## Description

Enjoy fast, hassle-free CD/DVD playback and burning with this slim, brushed-texture external drive. Powered by USB, no extra cables needed - just plug in and go.

Review: Excellent! Super easy to use and a great price too - Having recently had to buy a new laptop I found most do not come with a built in CD drive anymore, so I needed to get an external one for playing CD's DVDs and also buringing/ripping my own CDs, and I saw this one on offer. I haven't used this brand before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but honestly I'm really impressed! The item itself is small, slim and lightweight but pretty surdy, and the connecting cable that is attached tucks neatly away underneath when you are not using it, so it;s easy to take with you and doesn't take up much room. I keep mine in my laptop bag. It doesn't say so on the box but it works perfectly with Windows 11 too. You literally plug it in via USB cable (there is an extra cable so you can use both types of USB port) and it starts to work right away (the correct screen comes on for what you are using it for). I've tested it out playing my discs but also burning and ripping CDs and it's super easy to use, it does the job quickly, records and plays perfectly and the sound quality is excellent. I'm not great with tech usually to be fair but using this was no problem for me. I would definitely buy again and happily recommend if you are looking for a no fuss great quality external CD drive.
Review: Fast, reliable, well built - I regularly buy CDs and then rip them to FLAC format, but my old CD player was very slow since I migrated to Linux Mint. I bought this CD player to see if there was a difference. I'm glad to say that there is an enormous positive difference. I ripped the same CD using both my old CD player and this Rioddas model, and to ensure it was a fair test, they were both plugged into the same USB port. When I finished the test with one, I swapped the drives and then rebooted the computer to ensure there were no residual incompatible drivers lingering. The old CD player took 15 minutes to rip the whole CD. The Rioddas took 7 minutes, which is a significant difference. There were no errors during the reading process (the software I use reports all errors). The old player managed to get up to 3.5 times nominal read speed, whilst the Rioddas got up to 8.5 times, again, significantly faster. When I get a box-set of CDs, it will no longer be an all-day task to rip them. The drive looks and feels like a quality machine, and the eject works properly through software as well as the button. The simple USB-A connector enables connectivity to almost every computer, and it is light enough to put in a backpack so you can use it down at the local coffee house or library. Not tested: 1. DVD reading 2. CD and DVD writing With the above two caveats, I would recommend this drive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, does anyone know if this will work on imac running os catalina please**
A: Worked with mine, but stopped ejecting after a few uses which meant I had to unplug, replug and press the physical eject button every time. Massive pain in the backside. I wouldn't buy another of these.

**Q: My think pad does not have a cd play on it, i have just bought a rioddas ts-l632h from you and note to ask you for the free software to run it please**
A: I was unable to find the necessary software on the internet to be able to get the CD drive to work with Windows 10 so I returned it to Amazon as it was not as advertised or fit for purpose

**Q: Does it work on smart tvs?**
A: Wouldn't be sure as smart TVs use customised versions of android/Linux.
There's only one way to find out. Worst that can happen is TV and anything around it will magically disappear 😂. Or the TV just won't recognise it.

**Q: Can i use this just to play cds directly through a speaker, without using a laptop? Thanks**
A: No.  You need some " intelligence" between the CD and speaker to control the two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good value for money CD/DVD drive solution
*by K***Y on 15 June 2025*

Bought this with the main purpose of being able to rip my audio CDs to mp3 so I can listen on my phone. Device was very easy to get working; a short (approx 10cm), hard-wired USB 3.0 cable provides enough power for the unit to run and after a few seconds it showed up as expected in Windows 11. There is an option to connect a Micro USB cable to supply additional power should you only have USB 2.0 options. At the time of writing, I haven't run any speed tests on it or tried writing to a DVD/CD, but it took approx 10min to rip a 50min audio CD. For the price, I'm happy with it's performance & it's nice and compact so can easily stashed away when not in use. Only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that the tray itself does feel slightly fragile but I don't think this will be an issue unless you're heavy-handed.
