Seems well-made and works great with my LG Blu-ray burner.
Works great with my LG Blu-ray burner but I'm really pi#*ed that PC manufacturers are abandoning an optical drive bay as a default feature. So, this external drive is a terrific option if you gotta have a DVD or Blu-ray device attached. Mine is connected via USB 3. I leave it powered off until I need to use the drive. Noise level is zero except when I'm burning a disc.

Great product, great customer support
Since most modern PC cases don't have spots for external 5.25" drives anymore, I needed something that would allow me to keep using my optical drive. This is a great product. It's well designed, and fits my Pioneer BDR-212 which is too large for a competing brand's model.I can safely recommend this product based on build quality, but also on the manufacturer's customer service. When I was installing my drive in the enclosure, I accidentally pinched one of the wires on the SATA power cable and damaged the shielding. I emailed Vantec and received a prompt response, followed by a free replacement SATA cable.For what it's worth, I definitely recommend the product as well as the manufacturer. Just be careful not to pinch the wires as you install!

Solid, with minor cabling issue
The drive enclosure is solid, the weight is reasonably heavy, the screw fits the hole well. The one thing may get you into installation difficulty is the come with drive's data and power cable are in one piece which is NOT as show as separate cables in the sales pictures. This cause me extra effort in separating(cutting) the cable into 2 pieces - resulting one of the cable ended up unusable.
