Fine except for one problem
So far I have not burned any disks with this drive so I can't comment on that. It's a nice little drive and I like how the cord tucks into the bottom of it when not in use. The problem I have is that it conflicts with my computer. I am using a 2018 Macbook Pro running Mojave, and this drive knocks out my WiFi connection. I have to manually turn it back on, and am unable to get on the internet at all any time the drive is connected. As soon as I disconnect the drive all is OK. It's a work around problem, but still an inconvenience.

Difficult to work with.
Been using this for 2 months. I'm using this with the latest Mac mini (w/USB 3) running MacOS 10.14.5. So far I've been using it to read CDs, play DVDs, and read data discs, I've not tried any burning.I sometimes have issues getting discs out. The EJECT button on the mac keyboard never works (possibly because it's an external drive), the button on the front of the unit works only sometimes - IF your disc is good and task completed normally. If it gets stuck trying to read a bad section on a disc, the player goes into a loop and ignores all software commands (to the point of force quiting the program won't get it to stop), and the button on the front doesn't work. I suggest keeping a paper clip handy to eject bad discs. I have this unit connected to a powered USB 3 hub and find it painfully slow - no better than USB 2.Just my experiences, your mileage may vary....

Time Warp
I have not used the burner, but the reader works with my MacBook. The USB 3 is just a plug converter that takes regular USB and makes it fit in USB 3. The read speeds seem a little slow to me. I was getting 5-8X. I won't be using it often, so the limitations are probably ok, but it does not impress. An old, obsolete technology that I still need.

Useless to burn a disc
This had no problems playing a CD, no problems ripping one from it, but it was useless to try to burn a CD-R with it, even on the slowest speed. I tried about 5 times, with differenct settings. I use Mac Sierra.I ended up getting a Del product, which works fine! What a pain, though.

this external cd/dvd drive really works
I have a micro-soft surface pro. It does not have a cd or dvd drive, just a usb port. a lot of programs you can download from the internet or from a thumb drive, but some of my old programs and files are on cd's. This was an inexpensive and simple way to access them. Very nice product

Works Good
Works OK - needed it for my new Mac mini. The USB C adapter did not work but connected it to my USB 3 hub and it worked fine. Is quieter and runs smoother than the BluRay I returned. Should work just fine for what I need it for.

Great Portable USB Drive
I love this drive! It's compact size fits into my purse and I can take it anywhere. A very sleek design and the cord has its own place when not in use. I love the functionality of this device. It has performed great. I am highly pleased with this purchase.

Easy to use and compact!
I like that this product is light and compact easy to travel with. It was great for connecting to the computer when we took the grandkids camping where there is no internet or TV.
