USB Superdrive for Apple USB-C CD Burner - Portable DVD Drive

In this review of the USB Superdrive for Apple USB-C CD Burner, the reviewer finds a practical, space-saving accessory for users who still rely on optical media and want modern convenience. It is best for laptop and Mac users who need occasional CD/DVD reading or burning plus a compact hub with wireless charging. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an external DVD/CD burner with a built-in 15W wireless charger and multiple ports, which reduces cable clutter and adds direct SD/TF card transfers to a portable drive.

Key Features

• USB CD/DVD Burner: Reads and writes CD-ROM, CDR/RW and many DVD formats at up to 8x DVD and 24x CD speeds for media tasks on the go.
• Built-in Wireless Charger: A 15W fast wireless charging pad supports iPhone12-16, Apple Watch and AirPods for cable-free top-up while you work.
• Multiple Ports: Three USB ports plus one Type-C data port let you connect flash drives and external hard drives without losing the optical drive function.
• SD/TF Card Slot: An independent card slot permits direct transfer of photos and videos from SD or TF cards into a computer or USB storage.
• Plug & Play: No external drivers required for Windows, Linux and Mac OS systems, and the embedded cable keeps the unit compact and portable.
• Safety Protections: Built-in safeguards protect devices from over-current, over-voltage and overheating during wireless charging.

Who It's For

This unit is ideal for MacBook and laptop users who still use CDs or DVDs occasionally and want a single compact accessory that also acts as a small hub and wireless charger. Photographers or content creators who move SD or TF cards between cameras and computers will appreciate the direct card slot and additional USB ports.

It is not for users who need compatibility with iPad, tablets, projectors, TVs, Chrome OS, or Blu-ray and 4K discs, or those who expect a built-in power adapter; a separate 15W power adapter is suggested for best charging performance.
