There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I picked this up because I have a really tiny case for my PC, and when I built it I figured I wouldn't need a disc drive EVER AGAIN!!... or if I did, I'd get one of these. Well, for various reasons I do indeed want a disc drive, so here I am. I was hoping Blu-Ray drives would have dropped in price by this point - but nope. Still, this was really inexpensive.
It burns data discs fine. It burns ISOs fine. It burns audio CDs fine. It burns DVD movies fine. DVD-R and CD-Rs, no problem.
For whatever reason, it will -not- burn bin/cue files using ImgBurn, which is sort of what I needed it to do. I keep getting an error about a semaphore timeout. I've tried researching this on old forum threads, and some people seem to point the error to specific disc drives. I do not know, but I can't get it to work. I ended up using my wife's old 2009 Vaio to get the job done instead.
Anyway, I realize that's not a common use case these days, but I wanted to note it in case someone comes looking for an external drive for that purpose like I did. I have no reason to believe my PC setup is at fault, and oddly, it burned everything else just fine. I don't really understand, but I'm going to keep this drive because I mostly really do like it and find it handy.
And then, when I saw the deal of a Roofull cd deck, AND a great case....I had to go for it. The case is wonderful. Lightweight, sturdy, protective...and will be an asset for a long, long time.
Between you and me, I did think a bit longer than normal before I made this purchase. Yes, I loved my first 'best- friend', my original Roofull cd deck. But it developed a problem that I did not know how to deal with. I was able to work around it for a good while, but finally, a disc was trapped inside and I couldn't use the device any longer. So I thought long and hard before making this purchase.
But then, I figured that having to replace a device every other year, that I use for hours and hours every week, and purchased at a very affordable price...is not a bad place to be. So I bet on a winner. Hopefully, if the same problem crops up this time I will take the time to contact customer service to see if there's a fix.
My advice? Go for it! It's a good deal any day of the week. And the case is cool...
Top reviews from other countries
Set the unit on top of my space gray Mac Mini (2018) and plugged the USB 3.0 cable (which is hardwired into the base of the unit) directly into the back of the computer as per the manufacturer's instructions (NOTE: they say it likely won't work by plugging it into a hub... they are correct as I did try that later on just to see if it would or not). Pushed the eject button, inserted an old music CD and pushed the tray back in. Loaded up in seconds, imported the songs using the Apple Music App, then clicked the eject button on my screen to re-open the tray. Did a half-dozen discs this evening and it all worked perfectly! This unit is exactly what I was looking for, in the colour I was looking for, for the price I was looking for. No compatibility issues, no software, just plug n' play.
I really like that:
- the unit is black: it matches my computer setup.
- it's extremely light and portable: I have a desk setup but anyone needing to take theirs on the go, no problem.
- the tray is not motorized: less parts to break down over time and no CDs getting trapped inside.
- the unit has a tiny hole to manually released the tray door if for some reason it will not open.
- it cost $35, compared to $95 for a Mac Superdrive.
- works perfectly on a Mac! I can still rip CDs using AAC encoding because the Mac handles all of that.
- there's no software to load: plug and play!
The only thing I'm not overly excited about is the USB 3.0 cable: it's short (but works for my setup thankfully) and it's hardwired into the base of the unit, so it cannot be detached.
For $35 you've got nothing to lose if you need a unit like this to rip CDs, watch DVDs, etc.

Set the unit on top of my space gray Mac Mini (2018) and plugged the USB 3.0 cable (which is hardwired into the base of the unit) directly into the back of the computer as per the manufacturer's instructions (NOTE: they say it likely won't work by plugging it into a hub... they are correct as I did try that later on just to see if it would or not). Pushed the eject button, inserted an old music CD and pushed the tray back in. Loaded up in seconds, imported the songs using the Apple Music App, then clicked the eject button on my screen to re-open the tray. Did a half-dozen discs this evening and it all worked perfectly! This unit is exactly what I was looking for, in the colour I was looking for, for the price I was looking for. No compatibility issues, no software, just plug n' play.
I really like that:
- the unit is black: it matches my computer setup.
- it's extremely light and portable: I have a desk setup but anyone needing to take theirs on the go, no problem.
- the tray is not motorized: less parts to break down over time and no CDs getting trapped inside.
- the unit has a tiny hole to manually released the tray door if for some reason it will not open.
- it cost $35, compared to $95 for a Mac Superdrive.
