Review: Does exactly what it's designed to do - I bought this external CD drive in order to install some speech-to-text software I bought ages ago but was never able to use because my laptop with a disc-drive broke down before I could install it and my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive. As it turns out, the software is now somewhat obsolete, so I uninstalled it again immediately, but the drive works really well and is very easy to use. The only really downside is that the USB-C cable is incredibly short, which makes it a little inconvenient because of how and where I use my laptop, but this has obviously been done to facilitate the unit's portability, so I understand the reasoning behind it. The bonus is that I have quite a few PC games on discs which I haven't been able to play for ages, but now I can install these on my new laptop. It also has ports for SD cards, which is useful. All in all, a decent piece of kit at a reasonable price. Review: Works as expected - Easy to use, just plug and play really. Looks good, durable, exactly as needed. The cable that came with it was quite short, as used as an external, wouldn't be ideal for those who would need to plus it in the back of somewhere, but since my USB ports are on top of my computer tower, it's handy not to have a really long cable hanging about. ## Features - 【5 in 1 CD DVD Drive】Our optical drive is not only a external CD DVD disk dive burner,but also a multifunctional USB hub.

Again I have to stipulate I have not tried this myself so I cannot guarantee it will work. **Q: Does this definitely work with windows 11** A: My laptop's OS is Windows 11 and the disc-drive works perfectly. **Q: what media player do you use with it for windows 11?** A: Hi, I had to download an App, which is free. 'VLC media player'. The logo is shaped like a traffic cone, with orange and white stripes. Once installed, I was able to play DVDs through my laptop. The app though does offer other technical facilities. However, I was only looking for something basic and it does that job. I have not used any other options in the file folder. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the cd/dvd have a burner program like Nero to burn cds or will I have to download the program?** A: NO. You will have to provide your own burner program such as Nero as you say. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does exactly what it's designed to do *by L***9 on 11 September 2023* I bought this external CD drive in order to install some speech-to-text software I bought ages ago but was never able to use because my laptop with a disc-drive broke down before I could install it and my new laptop doesn't have a CD drive.

The cable that came with it was quite short, as used as an external, wouldn't be ideal for those who would need to plus it in the back of somewhere, but since my USB ports are on top of my computer tower, it's handy not to have a really long cable hanging about. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by B***C on 3 November 2023* As with many an electronic product manufactured abroad, the instructions are rather vague and slightly ambiguous. Took me a little while of head scratching to get it going, when I did of course, I realised it was not so difficult at all and the DVD R/RW worked very well. Would recommend both the seller and the product. Thank you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Labtec External CD DVD Drive for laptop Windows 11 10, USB 3.0 and Type-C Portable CD DVD +/-RW ROM Drive Reader Burner Rewriter with SD TF Slot & USB Ports, Slim DVD/CD Player for Linux, Mac OS - Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD Card SDCS2/128 GB Class 10 (SD Adapter Included) --- ## 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.be/products/518675367-labtec-external-cd-dvd-drive-for-laptop-windows-11-10](https://www.desertcart.be/products/518675367-labtec-external-cd-dvd-drive-for-laptop-windows-11-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
