Overall Feedback:
77% positive
95% liked the connectivity options, but 5% disagreed
I appreciate the built-in cable with two connector types, but it could be a disadvantage if the cable goes out in the future.
The external CD-RW DVD-R Combo Burner has two type A USB ports and 1 type C port, making it easy to connect to a desktop or laptop without a built-in player.
I like the connectivity options of the external cd-dvd drive as it provides both a usb-a and a usb- connection.
I recommend the external CD/DVD drive as it works well and there is no reason not to pick it up if you have a specific need.
