Antika External CD DVD Drive TypeC USB 3.0 Extended Cable Backup Power Line Portable DVD Player Burner Reader for Laptop Desktop PC Apple Mac Macbook Pro Windows 10/8/7/vista/xp Mac osx10.6 Above

I bought this to go with my new laptop. The primary function was to digitise my CD collection which I started on my old PC. I was impressed with the price and hoped for the best but need not have worried. It worked straight out of the box (Windows 11 home) and I checked its functionality with various discs. So far it reads CD's and DVD's well and I've already ripped a couple of my music CD's. I also tried it with an old backup CD and a DVD I found from 2005 (yikes!) and it indexed and read those very quickly. It looks neat and tidy next to my laptop and I am happy with the length of the connecting cables, though yet to try the USB C connectivity. I have not tried and probably will not need to write to CD or DVD any more so can't comment on that. All in all I am very pleased with this kit for the price, it does the job.

This is one of the best portable DVD portable devises I've had for me laptop. A few months still providing great service. Lead a good length but would have liked it to be a little longer. For the price a great unit and highly recommended m

Arrived swiftly. Plug and play. Has done everything I've asked of it first time.

I'm very pleased with this drive and how easy it is to use. It was immediately recognised by both my Windows 10 Samsung laptop and Windows 11 Lenovo Desktop with no need for any additional drivers to be loaded. So true plug and play support.Both my laptop and desktop also provided enough power to the drive from a single USB 2 or USB 3 connection and so there was no need to provide any additonal power. It is however extremely useful that a external power cable has been provided in the box which would allow you provide a separate power source for the drive which might be prudent when writing large amounts of data to a CD or DVD to minimise the possibility of device disconnections if it draws more power than the single USB port on your device can deliver.In terms of discs, it has happily read my music CDS, retail data CDs for software installation without any compatability issues too. So it perfectly meets my requirements for a portable CD/DVD drive as most laptops and devices no longer come with optical drives these days.It feels quite robust and rigid and so I would expect it to be quite durable when transporting about in my laptop bag with my other devices. It also isn't overly heavy so doesn't add a great deal of weight in my bag. It has got four little rubberised feet on the base which helps it grip on shiny surfaces such as a desk and helps minimise any vibrations whilst the discs are being read.In terms of the casing, the finish seems ok for the price too with a matt underside, shiny sides and a sort of brushed diamond effect top which catches the light in quite a pleasant way.All in all this is just what I was looking for and for quite reasonable price.

I needed an external drive for my iMac to turn it into a DVD player. The Antika had excellent reviews and has proved a first class piece of equipment- easily assembled and installed and not requiring an extra driver. It looks very good too, fitting well under the iMac. Great value for money.

So happy can listen or watch to my hearts contentExcellent value. Lovely looking easy to use perfect for me

Does what it says on the tin. Seems well built so should last unlike some others I have had before. I haven't tried CDs but it handles DVDs (read and write) no problem. I haven't had to use the supplied extra power lead as it works well with the (also supplied) USB cable. No louder than any other external DVD drives from what I can remember. If you want to PLAY DVDs you will need your own software of course. I use freely available VLC.

Fantastic product, had to install VLC media player as I use windows 11. Easy to use. Great price.
