I used it to house a redundant Panasonic/Matshita BD-CMB-UJ-120 DVD/BR player from an old Sony laptop which had failed (cannot even boot). Fitting was straight forward: separate the upper and lower halves, plug drive into socket at inside rear, fit front bezel (this is included), refit top, and fit a couple of screws through the rear of the case to secure the drive in the case.It was recognized straight way by Windows 10, but would only play audio cd's at first. I came back a couple of hours later and found it would now play DVD's but not Blue-Ray. I then updated my blue-ray player (Power DVD) and it will now play CD's, DVD's and BR's. Now happy, and I would recommend it if you have an old player. The extra power lead was not needed. Make sure you get the one with correct connector: IDE or SAT. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Laptop drive housing *by S***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2011* This housing worked fine, i installed a spare laptop bluray burner that i had saved from my old Sony laptop, the only problem i have got is that the drive i used had a Shaped tray end trim shaped to fit the sony,i had to remove the trim to fit the drive into the housing, and the housing did not come with one shaped for the housing, so now no end trim. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Just doesn't work *by P***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2012* Out of the box it does not work, the adapter is not recognized by the USB interface. The adapter does not give any sign of life except the spinning of the disc inside the optical drive, that, is embedded in the firmware of the drive, when you power it on, it tries to recognize the disc, and apparently it does but from the adapter not a single sign of life on two different computers. So, for me, this is an expensive piece of garbage.
