Antika External CD/DVD Drive USB 3.0 & Type-C Burner Reader Writer
Key Features
- USB-A & USB-C ConnectionConnects to compatible laptops and desktop computers without needing a separate data adapter.
- CD & DVD Reader/WriterDesigned for reading, playing and burning supported CD and DVD formats. This is not a Blu-ray drive.
- Extended Data CableThe longer cable gives more flexibility than a short embedded lead and stores conveniently with the portable drive.
- Backup Power SupportAn additional power lead can supplement low-power computer USB ports when the drive is not recognised or lacks sufficient power.
- Portable Plug & Play DesignNo separate hardware driver is normally required on a supported computer; suitable disc software may still be needed.
Antika External CD/DVD Drive for Windows & Mac
The Antika external CD/DVD drive adds optical-disc reading and writing to a compatible laptop or desktop without a built-in disc drive. Use it to install compatible software, access files, play audio CDs or DVDs, and burn supported CD or DVD media using suitable software.
Its dual USB 3.0 Type-A and USB Type-C connectivity suits a wide range of computers. The USB interface supports data transfer up to 5Gbps where the host connection allows; actual optical read and write speeds are limited by the drive and disc format shown below.
The extended cable gives useful reach, while the separate backup power lead can provide supplementary USB power if the computer's data port alone cannot operate the drive reliably. For best results, connect directly to the computer instead of an unpowered hub.
