    4 out of 5 stars Solid Product   August 13, 2008
    David Fendley (Champaign, IL)
    This product is quite solid, and at around $20, it's hard to pass up. It has a solid, metal shell with a plastic faceplate. I've had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever, and installation is a snap.


    3 out of 5 stars Fan is way too loud   July 28, 2008
    K. Brown (Jacksonville, FL USA)
    The fan is so loud in this case I have to power it off when I'm not using the DVD writer I installed in it. It's actually louder than the PC I have sitting on the floor and that case has 4 fans in it. Other than that I have no complaints. If the noise doesn't bother you then you will probably like this very inexpensive case.


    5 out of 5 stars 5.25in External Enclosure   July 25, 2008
    D. Wu
    Currently using it with Windows Vista. Did not need to install anything and it works great. I connected a DVD burner to the enclosure; I have had no problems with watching DVDs or burning video files to DVD. The fan isn't too loud. A small con is that you have to plug the enclosure into a power outlet; it does not get any of its power through the USB connection. The enclosure I got is more round/oval than it is square, but it poses no problems for me.


    5 out of 5 stars Works...   June 7, 2008
    Furball (USA)
    Had an old CD-RW sitting around...so I ordered this to be able to use with an Asus Eee laptop. This alternative is so much more attractive & cheaper than purchasing an external drive. You actually get the same thing for a much higher cost...rather than just buying an internal drive & this enclosure.

    Sabrent EC-525K USB 2.0 5.25-Inch Aluminum 5.25-Inch IDE Hard Drive Enclosure for CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-ROM/DVD+RW/DVD-RE

    Bought for ide dvd drive from old computer(new unit is SATA, so would'nt fit internally. Works plug& play for Samsung and for NEC dvd drives. Plastic end caps as stated in other post and useless instructions but works great. I used a remote control plug and velcroed the remote to the front of desk to turn unit off and on without reaching to back of unit, so fan does not run all the time. Not noisy to me as noted in other post (perhaps noise is related to specific dvd drive. Hard to beat it at the price. Unit is rounded on edges and not rectangular as pictured.
