Fantastic!
My Asus BluRay Writer didnt work for years as internal drive ( windows recognized, driver instaled no issue, but, could not burn even start burning anything). Now, in this external case/USB..working as new. Great metallic body, sturdy, easy install and i got one sata internal connection free for one more ssd. Like other posts, it is for shorter drives, please check yours, mine fitted as a glove.

Un producto robusto y que rezuma calidad
Compré este producto en enero de 2021 por 130€ aproximadamente. A fecha de hoy está bastante más caro, pero no puedo dejar de recomendarlo porque en estos 3 años recién cumplidos su funcionamiento ha sido impecable. El producto no trae software alguno, solo el alimentador (pequeño, quizá lo podrían haber includo en la carcasa, y un cable de datos USB 3 a USB A. Bien embalado, nada más sacarlo de la caja, el peso nos hace ver que es un producto robusto, en las manos todo es métálico excepto la parte frontal que pertenece a la unidad Bluray interna, una LG 16X. La unidad es muy contundente y elegante, no tiene problemas de reconocimiento alguno en Windows o Linux, no la he usado en Mac pero intuyo que tampoco habrá problemas. Todos los discos CD, DVD o Bluray que le he metido los ha leido a la perfección, y he grabado muchos de 25Gb sin ningun error, aunque esto es mérito también de los disco BDR. En fin, que es una compra recomendable, aunque quizá los más de 200 euros que cuesta a fecha de esta reseña, echen para atrás a más de uno.

Hefty case that looks great on a desk
I've had several optical drives from old Mac Pro systems and thought this would be a good companion for a Mac Pro. And it is, it looks great on top of a Mac tower case, it blends in. It's not meant to be portable - with an optical drive inside it, it weighs just over 3 pounds, and just over 2 pounds empty; it's meant to look great on your desk or shelf. Very solid construction, no sharp edges or other manufacturing issues. I knew it would come with a US power adapter only but luckily it works with 100-240V and it's the bog-standard barrel jack. It says it's USB 3.2 but I couldn't verify because I don't have any bluray drives that would saturate the USB bandwidth. I know I can burn DVDs at maximum speed.

Best USB external Blu-ray drive solution with a 5.25 Inch drive.
Very premium and robust aluminium (luckily not stainless steel anymore) case. Works flawlessly with macOS 11.6.

A pretty good enclosure
The enclosure was very well made. Cover was aluminum with inner casing with electrical connectors of good quality. It fits my Asus CD drive very snugly. I am pleased with my purchase. The enclosure with my CD drive work very well.
