Very Portable. - Great CD DVD drive. I use it for my Dell laptop, and it was very easy to use. Had some software to install and this CD DVD drive was just what I needed. Simple plug and play. Love the thin design and that the USB connection cable easily stores flat on the bottom when not in use. It also came with a power cable in case needed, but so far, I have not had to use that. A perfect addition for my laptop. Now I can once again access stored and backed up files that I had on CDs. I also hope to watch DVD movies but have not tried that yet. The company was also very great and attentive to make sure everything was good. Highly recommend. UPDATE: I did put in a DVD to watch a movie and this CD DVD Drive functioned perfectly. Thumbs up all around! Review: Works for MAC with M2 chip - My purpose for purchasing this item is to read and extract data files from a CD. I use a MacBook Air and was skeptical at first when I bought this, given numerous negative reviews saying the device isn't compatible with macOS. I still gave it a shot, considering it wasn't labeled as a frequently returned item. I'm happily surprised to find out that it is compatible with macOS. The following is the setup I used that specifically worked for me. Even though it has the ability to connect directly to usb-c, I opted to use an apple adapter to connect usb-a to usb-c. I connected the power cable to an outlet and it ran smoothly. It was plug-and-play, no installation required. Aside from the case, it is a plus that the cables with the exception of the power cable can be tucked in under the device making it more convenient when stored. Overall, I'm satisfied with this product as it served its purpose. ## Features - 【External CD DVD Drive for Laptop - 1.65M+ Sold】If you want a simple CD/DVD drive without complicated setup, this ROOFULL ECD829-Y DVD drive — with over 1.65 million units sold worldwide and continuously optimized since 2025 — is a proven, time-tested choice.

None of my CD's fit and I have CD's that are both new and old. The piece in the center of the player compartment that the CD hole is supposed to fit on to hold the CD in place is too big and not centered so CD's aren't able to be placed in the player. Returning the player today. **Q: Is this compatible with catalina (mac os 10.15.1 on the 16" macbook pro)?** A: My Mac Book Pro 13 inch is running on Mojave vers 10.15.1 and it works well with it. Not sure if this helps. **Q: can this be used with a Amazon Fire tablet?** A: If it has a USB port it should work. It also has another plug that looks like an AmazonBasics USB which is smaller. **Q: Does the case have a pocket?** A: Yes. It has a side pocket that conveniently fits the included USB C/USB 3 cable. It's a beautiful, very well-made case. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Thin Design. Very Portable. *by G***R on January 22, 2026* Great CD DVD drive.

Thumbs up all around! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for MAC with M2 chip *by D***S on March 19, 2026* My purpose for purchasing this item is to read and extract data files from a CD.

He had to install DVD player software since his computer didn't already have it. He found that both the recommended 5KPlayer and VLC player software apps were easy to install and easy to use. Some people may have to temporarily disable their laptop firewall for the download/installation. As for the DVD player itself, it has a nice finish, is easy to use and does what it is supposed to (play DVDs), and it seems to be sufficiently solid and well built. The extra features that he really likes are that it has both USB and USB-C connections, and that it has storage slots for these connection cords when not in use. I believe the USB connections are 3.0, which has a much faster transfer speed than than 2.0. The unit also comes with a separate cord to power the unit if needed. This would not be needed when attaching to most laptops. However, it's nice to have just in case. Lastly, he also really likes that it has a very nice padded case for the player, which is great for storage when not in use or for transporting without scratching up the unit. The case has a main compartment for the DVD unit and a smaller side pouch, both with solid zippers and nice rubber tabs that make the compartments easy to open and close. The smaller external pouch is perfect for storing the power cable and the simple printed instructions. The literature/instructions that comes with the unit is not extensive, but is adequate since it's a very simple unit to operate. The few things that might be less than ideal are: 1) the unit is a bit thicker and heavier than some other units (not an issue for use, only potentially for transporting); 2) it's a bit noisy on starting to play a DVD, although not once playing; and 3) the top does smudge a bit with handling (very minor issue). He has only had it a few days so cannot comment on durability. However overall he seems to be quite satisfied with the purchase and I believe would recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - ROOFULL External CD DVD +/-RW Drive USB 3.0 & USB-C CD Burner DVD Player Reader Writer Optical Disc Drive with Carrying Case for Laptop Mac MacBook Pro/Air, Windows 11/10/8/7, Linux PC - Verbatim CD-R Blank Discs 700MB 80 Minutes 52x Recordable Disc for Data and Music - 50 Pack Spindle,Silver - Verbatim CD DVD Blu-Ray Clear Slim Jewel Cases, 5.2 mm – 25 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/148099036-roofull-external-cd-dvd-rw-drive-for-laptop-mac-usb](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/148099036-roofull-external-cd-dvd-rw-drive-for-laptop-mac-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
