The data transfer speed of the external CD/DVD drive is acceptably fast for both reading and writing of CDs and DVDs.
If you need a fast burner, it's better to go with an internal drive as the external drive is slow at burning due to being a USB drive.
The built-in USB cable is too short and creates space problems for desktop or lap. It seems like a poor tradeoff for the advertised 5Gbps transfer speed.

I personally tested the connectivity options of the DVD drive and found that the USB A and C connections, SD card slot, and burning a Light scribe image all worked as expected.
I am satisfied with the noise level of this external CD/DVD drive as it has resolved the problems I was experiencing and is handling downloads with amazing speed.
The external CD/DVD drive was plug and play and worked well on my Mac Pro the first time I tried.
