Laptop Slimline DVD Drive to USB Adapter Cable

One cable, one slimline drive, one USB port

• Plug in, no driver needed

  Connect the cable and the drive shows up on the PC. Nothing to download and nothing to install, so you can start reading discs within minutes of unpacking it.

• Slimline 6+7 pin connector

  The SATA end is built for the slimline 6+7 pin layout used in laptop optical drives. Check the connector on your drive before you order, because a standard 12.7 mm desktop drive uses a different connector and will not fit.

• Compact USB Type-A plug

  The USB Type-A plug fits the standard port on a desktop or laptop. The flexible black cable lets the drive sit beside your keyboard instead of pulling on the port.

Plug it in and start reading

1. 1
   Seat the slimline end

   Line up the 6+7 pin SATA connector with the slimline drive and press it in until it sits flush.

2. 2
   Plug the USB end into the PC

   Use a rear USB port on a desktop. Slimline drives draw power from USB, so a weak or hub-fed port can lead to unreliable reads.

3. 3
   Open it in File Explorer

   The drive appears as a new drive once connected. Insert a disc, open it, and read or burn as you would with any external drive.
