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.

Fits my Blu Ray / MDisc drive perfectly
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.

Perfect solution for reusing an old optical drive on a new PC (apart from the plug)
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.
