Worth the price for those who need a reliable external drive case.
Nice looking external drive case. Works perfectly. Power supply plugs in to a socket in the back of the case, instead of being permanently attached. This is an advantage because it allows for replacing the power supply if needed. I also like the fact that the USB connection port on the drive is the full-size USB 3.0 type B port that is rarely seen these days. Much better than that flimsy micro-B connector that so many companies use now. I use it with a Blu-Ray drive, ASUSTek BW-16D1HT. Well made. A bit expensive but worth the price in my opinion.

簡単に接続できて安定したブルーレイ動画を鑑賞できました。静かで温度も低いのでよかった。きになることは高価であることと届くまで10日もかかった。8日も発送案内がなくキャンセルするか迷った。他のサイトではここより40パーも高いので売り惜しんでいるのかな?競合が出やすい分野なので待つのもありかと思います。

簡単に組み込む事が出来ました。 使わないままのCD-Rが利用出来て良かったです。性能の高い製品とPC組込み品との差が歴然で音の静かさに改めて感心してしました。 製品の質感も良かったです。

簡単に、内臓DVDを継ぐことができ、とても良い商品です。win11のNECのノートで、ドライバーが正しく認識しなくて困りました。バイオスを初期化したら認識して使えるようになりきした。

価格は少し高いと感じましたが、作りは良いです。 長さがある機器にも使用できる余裕があるのも良いです。

GtuneのミニタワーPCを買ったが、光学ドライブが付いていなかったので、今まで使っていたPCからBDドライブを外し今回買ったこのケースにBDドライブを入れて光学ドライブを使えるようにした、動作は特に問題なく動作した、ノートPCでも問題なく動作した、メイン電源スイッチが後ろにありますが、ドライブがオートオフタイプなので特に問題なかった。

パイオニアのBlu-rayドライブが付いて良かったです。別のケースだと長さが足りなくて当たってしまい取付出来なかったので。

内臓BDの外付け用筐体です。とても高価な価格ですが金属製黒塗装の筐体と前後は硬質プラ製形で、しっかり感があります。SATAは電源と信号が一体となっているオス型で接続です。BD本体とは底の4つのネジ(同封)で固定、後ろの外部接続パネルも側面で4つの同じサイズのネジ(同封)で固定されます。小さいですが4つ脚のゴムのインシュレーター(同封)をつけて装着完了です。高価格で購入を迷いましたが品質が良く満足しています。問題なくPC本体と接続できています。

Well impressed with this. You just plug in the SATA cable that comes with the device then slot the drive in until flush. Plug and play USB, works great. Very stylish too, it's made of a nice metallic finish so it's a solid quality product.

Great piece of kit. If you have a suitable optical drive (I had one reclaimed from an old PC), installation is a doddle, and this enclosure is nicely built and works perfectly (on Windows 11 in my case). My main reason for wanting it is to still be able to rip CDs on my new optical drive-less PC, and it works exactly as I expected/hoped. My old drive still rips at high speed (I watched it go up to 37x in my first test). DVDs and Blu-rays play fine with a standard player app. The enclosure comes with USB3.0 cable, screws and screwdriver to secure the drive, and rubber feet. The only frustration is that it comes with a US plug, so you'll need a UK-US plug adapter. UK mains voltage/frequency is fine.

Good build quality. Easy to slot drive in. Works great.

Front and rear frames are made of plastic. Just the body itself is made of aluminum. Positive: The case also fits for longer DVD or Blu-ray drives. In regard of shipping to EU countries the provided power supply unit, which is not suitable for EU power connections, has to be substituted which generates additional costs - just to keep this in mind.
