs and DVDs through a USB 3.0 connection. It draws power directly from the USB port so no separate power adapter is required. The drive works with Windows, Linux and macOS systems. It suits users who need occasional optical media access on computers that lack an internal drive.
USB 3.0 interface limited to 5 Gbps
The USB 3.0 link tops out at 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.0. Actual throughput is bound by the disc format: CD read peaks at 24x, DVD read at 8x and DVD-RAM read at 5x. Write speeds follow the media specifications and cannot exceed the interface or drive limits. Bus power may restrict sustained performance on some low-power ports.
Supports DVD±R, DVD±RW, CD-R and CD-RW media
The drive handles DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-RAM discs for reading and writing. It does not support Blu-ray formats or M-DISC media. Buyers who need Blu-ray playback or archival-grade discs should choose a different drive.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the USB 3.0 model or a USB 2.0 version for faster burns?
This drive uses USB 3.0 with a 5Gbps peak link, so data moves quicker than on USB 2.0 when the host port is also 3.0.
What does the 24x CD read speed mean when I am ripping discs?
24x is the maximum CD read rate; actual ripping speed depends on disc condition and the host USB port.
Is the USB 3.0 interface capped at 5Gbps in practice?
Yes, the USB 3.0 link tops out at 5Gbps and falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.0 on older ports.
