Review: My latest laptop doesn't have an optical drive as often seems to be the case these days. There are occasions when I still need the capability so I looked up these external drives. I realise streaming is one of the more popular means of viewing media in this day & age (I stream an awful lot myself), but it's not like everyone instantly stopped using CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray media, or completely stopped using them to store, or move important data either. 22 years ago my first laptop had a removable 3.5" floppy drive & CD-Rom drive, (only one of the drives could be in the dock at a time obviously & a reboot was required to swap drives too). It worked well enough but it wasn't particularly convenient especially at a time when hard drives were measured in mere MB's, not the TB's of today. Despite also owning multiple USB external HDD's, dozens of various data cards, & flash drives, etc., too, I still feel dropping optical drives completely was a bit of a backwards step personally. Ergo, this external drive has already come in quite handy for me. My laptop instantly discovered the drive & it immediately installed the relevant software drivers too. The drive was ready for use in seconds. It does the job well enough for its rated purpose but it's pretty noisy without the chassis of a laptop to dampen the vibration & noise of the spin speed. (The design is essentially an optical drive from a laptop inside an external case). It's supplied with a splitter cable in case you need the extra power from a second USB port when writing to discs, but thus far a single USB3 port has supplied enough power for both read & write operations on my newer laptop. (Whether you need to use 2 USB ports will come down to individual hardware). It looks good & seems well made externally, although the internal tray isn't particularly robust, & could very easily become damaged or inoperable if not exercising care!! External optical drives can get VERY warm too, especially when writing but this is to be expected. For the price, can't really grumble. Overall, not bad for light or occasional use, but I wouldn't rely on one like a dedicated internal drive in all honesty. Build quality could be better!! However, I would still recommend one if your device doesn't have an internal optical drive & you find yourself in need of one. 4/5.
