Amicool External DVD Drive Review

Do you still own a desktop or laptop with a Cd/DVD player ? When my last computer met its' fate the replacement laptop did not have a CD/DVD player. At the time I wasn't concerned as through the years had pivoted away for media and store all documents and photos in the cloud.

Until ... I decided to tackle the media from years ago. In all forms saved on Cd's, DVD's, USB thumb drives and on and on. The library actually offers a digitize service free of charge; however, the wait list was long. Instead an external DVD drive was purchased for under $25 and it works like a charm.

The Amicool had over 11,000 online reviews with average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. A great affordable alternative for laptops and desktops without an internal drive. 

Features 

Slim, light and unobtrusive the Amicool is features packed:

DVD Drive

USB 3.0 C CD Burner

Cd/DVD Optical Drive Rewrite

Backward compatible

Compatible Windows 7-11

MacBook Mac Linux OS Apple

Recommendation

I highly recommend and this drive delivers as promised!

  1. Yes, when we purchased our last laptop, it didn't have an internal DVD drive/player either. For me, it was rather distressing since I enjoy watching my DVD's on my laptop. I had to purchase an external DVD drive as well. While I still consider it a pain to store it separately, using it is really easy and I have gotten used to it. Thanks for the great recommendation! I certainly paid more for mine. I will mark this review to return when we need another DVD drive in our household, which I am sure we will.

  2. This is terrific information, Tracey. Just yesterday, I set up my new computer and remarked that it did not have a CD slot. I have no other CD player, so no way to play my collection of CDs. Now I do. This is a well-time review. Thanks so much!
