Score: 78/100Rankings
The PeroBuno External CD/DVD Drive offers an 8-in-1 solution with optical burning, USB hub, dual card readers, and a 100 Mbps Ethernet adapter, all powered via USB. Its DVD/CD speeds are adequate but not top-tier, and the Ethernet is limited to 100 Mbps. Best suited for travelers and remote workers who value multifunctionality over peak performance.
The YOTUO External CD/DVD Drive is an ultra-slim, lightweight optical drive offering fast 24× CD and 8× DVD speeds via dual USB 3.0/Type-C connections. Its rugged flame-retardant shell adds durability, but detailed noise and heat specifications are lacking. Best suited for travelers and students needing a portable, reliable burner.

Professional reviewers commend the YOTUO drive for its ultra-slim, lightweight design, fast 5 Gbps USB 3.0/Type-C connectivity, solid 8× DVD/24× CD speeds, and rugged flame-retardant shell, describing it as a reliable, portable solution for modern laptops lacking built-in optical drives.
Consumers repeatedly praise the drive's portability, the protective fleece pouch, and the convenience of dual USB interfaces, while noting a lack of detailed information on noise and heat, which leaves some uncertainty about long-term comfort.
“ultra-slim 1.8 cm / 0.4 kg design, 5 Gbps speeds, 8x DVD/24x CD performance for smooth movie/software/disc tasks, and consistent magnetic core power delivery without lag.”
“runs great”
“really quiet”
Professional reviewers rate the PeroBuno as a solid mid-tier external DVD drive, praising its 8-in-1 versatility, quiet operation, and fast enough DVD burning speeds. While the plug-and-play USB-powered design and included carrying case are highlighted as conveniences, critics note that its performance does not match premium competitors and that older OS compatibility can be problematic.
Everyday users appreciate the fast USB 3.0 transfers, easy plug-and-play setup, lightweight portability, and the extra USB ports, Ethernet adapter, and card reader. Common praise centers on quiet operation and satisfactory burning speeds, while recurring complaints involve compatibility with older operating systems, limited card-slot simultaneity, and the 100Mbps Ethernet cap.
