Works as intended

Slightly cuts noise level, makes my life easier. Definitely necessary if you want to make your setup look a little cleaner. I had to run my computer surge protector a bit so it could plug in, the cord isn’t the longest. Functionally perfect

Seems well-made and works great with my LG Blu-ray burner.

Works great with my LG Blu-ray burner but I'm really pi#*ed that PC manufacturers are abandoning an optical drive bay as a default feature. So, this external drive is a terrific option if you gotta have a DVD or Blu-ray device attached. Mine is connected via USB 3. I leave it powered off until I need to use the drive. Noise level is zero except when I'm burning a disc.

Pricey but very satisfied

Pricey, but there aren't many options left for someone who needs an enclosure for an internal optical drive. That said, it was an easy install and it works great.

High quality, overpriced for what it is.

Great product, great customer support

Since most modern PC cases don't have spots for external 5.25" drives anymore, I needed something that would allow me to keep using my optical drive. This is a great product. It's well designed, and fits my Pioneer BDR-212 which is too large for a competing brand's model.I can safely recommend this product based on build quality, but also on the manufacturer's customer service. When I was installing my drive in the enclosure, I accidentally pinched one of the wires on the SATA power cable and damaged the shielding. I emailed Vantec and received a prompt response, followed by a free replacement SATA cable.For what it's worth, I definitely recommend the product as well as the manufacturer. Just be careful not to pinch the wires as you install!

Works great. Only had one hiccup so far that was fixed with a reset. So far I've ripped 25 movies with make mkv and I was able to flash my drive with this enclosure as well. Setting it was a breezeBurn rate is awesome too. Almost hit 8.0x ripping 4k's. Now I gotta upgrade my nas
