  • 【Best External CD DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac】Since its launch in 2017, the ROOFULL ECD829-Y has sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it a proven and time-tested choice. If you don’t need complicated extensions or unnecessary extras, this simple and durable external CD/DVD drive with a protective case is perfect for playing movie DVDs or music CDs. You can also use it to burn videos, photos, or music to blank discs, copy content from commercial CDs/DVDs, view photo CDs, install software or systems, play game disks, and back up data for long-term storage. Supports all common CD and DVD formats (except Blu-ray & 4K discs)
  • 【Simple Plug & Play】No driver installation or complicated setup required! Just plug the USB 3.0 type-C data cable (neatly stored on the bottom) into your computer directly or a self-powered USB hub, and it will be recognized automatically (on Mac, a disc icon appears on the desktop once a disc is inserted). You can then use your preferred software to read, burn, or rip discs easily, just like using an internal optical drive. (Scroll down for detailed setup guide and recommended software.)
  • 【High Speed & Dual Connectors】Enhanced USB 3.0 technology not only delivers high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbps (625MB/s) — 10× faster than USB 2.0 — with DVD 8X and CD 24X max read/write speeds, but also provides stable and reliable performance with strong error correction, noise reduction, smooth operation, and long-lasting durability. Its built-in dual connectors (Type-A & Type-C) make it versatile and easy to use with most laptops or desktops — no adapters or hubs needed!
  • 【Wide Compatibility】Works with Windows 11/ 10/ 8.1/ 7/ Vista/ XP, most Linux systems, and macOS 10.16 or later. Perfect for Apple MacBook, iMac, Mac mini/Studio, and most Windows laptops, desktops, or all-in-one PCs from brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, LG, Samsung, and Microsoft. For desktops, connect to a rear USB port for stable power. Not compatible with Chromebooks (ChromeOS), iPads/tablets, smartphones, TVs, projectors, vehicles, some Surface models, or Blu-ray/4K discs
  • 【Why ROOFULL?】With over 10 years of experience producing external CD/DVD drives, ROOFULL is a professional manufacturer focused on external DVD drive technology. Each disc drive uses brand-new components with strong error correction, low impedance, and anti-interference design, ensuring stable, quiet, and smooth operation. Every drive is fully tested before shipment and comes with up to 2 years of service, including free technical support, a replacement unit, or full compensation—no return required
  • 【Best Thing to Know Before Buying】① On Mac, the tray button won’t eject the disc after playing or burning due to macOS restrictions. Right-click the disc icon on the desktop and select “Eject,” or use “File” > “Eject.”. ② The USB 3.0 Type-C data cable is stored under the drive—do not confuse it with the extra power supply cable. ③ Plug and play means no driver installation is required, but software is still needed to play or burn discs

    This was so simple to use! Very excellent quality on the case as well. I found more luck with downloading Nero DVD on my Microsoft computer and it plays it so easily! Highly recommend.

    Excellent flexibility across different os systems. The added ports for all your connections can be found in this powerhouse, which is a great feature, no more searching for adaptors. I would give it a 5-star however it’s a bit loud—definitely a good purchase. I would recommend this to my peeps for sure. Thanks for making a product to cover all your port needs and more.

    Do you use the data cable on the back of the drive? Please plug the data cable into your mac’s USB port directly instead of a USB hub, and do not use the power supply cord alone. If your Mac cannot detect it after insert CDs or DVDs, please try a different USB ports. If the problem is not solved, please contact support@roofull.com, we will arrange a replacement for you immediately.

  9. Tim Westfall

    Works as advertised. Love the data cable built it. With the new MacBook Pro M4 as with all the dvd drives they are a little slow. This one comes up quick and the Mac’s have burning software with them so no need for new software ware . Great product highly recommend it.

    I left my DVD appliance at home and needed to watch a DVD on a trip to Boston. The device worked great – and the style/design is very cool. The USB cords are built in to accept USB-A or USB-C plus it comes with a padded case and stores everything neatly. I will never need another DVD player now that I have this one.
