About Guamar External CD/DVD Drive
Overall Feedback:
66% positive
71% highlighted the software compatibility, while 29% were dissatisfied
I am unable to use the drive on my Mac as it is not compatible with Chrome, Safari, and neither with my old nor new Mac. The drive immediately ejects an inserted disk and no icon appears on either desktop. I cannot read, write, export or import data.
73% were satisfied with the noise level, but 27% raised issues
I faced difficulty playing a DVD using VLC after plugging the drive in via USB-C. I tried several times to connect and disconnect the drive, but it didn't produce better results. After that, I used a regular USB port and tried again, but it was the same result. But after 3 tries, it recognized the DVD and I could watch the movie. I tried again with different DVD and this time it worked immediately.
71% liked the connectivity options, but 29% disagreed

When I recorded DVDs using Toast 17 and played DVDs with the new Apple DVD Player, the tablet worked perfectly.
I connected it to my desktop PC and it worked.
I checked the compatibility of the external CD DVD drive with my operating system before buying it, and it was specified as compatible.
