Plugged in both USB power cables, drive powered up and I put in a DVD-R to test. Drive spun up, then spun down and power light died. Unplugged, replugged everything but unit won't power on and appears dead; Tested the provided cable on a different bus-powered drive and that still worked — so it's not the power cable. Didn't have a 5v power supply handy to double-check on the drive itself. Basically DOA.

The drive worked just fine...twice. Put in storage for a few months, got it out and it had trouble mounting BluRay discs, then had trouble reading them, now doesn't power up at all. Tried several computers and OS's. It's dead.

Thank you for the feedback on the OWC Slim. We are sorry to hear that it is not working for you but we do see that we are currently working on a replacement for the product under warranty. We appreciate your patience while we solve this issue.
Nice price, easy install, works great. Wasn't the drive I saw the picture of when ordering. This one didn't have a front bezel. Emailed support and was told no bezel available. Support nice but didn't fix my problem. Have used OWC for years and still like the company, the products and service.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
