Review: sturdy and good one - sturdy and good one Review: Hefty case that looks great on a desk - I've had several optical drives from old Mac Pro systems and thought this would be a good companion for a Mac Pro. And it is, it looks great on top of a Mac tower case, it blends in. It's not meant to be portable - with an optical drive inside it, it weighs just over 3 pounds, and just over 2 pounds empty; it's meant to look great on your desk or shelf. Very solid construction, no sharp edges or other manufacturing issues. I knew it would come with a US power adapter only but luckily it works with 100-240V and it's the bog-standard barrel jack. It says it's USB 3.2 but I couldn't verify because I don't have any bluray drives that would saturate the USB bandwidth. I know I can burn DVDs at maximum speed. ## Features - Portable - CD Burner - Quiet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XRCCV44 | | Best Sellers Rank | #132,379 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #227 in External CD & DVD Drives #98,551 in Computer Accessories & Peripherals | | Brand | OWC | | Brand Name | OWC | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 2 | | Compatible Devices | PC, Laptop, Gaming Console | | Customer Package Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,585 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Form Factor | Box | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 5.25 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Weight | 3.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer Part Number | MR3UKIT | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Name | OWCMR3UKIT | | Model Number | OWCMR3UKIT | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Optical Storage Read Speed | 48X CD | | Product Features | CD Burner, Portable, Quiet | | Special Feature | CD Burner , Portable, Quiet | | Specific Uses For Product | traveling, external use with laptops and gaming consoles | | UPC | 812437023701 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OWC - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Hardware Platform:** PC - **Optical Storage Read Speed:** 48X CD - **Special Feature:** CD Burner, Portable, Quiet ## Images ![Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+-qK04H1L.jpg) ![Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717fl-WGhTL.jpg) ![Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IwJaNJX-L.jpg) ![Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Uq8Zq43ML.jpg) ![Mercury Pro 5.25" Optical Drive External Enclosure - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WOZ7Sr+tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ sturdy and good one *by K***R on 7 February 2022* sturdy and good one ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hefty case that looks great on a desk *by M***C on 5 December 2020* I've had several optical drives from old Mac Pro systems and thought this would be a good companion for a Mac Pro.
