CD Drive for Mac, USB DVD Drive External CD Burner for Laptop, Slot-in SuperDrive for Apple, Portable Optical Disk Reader Writer DVD Player for PC Windows MacBook

This dvd rom works nicely without any error in a Mac with M1 processor in case you wonder it. I have tried some others but this is the only one I have been to use it without any problem. It is perfect. After a little time, I want to leave here an extra info about it. For me works fine when recording at x4 speed. At x8 it failed and dvd was locked inside. NOTE: THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE A LOCKED DVD DISC FROM INSIDE BUT UNSCREWING PHYSICALLY but in my mac I used a virtual machine (parallels), I passed it to it and from there, in windows 11, I was able to remove the disc from inside with no problems. Or just try it in a windows pc.

This was recommended as an ideal choice for Ripping CD's and as my new Mac did not include a DVD/CD drive it was a no brained for this price. Unfortunately though it really looks the part, It only worked for the odd disc. Everything else it would get stuck reading the disc and with no physical eject button I was forced to unplug and re plug it just to get the disc out. The last straw was spending 30 minutes trying to get a valuable (To me) album out of it as the tactics mentioned no longer worked. Avoid this and get a Asus disc drive. No problems reading my discs and no getting stuck 🙂

A good unit, does the job and is very similar to the Apple unit. Except this unit works with my laptop but the SuperDrive didn’t!!

Ordered Friday, delivered Saturday so no complaints there. I need an optical mainly for one purpose, which is to rip CDs I have bought so I have a digital copy in my library. Since I got my (USB-C only) MacBook I have used an adapter quite successfully but it started to get a bit unreliable so a replacement was required. This drive works perfectly well for my needs - it looks good (certainly better than my previous plastic one), has an unexpected travel case with adaptor and a neat (if short) cable. It worked first time and every time since as I caught up with recent CD purchases. I would recommend firstly because it works, secondly because it looks good and finally because at the price it is hardly a massive risk. I am very pleased with it.

Bought this for my new MacBook Pro as it comes with USB-C connector. Didn't use it for a while until someone lent me a DVD to watch. Initial playback problems were due to copy protection on the DVD. This means buying an app for the Mac but meantime I had contacted Nolyth for support. Their support was quick and helpful even though this was not a problem of their drive unit. Also I discovered that the drive comes with a USB-C to USB adapter so it also fits our other Macs and PC. Very good value, great design and a very worthwhile addition to my MacBook.

I didn't like the fact that this item was a little stressful, when I inserted a DVD that wouldn't be read by my iMac and then wouldn't eject, in the normal fashion. This has no eject button, or the wee hole where you can physically insert a pin to eject, like most others have. Tried all conventional methods and would have sent back if it had not had my DVD inserted into the slot with data I needed! Went to apple to find a solution on boot up. Suggestions of terminal inputs and the like. Too much for me, but did find a key command on boot up. After this initial annoyance, have been using without any issues since. So persevered, and been using smoothly since.

Brought this to use on my iMac and it works perfectly. It sits on the bottom of the iMac stand quite nicely and matches the colour good. The cable is an adequate length and the option of using usb-a or usb-c (via adapter) is handy. Simple to operate just plug and play. Ejecting is done onscreen. Not the fastest but great for my needs (putting cd’s on iMac).

Ah, the NOLYTH External CD Drive for Mac. I bought this little gem because I thought, "Why not revisit the golden era of physical media?" Little did I know, NOLYTH was about to teach me an unforgettable lesson in disappointment. Spoiler alert: it didn’t even work straight out of the box. And honestly, that was probably the high point of my experience with this thing. After finally convincing it to function, I thought I’d give it a spin—literally. Burned a disc, felt a momentary sense of accomplishment, and then... nothing. It refused to eject the disc. Just sitting there, smugly holding onto my data like it was trying to savor my misery. I had to actually Google "how to rescue hostage disc from NOLYTH," and trust me, none of the tips involved anything polite or simple. Spoiler: there’s a butter knife involved now. The build quality? Well, let's just say I've seen fast-food toys made with more integrity. Cheap plastic, flimsy cable, and a design that just screams "I might fall apart if you breathe too hard." The whole thing felt like it was cobbled together by someone who lost a bet. Seriously, this drive belongs in a museum dedicated to terrible ideas, right next to New Coke and the Titanic II. If you’re in the market for an external CD drive that works about as well as a screen door on a submarine, this is the one for you. Just don't say I didn't warn you when you end up with an expensive paperweight and a disc that’s trapped forever, much like your dreams of ever burning CDs again.

Werkt perfect samen met mijn Mac mini. Toestel werd direct herkend zonder ingewikkelde instructies. Heel blij mee

Tolles Produkt Preis/Leistung 👍🔝 Funktioniert einwandfrei

I found it extremely difficult to change the region from 2 to 4 and had almost given up when I finally managed and it now works just fine. A simple option to select region would be a big improvement .

excellent quand la qualité et au rendez-vous cela ce vois et ce ressent avec une pochette de transport en dur parfait

Pratico e funzionale con design simil Mac. Ottimo.
