 ripped off July 13, 2010

The first day I got this item I tried to use it on two different dvd drives and it would not work at all. The product looked undamaged but my computers would not recognize the product even after using the cd.
 DVD burner enclosure March 13, 2010
L. Ashworth
The LCD monitor on my laptop failed due to a circuit board failure, so I wanted to salvage everything possible. This enclosure worked great! It was very easy to install my DVD drive which I removed from my two year old HP9743cl notebook. I can now use this as a DVD burner for an old Toshiba laptop which could only play CDs and DVDs, and burn CDs. Well worth the price!
 Didn't work for me. March 5, 2010
Consumer (New England, USA)
I have two old but functional laptop drives. I tried it with both of them and it didn't work. I tried it on Mac and PC...still no dice. The drive would spin a little and light up, but I couldn't get either computer to recognize it. You may have better luck. Also the drivers come on one of those mini-sized CDs. If your computer can't use those....no dice. Sabrent's website did not have any drivers when I checked.
Build quality seemed average at best....about what you'd expect for the price.
 Basic Enclosure February 7, 2010
Brrr in Alaska (Land of the Midnight Sun)
The case is semi-hard plastic rather than aluminum. I prefer aluminum cases. The cords that come with the enclosure are rather short, maybe 2 1/2 feet, if that. For the price, it's fair for what you get. For something a bit more rugged paying maybe $15 more would be worth it for aluminum casing and a longer USB cord. Does come with a flat face plate to add to a drive to make it sit flush with the edge of the enclosure.
It Worth It! I converted a Apple SuperDrive to a External Burner for Windows! January 10, 2010
D. Devine (Houston, TX)
I had a 6 year old Apple SuperDrive that came from a 15" PowerBook G4 A1046 it w as 2X Super Drive with 16X CD-R Write Speed. I do a lot of work on computer repair I wanted to buy this since I got a lot of PATA or IDE DVD/CD Burners. It reads the disk and burn fine. Just this enclosure is Windows ONLY. I thought I try a Apple SuperDrive in the enclosure on Mac that was running 10.5.8 to see if it would pop up and I tried a Blank CD and a DVD Movie nothing. I tried on Windows 7 and booted up just fine. In fact I didn't have to install any drivers off the CD. See pictures above! This is worth the money!
