The only thing I would've wished for is about 6" more on the cable - it's great if you have the drive sitting just to the left of your MacBook Pro, but not great for anywhere else :-) The drive is just as fast-and loud-as it is inside the MacBook Pro, and luckily, due to the case being plastic and fully covered, there are no vibrations or rumbles. However, the cable is a relatively high-quality Apple-style USB cable (it's hard to distinguish it from the cable on the Apple keyboard, except it's a tad thicker), and it gets all the power it needs from a USB port on the MacBook itself (doesn't work as well on an unpowered hub). so if that cable's damaged, that's the end of the drive. The drive is powered by a single USB cable, which is hardwired into the case. Unfortunately, there were no instructions included, so I had to figure out things on my own. for installation-this is a snap-and-go affair. I was a bit surprised to see no screws, no holes, etc. It came in a box that took maybe 3 minutes to open, due to the weird FedEx label on it, but everything was packed nicely. I ordered one a week ago, and got it today. (You can also get the enclosure as part of a couple different kits sold by MaxUpgrades.

It's called the USB External Enclosure for Macbook Pros Unibody Optical Drive, and it sells for $24.95, plus shipping (about $5 for ground shipping in the U.S.). Well, of all the options I found, the cheapest and simplest looking one comes from MaxUpgrades, a lower-end, but very competitively-priced company for nice computer upgrades/parts.

How do you watch rip DVDs, install disc-based software, or burn DVDs or CDs? One way would be to buy the Apple USB Superdrive (about $80), or a cheaper alternative (like this Samsung drive for $40).īut, since you have the internal SuperDrive from your MacBook Pro already, there should be an easy and cheap way to just put that in a USB enclosure, right? No more discs in the side of your MacBook Pro. If you want to make your MacBook Pro a true mobile workhorse, there are few things you can do that are better than adding in a second hard drive (for capacity or RAID), and/or swapping out the main hard drive for an SSD and loading your OS onto that (it's ridiculously fast!).īut, when you do this, you have a major tradeoff: you have to lose your optical drive. Case design has its flaws, but it works pretty well. Modern PCs will automatically detect the drive when it’s plugged in, so it’s usable in seconds and is also quieter than most competing models.Tl dr: A good way to get some use out of a displaced internal SuperDrive. However, blu-ray cannot be read on the DVD drive, but it’s an easy-to-use option that comes at an affordable price.
