Score: 86/100Rankings
A 5-in-1 USB 3.0 external CD/DVD drive that adds a hub and SD reader, built with recycled materials and fast transfer rates, but limited device compatibility and modest build quality.
The ORIGBELIE drive delivers solid CD/DVD performance, a useful USB hub and card readers in an ultra-slim, lightweight package, while lacking Blu-ray capability and having some region-lock and quality-control concerns.
