I need this external CD drive exclusively for einrippen my CD collection. I must say that I from the very beginning with the introduction of the CD such discs on the shelf have ... It is these older CD's but not read by all, particularly the current Blu-ray drives, not from the original Apple USB drive. I have now hergenommen all prolematischen CD's and lo and behold, this drive from TEAC is not only very fast (average 4 to 5 minutes for a music CD), but it has all (!!) read my spurned by bluray LW CD's - really great! This drawers drive is great processed, a "paper clip-hole" for emergencies has (what the current Apple incidentally also missing), an ordinary operation LED (blue) on right side and a green LED front, which indicates an inserted CD. It has no permanently attached USB cable but a USB-B socket and the included USB cable into the Y version (with 2 USB-A connectors on the device -1x Power - 1x signal), which is very well made and a has length of about 80 bzw.100cm length. The only downer is that the two device-side cable to the USB connectors have only 20 cm distance, which is too short for a MacBook Air, on my Mac mini, it fits it very well! Who is looking for a great and reliable LW for DVD and CD, and at a fair price of about 42, on top of that - EUR is very well served = unrestricted 5-star recommendation!
