- 【External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop & Mac】If you simply need a reliable disc drive without complicated extensions, the ROOFULL RF21-MAS is designed for everyday use — durable, stable, and built to last for years. It performs just like an internal drive, letting you easily play movie DVDs, listen to music CDs, burn or back up data, install software, copy or rip discs, and even access photo or medical discs. Fully compatible with all common CD and DVD formats (except Blu-ray & 4K discs)
- 【Plug and Play】No driver installation or complex setup required! Simply connect the USB Type-A or Type-C plug to your computer, and the drive will be detected automatically (on Mac, the disc drive icon will appear on the desktop once a disc is inserted and read). You can then use your preferred software to read or write discs with ease! (Scroll down for detailed setup instructions and recommended software.)
- 【Wide Compatibility】This USB external CD/DVD drive works with most laptops, desktops, and all-in-one PCs running Windows (from Windows 98 to Windows 11), Linux, and macOS 10.16 or later, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini/ Studio. For desktop towers, connect directly to a rear USB port for stable power. Not compatible with Chromebooks, iPads, iPhones, tablets, TVs, projectors, cars, trucks, Microsoft Surface (some models), PS4/5, Xbox, Switch, or Blu-ray/4K discs
- 【High-Speed & Reliable Performance】This external CD/DVD drive offers USB 3.0 fast and stable read/write speeds—up to 8× for DVDs and 24× for CDs—delivering smooth playback and reliable burning every time. The built-in 2-in-1 data cable includes both USB-A and USB-C connectors for easy use with almost any device. For older or low-power PCs or Macs, an extra power cable can be connected to a 5V power adapter or power bank to ensure stable performance during tasks like burning or ripping
- 【Slim, Lightweight & Portable】Designed with a sleek, ultra-slim profile, this ROOFULL external DVD drive easily fits into your laptop bag, backpack, or desk drawer—perfect for travel, office, or home use. Its compact and lightweight build ensures easy portability without compromising performance, making it an ideal companion for laptops and desktops whenever space and mobility matter.
- 【Why ROOFULL?】 Since 2015, ROOFULL has been focused on designing and manufacturing external CD/DVD drives, accumulating over 10 years of professional experience. Every drive undergoes strict quality checks to ensure reliable performance. For your peace of mind, we offer up to 2 years of after-sales service—if your drive fails for any reason, you can request a free replacement or money-back, no return required!
- 【Other Things to Know Before Purchasing】① Due to macOS limitations, the tray cannot be opened via the button after playing or burning a disc. To eject a disc on a Mac, right-click the desktop icon and select “Eject,” or go to “File” > “Eject” from the menu. ② Connect the USB 3.0 Type-C data cable (stored under the drive) to your computer—do not confuse it with the power cable

Received my Roofull External DVD drive yesterday and it worked without issues right out of the box. I like the cable storage in the bottom of the unit. I think I am going to really like this drive for a long time.

I received my Roofull external CD reader earlier this week and it was so easy to work. I just plugged it right into my laptop, placed my CD inside and there it went. I love it! So easy to use and works great!

I ordered the product a few weeks ago, I found it essential for the laptop I own does not have a built in disk drive. I’m happy to say that it works, and now I can enjoy the physical copies of games I own.

ROOFULL Customer Service (store manager) –
Because of the limitations of the Chrome system, there is currently no external optical drive that is compatible with Chrome OS. Sorry!

We needed an external CD reader due to our laptops not having a drive built into them. We received a photo CD and wanted to view the pictures. When researching possible DVD-RW external drives, the Roofull DVD-RW 3.0 received high reviews. The reviews were correct. The plug-and-play feature worked smoothly. In matter of minutes, we were viewing the photos. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase an external drive to purchase this DVD-RW external drive. Having the cord tucked into the bottom of the drive is a definite plus.

I purchased this external drive to fill the need of a media player that my new laptop didn’t have. I don’t think I could be happier with the purchase. I started watching a movie and was very pleased with the operation of the drive. Thanks for such a good product.

Works great with Win10. Locks up the operating system with Raspbian on the RaspberryPI 4b (latest OS on the nearly the latest RaspberryPi) Other USB I/O devices misfunction (keyboards/mice). Tried with and without USB3 Anker 7+3Powered port hub. Certified works with Linux I think, but Raspbian, based on Debian is a no go. 🙁

This CD/DVD drive is just what I wanted since I purchased my new laptop. I was somewhat skeptical about ordering it but it works just great. I am very happy Amazon offered your product. Thanks a lot!

We recommend you buy the external CD/DVD drive with a power supply cable. Ultrathin laptops may not supply enough power for an external CD/DVD drive, the extra power supply can ensure enough power.

This thing did nothing but frustrate me; it did not work on my iMac or my PC. When I tried it in my PC, I got an error message, and on the Mac, it did nothing but spin with the light blinking on and off before stopping. This must be a “lemon” version. I need to get a refund!
regretfully: Alsie Florence
ROOFULL Customer Service (store manager) –
Hi Alsie,
Do you plug the data cable directly into your iMac and PC instead of a USB hub? It seems to be a power shortage problem, please try a different USB port, this problem will be solved. If the problem is not solved, please contact our support team via support@roofull.com, they will provide you with further detailed steps or a free replacement immediately. Please trust us, we will ensure your satisfaction.
Thank you!
Best,
Alice

What more can you say when all has been said? It’s excellent in every way and great value. Question, however: You mentioned at the top downloading software—what would you recommend works best? I have a Lenovo PC, and it’s great in every way!
