Score: 71/100Rankings
The Laurensory external DVD drive offers fast USB 3.0 connectivity, dual USB-A/C ports, and solid CD/DVD performance in a compact brushed-metal case, but it lacks Blu-ray support and compatibility with several modern devices.
The ROOFULL External CD/DVD Drive is a portable USB 3.0 optical drive with dual connectors, extra USB ports and card readers, offering fast data rates and a 2-year warranty. It lacks Blu-ray capability and is heavier than some competitors, but its hub functionality and included accessories add value.
