With this USB CD/DVD-ROM, you can not only play music CDs and movie DVDs, but also burn your music CDs, digitize your old music CDs, convert them to MP3, copy audio files to your computer, create custom mixtapes or back up your photos and videos, install software or games from a disk, or have a reliable solution for data transfer and system backups. It supports various disc formats, including CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM, VCD, and SVCD, making it a versatile tool for multimedia tasks.

To be thinner and lighter, the latest laptops provide fewer and fewer ports or even cancel the USB-A port. However, we still need enough USB-A ports to connect external devices like 2.4G wireless receivers, Bluetooth adapters, wired mice/ keyboards, etc. To address this issue, this 8-in-1 external CD/DVD optical drive also integrates multiple extension USB ports and SD/TF card slots that make it easy for you to access videos from cameras or surveillance systems.

Designed for portability, this ultra-slim drive is lighter and thinner than most conventional DVD drives, slipping easily into your travel bag?perfect for DVD lovers on the go.

As a professional manufacturer with 10 years of experience, ROOFULL specializes in producing quality, reliable external CD/DVD drives. Each drive features a 100% functional loader with USB 3.0 for high-speed performance, enhanced error correction, anti-shock protection, noise reduction, and low power consumption, ensuring a faster, smoother user experience. The maximum reading/writing speeds are up to 8x for DVDs and 24x for CDs.

Supported Disc Types: Support the reading, burning (writing/rewriting), and ripping (digitizing) of multiple types of discs, including CD-ROM, CD-R, CD±RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±R DL, VCD, SVCD. (Blu-ray/4K Disc is NOT supported)

Max Read/Write Speeds: CD-ROM 24x, CD-R 24x, CD±RW 8x, DVD-ROM 8x, DVD±R 8x, DVD±RW 8x, DVD±R DL 4x.

Recommended Burning & Ripping Speed: While the maximum read/write speeds for CDs are 24X and 8X for DVDs, we recommend burning or ripping at 10X or lower for CDs, and 4X to 8X for DVDs. Slower speeds, such as 4X or 8X, are ideal for ensuring data integrity, especially with high-capacity or dual-layer discs. These speeds enable more precise data encoding, reducing the risk of read errors.

The drive gradually increases speed from the inner to the outer edge, starting slower and reaching peak performance as it progresses.

The data cable embedded under the drive has USB 3.0 & USB-C two kinds of connectors on the end, making it easier to connect different laptop or desktop computers without an adapter required and no worries about losing the data cable.

* Due to the limitation of the design, the data cable length is about 27 cm/ 10.6 inches.

In addition to the data cable, this drive also comes with a USB to micro-USB power supply cord. If the USB ports on your computer cannot supply enough power via a single data cable, you can connect this separate power supply cord to a 5V USB power bank or power adapter to ensure sufficient power supply.

* The power cord is not a data cable, avoid using it independently.

It's not only a CD/DVD optical drive burner but also equipped with additional 3 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port, 1x SD card slot, and 1 micro-SD card reader to hook up your other external devices and SD/micro-SD card, alleviating the trouble of insufficient interfaces on your computer.

* SD card slot and micro-SD card slot cannot be used at the same time.

This ultra-slim external CD/DVD drive player is designed to be compact and portable, making it easy to take with you wherever you go (home, office, or on the go).

What's the Burning & Ripping: “Burning” means copying music, videos, or files from your computer onto a blank CD or DVD, while “ripping” means copying content from a CD or DVD onto your computer. These processes let you create custom discs or save physical media digitally.

Note Before Burning Discs: Before burning, ensure your blank disc capacity is sufficient (CD-R/CD-RW: 700MB or 80 min audio; DVD-R/DVD+R: 4.7GB or 2 hours video; Dual Layer DVD: 8.5GB for long videos), use the proper burning software, set a safe burning speed (10X or lower for CDs and 4X to 8X for DVDs), and confirm the file format is compatible with the blank disc (Supported audio formats: WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC [M4A]. For car or home CD players, burn in CD-DA format; Use MPEG-2, VOB, or MPG for DVD-Video.). To convert files into disc-compatible formats, use Burn (for Mac), DVDStyler (for Windows & Mac), or CDBurnerXP (for Windows). If burning a data disc for storage, you can include any standard file types without format conversion.

About Photo/Image Discs: Some photos cannot be viewed or downloaded on Mac and Windows due to incompatible disc formats, unsupported image files, copy protection, or disc damage. Both systems support JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, HEIF, and most RAW formats, but some RAW files may need Preview, Photos, or third-party software to open.

About Data Cable & Power Supply Cord: The USB-A/C data cable is integrated into the bottom of the drive and connects to your computer. If the computer’s USB port does not supply enough power, use the included power cable to connect the drive to a 5V USB charger or power bank to ensure stable operation and prevent read or burn errors.
