Product is great, but…
I needed it since my new laptop and latest desktop don’t have dvd players. Works great on macs. Wasn’t working on my Windows laptop, then I reversed the 2 usb plugs and it worked fine.
It was backordered and took several months to receive. I was asked to resend the paypal payment more than once, and it looks like I was charged twice. Support referred me back to paypal, they are looking at it now…
This is the worst product I've ever bought from OWC
So it works, sort of. It's hard to get the disks on the platter for one reason because it is difficult to OPEN the tray. Then closing it is an adventure as well. Oh and it either will or won't eject the disk when using it. And, it takes up 2 USB ports. Spend more maybe you'll get more...It reads and I've not tried writing to it yet.
I'm sorry to hear about the problems you are having with the optical drive. I'll be checking with you by email to see if we may be able to help with how it is performing.
