Review: No software for mac - I bought it for mac but there is no software for mac not on disk or online. Review: Very good external DVD/CD drive. Very compact, very light (all plastic) and a kinda neat ‘pocket’ to stash the usb-c cord. Few things I’ve noticed after using it for a few days… 1) it is so light you need to hold it down firmly when closing the tray 2) I find it better to use 2 fingers/thumbs to close the tray 3) sometimes gets a bit loud as the media spins Still, I really like it and it works very well. ## Features - Convenient cable storage: No more losses with a built-in 24cm connecting cable. - USB-C interface: Perfect companion for latest-generation ultraslim laptops. - M-DISC support: Store your precious photos, videos and data for up to 1,000 years. - Windows or macOS: Cross-platform support for broad compatibility. - Drag and burn: Create a disc in just three steps, via an intuitive interface.
