External Blu-ray Drive USB 3.0 Type-C

The Wintale External Blu-ray Drive USB 3.0 Type-C is a portable optical drive that reads and writes Blu-ray, DVD and CD media. It connects through a USB 3.0 Type-C interface for plug-and-play operation without an external power supply. The drive suits users who need to install software, watch films or archive data on discs.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits laptop or desktop owners running Windows XP through 11 or Mac OS who lack an internal optical drive or need a replacement for a faulty one. It does not suit buyers who require included Blu-ray playback software or those who need a drive powered solely by a legacy USB 2.0 port without an adapter.

Maximum disc read speeds

Blu-ray discs read at up to 6x, DVDs at up to 8x and CDs at up to 24x. The USB 3.0 interface provides a 5 Gbps link, six times the 480 Mbps bandwidth of USB 2.0. These speeds determine how quickly large backups or media rips complete.

Questions about this item

Which USB port on my computer is needed for the drive to reach 5 Gbps?

A USB 3.0 Type-C port is required for the 5 Gbps link; a USB 2.0 port will limit the connection to 480 Mbps.

Can the drive read discs created on an older DVD±RW drive?

Yes, it reads DVDs at up to 8x and CDs at up to 24x, so legacy discs work normally.

How do I confirm the drive is operating at USB 3.0 speed after plugging it in?

Check the device manager or system profiler to verify the connection shows USB 3.0 rather than USB 2.0.
