Please note that this enclosure is designed exclusively for "standard" SATA CD/DVD drives that are 9.5mm ONLY. I had a hard time finding a good quality enclosure. Most of what I found were cheap looking plastic ones that looked like they barely fit together. This on the other hand is very very well made. The outside housing is made of aluminum which has some weight to it and keeps this thing from sliding around. The inside is a sturdy plastic tray with the electronics on it which the CD/DVD is mounted to with 4 screws. Everything aligned perfectly. The tray with the CD/DVD drive attached slides into the aluminum housing and is secured with two more screws to the housing. It also comes with 4 rubber feet that one can attach to the bottom of the housing to prevent sliding of the unit and scratching of furniture. The USB cable that connects this to your computer is not a standard cable. The end that attaches to the enclosure is a non-standard USB connector. If you lose it this unit is useless. Not sure if they sell replacements. The cable allows you to connect to USB 3.0 ports and 2.0 ports. The 2.0 port connections requires you to have 2 available ports (one for date and an extra for power). The 3.0 connection only requires 1 port. My DVD was the one with a slot vs a tray. I would assume that this would also work for a tray loading DVD drive but I cannot verify this. The front bezel on my DVD drive was a bit wide for the enclosure and was being warped. I solved that by filing down the ends 1mm on each side of the bezel. Overall an excellent excellent product. I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a 9.5mm tray for their "standard" SATA CDDVD drive.Read full review
