To be thinner and lighter, the latest laptops provide fewer and fewer ports or even cancel the USB-A port. However, we still need enough USB-A ports to connect external devices like wireless receivers, Bluetooth adapters, wired mice/ keyboards, etc. To address this issue, this 8-in-1 external CD/DVD optical drive also integrates multiple extension USB ports and SD/TF card slots that make it easy for you to access videos from cameras or surveillance systems.

The data cable embedded under the drive has USB 3.0 & USB-C two kinds of connectors on the end, making it easier to connect different laptop or desktop computers without an adapter required and no worries about losing the data cable.
* Due to the limitation of the design, the data cable length is about 27 cm/ 10.6 inches.
In addition to the data cable, this drive also comes with a USB to micro-USB power supply cord. If the USB ports on your computer cannot supply enough power via a single data cable, you can connect this separate power supply cord to a 5V USB power bank or power adapter to ensure sufficient power supply.
* The power cord is not a data cable, avoid using it independently.
It's not only a CD/DVD optical drive burner but also equipped with additional 3 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port, 1x SD card slot, and 1 micro-SD card reader to hook up your other external devices and SD/micro-SD card, alleviating the trouble of insufficient interfaces on your computer.
* SD card slot and micro-SD card slot cannot be used at the same time.
Compact and portable design, making it easy to take with you wherever you go (home, office, or on the go). Ensures your device is protected from dust, water, and drops.
