User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone noticed the usb cable provided seems like usb 2 instead usb
Answer:	Indeed, the cable is USB 2, not 3. This shouldn't be an issue, though, because the drive speed is the limiting factor. Reading & writing CDs & DVDs (not Blu-Ray disks) is slow enough that USB 3's high data rates are wasted.
Question:	Will it play bluray disk also
Answer:	Im sorry, the product will not play blue ray
Question:	can it be used with a mac? I have a new macbook pro running yosemite
Answer:	Yes it does work on Mac, BUT the drive will not mount until you insert a disc into the drive. I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra. On Sierra, I tested it against USB-c, which is the smaller port found on newer (2017 and forward) Macbook Pros. I used a USB-c to USB-a adapter to do so. It worked fine.
Question:	Will this play on Windows
Answer:	will this work on a lenovo ideapad with windows 10

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work with Windows
Answer:	MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! We have not tested this combination. You would need to consult Western Digital to see if USB 3.0 hubs are supported. At this time we cannot recommend it for this use.
Question:	Does this drive support CD-Text
Answer:	It can charge devices, with two ports working offline (without PC connection), but if you got lots of hungry devices, you're better off buying a dedicated charging hub as they'll charge faster and provide more offline-capable ports. The Anker USB chargers are pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Charger-Multi-Port-PowerPort/dp/B00YRYS4T4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1472143492&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=anker+usb+charger&psc=1
Question:	does this work for surface pro
Answer:	Yes, but only if not plugged into a computer to use as a USB hub. For example, keep it plugged into power, use the two special flip up USB ports to charge an iPad, but not have all the other devices plugged in. This has limited use because most people will want to use the 10 ports somehow and plugged into a computer as a hub. Still, it will charge your iPad in an emergency if used in that fashion. I see the description of the item has been updated to reflect this.
Question:	can this be attached to a tv to watch dvd
Answer:	(This message is from the manufacturer) Our recommending hub for the Raspberry Pi is the 7 port model shown here: http://plugable.com/2012/10/25/raspberry-pi-and-plugable-devices To answer the question for this newer USB 3.0 hub: This 10 Port USB 3.0 hub's 48W (~9A at 5V) available pwoer is shared across all 10 ports. The two swivel ports send special charging signals that trigger BC 1.2 compatible devices to charge at higher rates. The Raspberry Pi, however, doesn't look for any special signaling, rather it just pulls what it needs. So as long as there is enough power total and no voltage drop at first boot, it'll be fine. The 7-Port hub shown above has been tested across thousands of RPi systems, which is why we recommend it for that scenario. Thanks!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.
Question:	Does this work on macs
Answer:	Won't work with Mac 10.15.7! It was working before; now it seems useless. I see someone else is having this issue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with a dell xps
Answer:	i bought this item over 5yrs ago and it is long dead. the light scribe did come with it ,again, many years ago. I dont know why you'd want to use the more expensive discs ,they never do work well, hard to read , not very dark and, most important, leads to a faster demise of the laser. it burns out the laser much faster when i burnt light scribe discs. i have made over 2,000 dvds over the years. i now just invest in hard drives and back up to them . the stuff on the hard drives load much faster and no need to open/close the dvd player/burner every time. on the drive can do one right after the other. i guess for light use light scribe is fine and for that ok. i bought dvds by the 100 pack and liked it much better when i hand labeled them. and my HP 20x , and 16x drives lasted twice as long. i used 3 1040s and 2 other HP external as well as lite on and samsung and sony. lite scribe ones only lasted 12months , one only 9months with high use. i am only doing personal stuff, too.
Question:	Is it compatible with Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series
Answer:	Yes, it works with Windows 10.
Question:	can you watch movies
Answer:	Excellent product, recommended and very useful
Question:	Is this compatible with Windows
Answer:	Possibly. It will physically replace an HP dvd1140 dvd drive but the HP dvd1140 uses IDE/PATA technology to interface between the dvd drive and the computer motherboard. This drive (HP DVD±RW DL LightScribe SATA Black Optical Drive 581600-001 575781-500 DH-16AAL) uses the newer SATA technology to interface between the dvd drive and the computer motherboard. If your computer motherboard has a SATA port it will work. I would also expect it to work if it was connected to a PATA/SATA controller card or something that converts SATA to PATA.

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone have problems using this with windows
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: It's supposed to work with Windows 10 but it does not work. I didn't return it when I should have - hoped to get it to work but I didn't. Wasted money!
Question:	Will this play cd/dvd's on my lao top? is that what it is for
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: I have been unable to use this player. I wanted to return in but since it has so many positive reviews I decided to hang on to it and keep trying but it still is not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have an all-in-one HP with Windows 10 and it usually plays DVDs flawlessly but the DVD 'door' came off and it no longer works so I purchased this...it does not work. The disc goes in, then it makes all these grinding sounds and then-nothing. It stops. Before I throw it in the trash-any suggestions?
Question:	will this cd drive work for still photos and videos
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Will I need to download a driver to install programs from CDs to my laptop or does it work like an internal drive since it's plug&play
Answer:	From page 5 of the Amicool User Manual: Precaution: Item 3. Whether the drive can be recognized depends on the internal driver program. Almost all older operating systems contain an internal driver program that can recognize the CD drive directly without installation. Please make sure that your computer has the internal driver program. If you don't have one yet, please feel free to contact us. We can send you a link to download a driver. I am waiting for a response from Amicool.
