    Worked almost perfectly out of the box!4/22/2023 5:29:10 PM

    Pros: Worked really well, right out of the box... with one caveat

    Cons: The one and only issue I had was the usb3 cable provided was very short, about 3ft / 1m. If it is going to sit right by your computer, that may be enough for you. For me though, it needed to be longer, so I had to get a separate cable.

    Overall Review: Worked really well out of the box. I recently got a new case for my computer, and like most modern cases, it doesn't come with 5.25" bays. So... I got an external bay for my expensive Blu-ray drive. Works like a charm and I can now use it on whatever computer I need it on. USB cable was only 3ft long though so be aware if you need it longer.

    Handy Accessory for Optical Drives7/30/2024 6:35:24 AM

    Pros: -easy installation -sturdy enclosure means it will stay put -option to upgrade optical drive later

    Cons: -bulky compared to other external optical drives -requires power cable -not too portable

    Overall Review: With this enclosure, I was able to make my PC's internal optical drive into an external drive. Now I can use it with my laptop. Also, my next desktop case won't have to accommodate an optical drive, which gives me more case options.

    Pros: Prettiest simple, easy-plug-in play

    Overall Review: Most computers dont come with a CD DVD read/writer player, but I find them necessary and so thats why I took this CD out of an old build and put it in a case on top my new build

    Easy to use and set up.5/23/2024 6:35:36 PM

    Pros: It was pretty straight forward. The wiring was easy to use, I've had major issues using HDD enclosures from the same Company. Rubber washers were included to help dampen noise.

    Cons: Really it was only the cost, but that's not the Manufacturer's issue.

    Overall Review: I would recommend this product, and I'm glad I purchased it.

    Good enough for its purpose12/19/2022 5:31:43 PM

    Pros: - External DVD/Blue-Ray enclosure. - External power brick provides enough juice to allow burning a disc. - Plug and Play. No install needed. - Aluminum case. Sturdy.

    Cons: - 2 machined screw holes weren't aligned. So I needed some elbow grease to screw in place the last 2 screws. - Onboard SATA cables are very stiff. I was afraid to break them when trying to show the player in the enclosure.

    Overall Review: - Recommended, but don't expect premium quality. - You get a product for the price you pay.

    Easy to setup and works great with Pioneer BDR-208D Burner6/3/2022 4:14:41 PM
    img

    Pros: Fits longer length Blu-ray Burners. Power adapter support 3A which is needed for Burners USB 3.0 Cable included Easy installation with all parts needed (mini screw driver and all screw plus extra 2) Case stays cool

    Cons: The screw holes for the back and front panels are not easy to align so don't tighten the bottom screws that hold down the disc player/burner until you get everything aligned on the front and back as much as possible.

    Overall Review: With some new cases with ARGB Fans the cover the whole front of your case, you maybe missing a slot for a DVD/BR Burner so this is perfect for those who have an excellent burner and have old DVD's or BR disc that you want watch.

    Well built and works like a charm3/6/2024 6:04:21 AM

    Pros: - Great solution for legacy CD/DVD media, as most new PC's and Laptops no longer support it. - Well constructed - Easy to assemble - Looks great - Plug and play, no issues

    Cons: - A little pricey, wish I'd picked one of these up years ago. Think they were half the price then.

    Overall Review: - Recommended highly if you have an old CD/DVD RW drive, and have the need to access legacy media.
