Ultra-Slim USB-C DVD Writer

The KEHIPI VT-6699 is a new external optical drive that reads and writes CDs and DVDs through a USB-C connection. It suits laptop owners whose machines lack an internal drive and who need to install software, play discs or archive data. The silver aluminium body measures 5.4 inches square and only .6 inches thick, so it fits in a slim bag. Buyers who need Blu-ray playback or a drive for tablets, smartphones, Chrome OS devices, cars, TVs or projectors should look elsewhere.

Plug-and-Play Setup with Caveats

No driver installation is required on Windows 98 through 11 or any macOS version; the drive is detected automatically when plugged into a native USB port. A USB-C to USB-A adapter is included for older ports. Do not connect through a hub or extension cable, and on desktop PCs use a rear motherboard port for reliable power. Playback of video discs needs a separate player such as VLC. The drive cannot draw enough power from hubs or non-standard ports, which is the most common reason it fails to appear.

24x CD and 8x DVD Maximum Write Speeds

The drive writes CD-R at 24x, CD-RW at 16x, DVD±R at 8x and DVD±R DL at 6x, with a 2 MB buffer to prevent underruns. Read speeds reach 24x for CD-ROM and 8x for single-layer DVD-ROM. Supported media include CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL and DVD+RW. These speeds decide whether the drive matches your burning and ripping workflow.
