Review: Great CD DVD and RW Drive Player!! - I bought the Roofull External DVD-RW Drive to watch the DVD versions of the TV series LANDMAN. It comes in a nice soft-sided carrying case that zips closed. An external pocket on the case contains a connecting cord that has a USB 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other end. That small pocket also zips closed. I did not need that cord, as a connecting cord is already attached to the player--this cord folds neatly into a slot on the bottom of the player. The connecting cord has both a USB 3.0 connector and a USB-C connector on it. I used the USB-C connector since I could set the DVD player right next to my laptop, which is a Dell 13" XPS computer. I called up a DVD player app; inserted the DVD of the series in the player; and the episodes displayed immediately on the laptop screen. I clicked on the episode I wanted, and the player started immediately. The player worked perfectly and was very easy to connect to the laptop. I was extremely satisfied with the purchase--good value for the price.
Review: Great Product look no further - This product is great. Worked right out of the box and it has two adapters USB A and C. The price was excellent and the data transfer was rapid. It comes with a nice protective case and is light weight. Look no further and purchase this. I used this device on a windows 11 Lenovo Thinkpad.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: None of the dvd's/cd's i bought seem to fit, is this a problem on my end? or did i order something wrong**
A: I have the exact same problem. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great CD DVD and RW Drive Player!!
*by J***Y on March 9, 2026*

I bought the Roofull External DVD-RW Drive to watch the DVD versions of the TV series LANDMAN. It comes in a nice soft-sided carrying case that zips closed. An external pocket on the case contains a connecting cord that has a USB 3.0 connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other end. That small pocket also zips closed. I did not need that cord, as a connecting cord is already attached to the player--this cord folds neatly into a slot on the bottom of the player. The connecting cord has both a USB 3.0 connector and a USB-C connector on it. I used the USB-C connector since I could set the DVD player right next to my laptop, which is a Dell 13" XPS computer. I called up a DVD player app; inserted the DVD of the series in the player; and the episodes displayed immediately on the laptop screen. I clicked on the episode I wanted, and the player started immediately. The player worked perfectly and was very easy to connect to the laptop. I was extremely satisfied with the purchase--good value for the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roofull external DVD/CD writer drive excellent WHEN USED WITH CARE!
*by T***. on August 2, 2025*

Like most external optical drives this one seems fragile. Handle with care. But it DOES work flawlessly when used with gentleness and discernment. The first one I received malfunctioned; it would not eject a disk in the drive. I returned that unit and requested a replacement. No instructions were included with either unit, but the Roofull people sent me an email of instructions after my return. This unit has a data USB cable and a power USB cable. It seems the power USB cable should be connected BEFORE the data USB cable is connected. That is the only difference in my use of the two units. The second unit has performed flawlessly. I give it less than 5 stars because instructions are not included in the package and the average user would make the same mistake I did when connecting the USB cables. The price was good and the operation is good, I recommend this product!
