ORIGBELIE TP888-NEW External CD/DVD Drive, USB 3.0 Hub and SD/TF Reader

Use the ORIGBELIE TP888-NEW to play a movie from DVD or move files from a CD to a laptop without a built-in disc drive. Its USB-A and USB-C data connectors suit different computer ports. The built-in hub and card slots also support everyday file transfers and desk accessories. It brings together disc access and extra connections in one portable device.

Key features

Read and write CDs and DVDs for tasks such as playing music, viewing movies, backing up files, or installing software from a disc. Supported formats include CD-ROM, CD-R, CD±RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD±R, DVD±RW, DVD±R DL, VCD, and SVCD. Maximum read and write speeds are 24x for CDs and 8x for DVDs.

The USB 3.0 interface supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.0. The built-in USB-A and USB-C data cable offers two connection types without an adapter. Four USB ports—one USB-A 3.0, one USB-A 2.0, and two USB-C—provide room for compatible accessories, while the SD and TF slots make it easy to transfer photos and videos from memory cards. The SD and TF slots cannot be used at the same time.

Plug-and-play operation lets a compatible computer detect the drive without a separate driver installation. Error correction and noise-reduction features support disc use, and the RGB indicator cycles through colors while the drive is in use. Buyers commonly praise its simple setup, compact design, and convenient USB-A/USB-C connections.

Practical tips

At 6 x 5.6 x 0.7 inches, with an ABS enclosure, the drive is compact enough to keep with a laptop or place on a desk. A storage bag is included for carrying it between home, work, and other locations. If you mainly need to read discs, the optical drive handles that job, if you also transfer camera files or connect accessories, its card reader and USB hub add those functions in the same device.

Connect the drive directly to a computer’s USB port using its built-in data cable. For a desktop, use a USB port on the computer rather than a separate USB hub. The included USB-A-to-DC power cable can provide supplemental power from a 5V charger or power bank if the computer’s USB port does not supply enough for drive operation. This power cable is for power, not data.

Usage tips

For movie playback or disc burning, use compatible media software on the computer. Windows 11 requires a media player, such as VLC, and a network connection. On Mac, the drive icon appears after a disc is inserted and read successfully, eject discs through macOS. When using encoded DVDs, the operating system may prompt you to set or change the drive’s region code.

Practical questions

Can it read and write both CDs and DVDs? Yes. It supports the listed CD and DVD formats, with maximum speeds of 24x for CDs and 8x for DVDs. Blu-ray discs are not supported.

Which computers and operating systems does it support? It is designed for laptops and desktop computers running Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP, or Vista, Mac OS 10.6 or later, or Linux. Windows 11 requires a media player and network connection for DVD playback.

Can the card reader and USB ports be used alongside the disc drive? The drive combines disc reading and writing with four USB ports and SD/TF card slots. The SD and TF slots are available individually, not simultaneously.

Is it worth it?

For a computer without an optical drive, the TP888-NEW offers a practical way to keep using a CD or DVD collection and handle disc-based backups or software. Its USB-A/USB-C connection, integrated card reader, and extra USB ports make it especially useful when a compact setup needs more than disc access alone.
