5.0 out of 5 stars Good for movies on tablets
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } They work! I got two of these so my kids could watch movies on their Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablets during a recent road trip. Setup was simple, just have to install the app first. Kids (9 and 10 years old) were able to use them without help. I haven't tried on my phone yet, but my husband was able to get it to work on his phone (also a Galaxy). We're using padded envelopes as a protective sleeve when not in use, since they don't appear very rugged.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works right out of box on M4 Mac Mini
Finally found a drive that works with the Mac Mini M4. The problem with most drives is that there is insufficient USB power coming off the Mini to "light them up". This drive is compact, comes with two USB cables (I'm using USB-C. Mac is running Sequoia 15.3.2. All the drivers you need are built into the Mac software. Plug the drive in, insert a CD disc, and it shows up on the desktop. Drag the disc icon to the trash and the loading tray opens up so that you can retrieve the disc. Audio discs can be ripped straight to Apple Music with the Sequoia software. Just the way it should be.
4.0 out of 5 stars Does allow use on Android devices such as cell phones and tablets along with other Operating systems
Received the Hitachi LC DVD drive in a reasonable amount of time even with terrible weather conditions so thank you Bolo. What not happy with is the unit I received was a used item, box been open and item had been used by someone else. Apparently it must not have been what they expected so guess was returned back to Bolo. Sadly instead of Bolo placing this in their used / open box area to be sold it was again sold as being new never open or used. Usually there is a decent amount of price difference between new and used / open box items. So kind of feel as if was being taken advantage of just a little by Bolo. As for as the Drive, it seems to perform well using both an android cell phone and android tablet. Actually kind of amazing that it works as well as it does using only the one cable for power and data along with being a micro USB style connection which also means data transfer will be slower than using USB 3 data path. Though will say the transfer rate between drive and cell phone is decent so can't complain. Thought about doing a return for replacement or some type of discount since it was used even with the devcie working as notice some mentioned failure after only a few weeks of usage so not sure if the previous owner may have had this issue after a few weeks and why it was return. After checking about doing a return, notice that this model is no longer available so return for exchange is out of the question and do not see any other devices which mention will work with android devices. Since I do not have another external usb style DVD that could test and see if a windows base dvd drive would work also with android devices if using the right cable my only choice at the moment is to keep this one and hope for the best. Maybe Hitachi will see this or Bolo will see and contact me about a replacement if they have one which is new and working or provide some type of discount in case there are issues later on after the return / warranty period has expired. I would say overall it seems work as promise in their ads and is very small / light weight portable which could be very handy when using a tablet or cell phone. It is allowing me an easy alternate method to transfer pictures / documents to use on my tablet and cell phone without doing some other route such as wifi transfer or using flash drives and taking the time to transfer files from a CD / DVD to a flash drive then insert the flash drive into my android device so saves time and effort. I guess one nice thing is the concept of working with all types of Operating systems and its portable use making it easy to carry with you when is needed. I do like the idea of being able to quickly transfer files over from a DVD / CD to my cell phone / tablet quickly and also the bonus that it can be used for watching movies or listening to audio music cd's. Those features also work well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Kindle Fire 11
Finally!! A DVD player that is seen and works with my Kindle Fire 11... Several other portable DVD'S were never seen by the Kindle and were returned. Requires TrueDVD+, but so did the other useless units.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine playing CDs and DVDs on my iMac
I ordered this to replace my Apple Superdrive that finally went out on me. I wanted an external drive that only needed a single cable connection & was compatible with my iMac. Other drives I looked at had a two cable set up and I didn't want that extra cable on my desk.This was more expensive than other brands but I know Hitachi and LG electronics have a proven track record. I would prefer a slot loader to this tray mount but this works fine.This was a plug and play and played a CD and DVD without any problems. You can either press the button to eject or with a Mac you can eject it in FINDER.

Dediziertes Laufwerk eines klassischen Herstellers
Es ist immer äußerst schwierig, unter Android laufende optische Laufwerke zu finden. Unter Android 4.2.2 hatte ich mal so was, da jemand in Fleißarbeit ein bekanntes Tablet betreute und verborgene Qualitäten entdeckte. Seitdem hat es nie wieder zuverlässig geklappt.Da ich jetzt ein sehr großes Tablet habe, wurde das mal wieder reizvoll. Nach gemachten Erfahrungen mit Firmennamen aus der Buchstsbenlotterie 😂Mit Hitachi habe ich eine absolut klassische Firma gewählt. Das Produkt ist ganz ausdrücklich für Android gedacht. Nötig sind zwei Apps von Hitachi, weniger, weil als Anwendung nötig, sondern wegen der Treiber. Ich hatte leichte Anfangs- und Gewöhnungsprobleme, aber ja, es läuft ohne Trickserei. Es empfiehlt sich zur Betriebsstabilität ein OTG-Adapter, also irgendeine externe Stromversorgung im Y-Stil. Das erspart Warnhinweise und leergenuckelten Akku.Hinweis: Leider scheint VCL unter Android keine externen Laufwerke zu sehen, auch die Angabe von Stream-Pfaden klappt nicht. Das bedaure ich wirklich.
Very Clever
So glad that I spent a little more on one of these CD/DVD players from a proper brand. Well worth it. It has never failed to work regardless of which device I plug it into. I have never had to download drivers etc. Downloaded the Disc Link Premium software to my phone for ripping lossless CDs to my memory card and it works flawlessly. If a luddite like me can get it working smoothly every time then it's a pretty foolproof option.
