Cons
Expert Opinion
No professional reviews from major tech sites were found. A single non‑professional YouTube reviewer confirmed the device is detected as a USB 3.0 drive on Ubuntu, operates the tray correctly, and successfully burns and plays DVDs, recommending it for its price and basic functionality.
What Users Say
Everyday users praise the drive’s easy Linux compatibility, straightforward plug‑and‑play setup, and reliable basic DVD playback and burning. The most common complaint is a tight USB cable fit, and a few users note the lack of Blu‑ray support as a limitation.
Common Complaints
Tight USB cable connection that can feel restrictive when plugging in, and the absence of Blu‑ray capability for newer media formats.
What People Are Saying
“It works good!”
“very cool, burns/plays DVDs”
How It Compares
Compared to typical generic USB 3.0 CD/DVD burners, the Rioddas matches standard dimensions, weight, and read/write speeds, but distinguishes itself by including a Type‑C adapter and having a verified Linux plug‑and‑play experience. It does not offer superior cache size or faster speeds than most competitors.
