Read and burn discs on a laptop that has no drive. USB 3.0 and USB-C connections plus SD and microSD slots, working the moment you plug it in. Reads and burns discs: Handles CD-R, CD-RW and DVD±R/RW, so you can play old discs, rip a music collection or burn a backup from a machine with no optical drive. USB 3.0 and USB-C: Two connection types in one drive, so it works with an older laptop and a modern USB-C machine without an adapter. SD and microSD slots: Reads camera and phone cards alongside discs, so one device covers optical media and memory cards. Plug and play: No drivers or software on Windows, macOS or Linux, and it draws power over USB, so there is no separate adapter to carry. Specifications Supported media: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±RW Read speed: up to 24x CD, 8x DVD Write speed: up to 24x CD, 10x DVD Interface: USB 3.0, USB-C Card slots: SD, microSD Compatibility: Windows 7 to 11, macOS, Linux Dimensions: 14 x 14 x 2 cm Power: USB powered Plug it directly into the laptop rather than through an unpowered hub, since optical drives draw more power than most USB accessories and can fail to spin up on a shared port. Use it to play, rip or burn discs on a laptop without a built-in drive, and to read camera cards from the same device.
