But older CD-ROM programs and CD storage discs can still be used with most laptops. This DVD system reads all discs, but also has a USB-2, USB-3 and SD card reader built on top. It's so inconvenient with thin laptops that just have a couple of card slots built on their sides. This unit puts everything you need right up front. No drivers needed to install either, just plug and play. If you wish to watch DVD movies, you'll have to download your favorite free app. Not a big deal since there are so many software options to choose from and many types of computers and operating systems out there. Definitely a great buy! Review: It is very Good ! - Plug and play right out of the box. You can't do any better than that! It's fast, it's quite and it does more than I hoped it would. And the price is more than reasonable. I highly recommend it. ## Features - 【5 IN 1 Optical Drive】- The Unitek external optical drive not only read CD DVD, but also can be used as an external laptop USB hub, including 1 USB 3.0 port, 1 USB 2.0 port, 1 USB C 2.0 port, SD card slot, compatible with USB hard drive, limited/wireless mouse& keyboard, computer radiator and other USB computer accessories.

It's fast, it's quite and it does more than I hoped it would. And the price is more than reasonable. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value for the Price!!! *by K***R on February 26, 2026* I've been using the Unitek External CD/DVD Drive for a bit now, and it’s turned out to be a surprisingly versatile little device — much more than just an optical drive. If you’re someone who still needs occasional access to CDs/DVDs and appreciates having extra connectivity options, this model delivers great value. What I Really Like • A 5 in 1 design It’s not just a disc drive — it includes USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB C ports, plus an SD card reader, making it a handy mini hub when working on a laptop with limited ports. This came in clutch when transferring files from my camera’s SD card. • Plug and Play Simplicity No extra drivers or setup steps were needed. I just connected the built in USB A/USB C cable, and my computer recognized it immediately. The integrated cable also tucks neatly into the base, which makes storage easy. • Wide Compatibility I tested it with Windows 11 and it worked well. The listing also confirms compatibility with macOS and Linux but I didn’t try it on those devices. I used it with a couple of different apps and it worked well with all of them. • Good read/write performance It performs on par with what you'd expect from a solid modern external drive. I was not able to test out it speed when burning items to a disk but when transferring items from a disk or a SD card to my computer it worked well and didn't take long at all. What Could Be Better • Short built in cable While the stored cable is convenient, it could be a bit longer depending on your desk setup. You may need a USB extension cable if your ports are hard to reach. • Plastic build is lightweight It’s portable, which is great, but it doesn’t feel as sturdy as some heavier metal cased alternatives. Who This Is Perfect For • Anyone who occasionally needs to install software or watch movies from discs • Photographers who want a simple way to access SD cards • Laptop users who need a quick temporary USB hub • People who appreciate plug and play devices with no fuss Final Verdict Overall, the Unitek External CD/DVD Drive is a smart, multifunctional accessory. If your computer lacks an optical drive and you want something that adds extra ports and SD card transfer capabilities, this unit offers a lot of versatility for a reasonable price. It’s reliable, easy to use, and thoughtfully designed for portability. ## Frequently Bought Together - Unitek External CD DVD Drive, USB C Portable CD/DVD +/-RW Drive/DVD Player with SD Card Reader USB 3.0 USB C Hub CD ROM Burner Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows Linux OS Apple Mac - Lacdo Shockproof External CD DVD Hard Drive Sleeve Storage Pouch Bag for Burner Player Writer Blu-Ray BlueFire/Asus/LG/Dell/Asus/Pioneer/HP/VersionTech Neoprene Portable Protective Carrying Case,Black --- ## 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.at/products/572341222-external-cd-dvd-drive-usb-3-0-type-c-portable](https://www.desertcart.at/products/572341222-external-cd-dvd-drive-usb-3-0-type-c-portable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
