USB C SuperDrive for Mac: External CD/DVD Drive for Laptop MacBook Apple Slot-in CD Burner DVD Player Plug and Play for Windows PC with USB 3.0 Adapter Aluminum(Silver)

Working great with M1 Mac mini. Shipping was quick and no issues

I received the Confoly USB-C Superdrive last night. This superdrive is a hub to hub connection on my new MPB thunderbolt 3 port. When I first connected it I saw nothing on the desktop or anywhere else on the Mac computer. When I inserted a CD into it, iTunes popped up with all the information on the CD. When I inserted a DVD into the drive "My DVD Player" (software that comes with the Mac) opened, and started to play the movie. When a disk is inserted you will see a disk on your desktop right click on it to eject the disk. The superdrive is a solid piece with no eject button, and the drive does not open. The drive behaves just like the superdrive Macs used to come installed with. This is an extremely easy device to use, and feels very sturdy. The Confoly comes with a USB adapter in case you do not have the thunderbolt USB-C port on your computer. I would recommend this product to a friend.

I tried to install it on my Mac Mini M4 Pro. It makes a lot of noise as if something is happening but nothing comes up. I have the VLC app as recommended. The drive is not recognized at all regardless of researching and trying everything. It is going back. I emailed them twice over a two week period but never heard from them. I also posted a contact request here on Amazon and never heard back. I also had no way of retrieving the DVD I inserted. Finally, i saw it peeping through and I was able to remove it. I was about to bust it open to retrieve my valued DVD.

I'm a happy camper with this! I just burned a 1965 oldies hits album to my 2019 16" MBP laptop & I'm listening to it as I type.. Before that, I viewed a 25 yr-old cd with photo files. All uploaded easily. Here's what you get: DVD drive with permanently attached USB-c plug, Optional USB plug (see photo) Well- padded, zippered case Owner's manual in broken English - but all you need to know is there if you have patience to figure out what they are trying to say. I had no issue.. TIPS: 1. When you plug drive in, nothing will show up on your screen until you put a cd/dvd in the drive, so don't despair! 2. EJECTing: there's no manual eject button on the drive; you eject from your computer. On my MBP (running OS Catalina) I eject from Finder, or drag drive's icon to the trash. HUGE CATCH: But in order to eject, I have to FLIP THE DRIVE OVER (black side up). This is in the owner's manual (pg 5 under "Disk was Stuck".) No clue if all of these operate this way, but the fact that it's mentioned means they know of issue...To me, not a deal-breaker. The usb-c plug fits a bit too snug imo into the port (not sure this is harmful to the laptop) Initially, I was thinking of returning the drive due to the "flip over to eject" issue, but having gone went thru hell trying to connect my Apple Super Drive to my laptop to no avail, I decided to get a drive with a usb-c plug. (Apple says the Super Drive is compatible with the newer MBP's..if it is no adapter worked) After hours on the phone with Apple, with them trying to trouble-shoot, I finally gave up & ordered this drive. If you also failed to get your USB Apple Super Drive to connect to your usb-c-only MBP (I tried with the Satechi adapter Apple sold me!!) , then this cheap little drive works, so I don't mind having to flip it over to eject disks at this point. I thought I would never be able to play cd's or watch movies on this new MBP laptop since Apple took away the internal cd/dvd player that older MBP & others had. Some people prefer to play our cd collection amassed over the years, rather than spend more money for the same songs they already own..Young people don't seem to get it. Finally, people should READ MANUALs before posting bad reviews, as most issues are covered!

I almost returned my 2017 MacBook Pro when I found out it had no DVD/CD drive but upon researching, I realized Apple phased them out years ago (my last computer was from mid-2012, one of the last to have one). I read that Apple's SuperDrive worked horrendously and a review suggested this NOLYTH external drive as a best bet. When it arrived, I loved the case it came in and that it had a USB 3.1 connection as well as an adapter for a USB-A cord. It utilized plug-and-play and clicked into my computer easily. But when I inserted a blank DVD-R drive to test it, it clicked several times and then ejected. I tried it with an actual DVD and it clicked several times and then ejected. I went here on Amazon and saw some people with a MacBook Pro complained of the same problem. I contacted Coco at Confoly and sent a video of the issue. Coco realized I had the drive upside down -- the NOLYTH logo goes on the bottom and the blank silver side goes on top. This felt counter-intuitive (maybe it's an American thing) but it immediately solved my problem and I've since burned two DVD-Rs seamlessly. What a relief! And it kept me from having to return my computer for its lack of a DVD drive.

Bought a new MacBook Air, didn't want to pay the Apple fee for an external drive. After reading several reviews the Nolyth was chosen. To be transparent, the first unit received did not work. The connection directions were followed but the unit would not accept a disc. Customer service was contacted and we collectively tried troubleshooting the unit. After making sure the unit was defective the company accepted the return and immediately shipped a new unit, no questions asked. The new external drive unit was connected according to the instructions and worked immediately. It is a universal unit so a DVD was tested and a few CDs ripped to iTunes. Everything worked perfectly, hence the five star review. Customer service is really there and is a person that communicates with you. It is refreshing to experience great customer service and that's what you get when you buy this unit.

Initially, I was very impressed with this drive. Build quality of the drive enclosure and packaging were excellent. I ran a quick test and the drive worked fine with reading and writing CD's. However, I found it difficult to load the cd's without rubbing and scratching them on the case of the drive. This wasn't an issue on my last slot loading drive. The problem with this drive is the at the padding (felt?) around the insert slot is set back and you have to pass the CD through part of the metal case first. If the cd insertion angle isn't just right (the margin for error is very small) the CD will rub against the lip of the case. I can probably get 8 out of 10 cd's inserted without a problem if I'm very careful. But any potential to damage a disk doesn't work for me. I'm transferring a few hundred CD's into Apple lossless (had used ACC previously) including some SACD's that are not replaceable. So I found using this drive too much like playing a game of "Operation" and returned it. In place of this drive I purchased the OWC Mercury Pro (there is a DVD and Blu-Ray version) which I would highly recommend if you don't need portability. This is tray loading, has great build quality, and has better specs. The downside is that it's more expensive and also much larger & heavier. There is also a tray loading version of the NOLYTH/Confoly drive that looks like a good option too.

I got this DVD drive mostly because it is a few one that has a usb-c connection to go straight into my macbook without adapter. It's an outstanding product from a cost/quality perspective What I also like about this device: - it just works as expected out of the box. I just connected it to my mac and it was immediately recognized as an external drive - it is a pretty quiet unit; it actually have the same level of noise than the internal drive in my old iMac - it comes with a nice, sturdy and padded travel case to protect it - it has a 2 years warranty

If you have considered purchasing an Apple USB Supedrive don't bother. Buy this one instead. Its form factor is the same, its silent operation is the same, its build quality is the same, except this one comes in two MacBook Pro colors grey or silver, it has an adapter in case you want to use USB A instead of the USB C which is attached to the drive, it even comes with a high quality case which Apple didn't bother to give. This is one heck of a great buy and I am delighted!!! 5/5 stars for this incredible value!!

After only 2 months of occasional use, this dvd drive no longer works and unable to return it for a refund. My advice would be to spend your money on somewhere else.

Ce lecteur est vraiment compatible avec Apple, avec Windows, etc. Il est rapide et silencieux.

Does the Job, looks well made i expect it to last based on a day of use so far.

Works exactly as described. The overall look and feel of the device is almost identical to the Apple Magic Drive, at almost half the cost.
