To eject a disc on a Mac computer, you need to right-click the desktop icon and select "Eject", or select "File" > "Eject" from the menu.

Reading and Writing Speed:
1.This CD/DVD drive supports USB 3.0 and can provide data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. Although it has up to 8x DVD read/write speed and 24x CD read/write speed, the drive reads and writes CD/DVD discs at speeds that increase from the inner circle to the outer circle, and the starting speed is usually lower, reaching the maximum speed when reaching the outermost circle.
2.Recommended speeds (CD: Reading Speed: 24x or lower/Writing Speed: 8x to 16x; DVD: Reading Speed: 8x or lower/Writing Speed: 4x to 8x). For DVDs, slower writing speeds like 4x or 8x are often ideal to ensure data integrity, particularly for high-capacity or dual-layer discs. These speeds allow for more precise data encoding, reducing the risk of read errors in the future.
