Mobile External Optical Drive (DVD-RW) & HDD Drive - USB Port

The CTDW Mobile External Optical + HDD Combo Drive is a versatile solution combining a pop-up tray DVD-RW optical drive with a built-in HDD/SSD enclosure in one portable unit. This hybrid drive lets users both read/write CDs and DVDs and access or store data on a SATA hard drive or SSD, making it ideal for laptops or desktops that lack an internal optical bay or extra drive slots. The unit connects via USB (often USB 3.0) so it works with most modern computers without requiring a separate power adapter. Its slim, pop-up tray mechanism ensures easy loading and ejection of discs, while the HDD slot is accessible through a cover or removable bay. This makes it perfect for media playback, software installation, disc backup, disk cloning, and data storage — all in one compact device.
