As that reviewer mentioned, it is really seems too hard to close and not really acceptable (have to use one hand to hold the drive and the other to give the drawer a shove closed). Really have to 'slam' it closed or it just doesn't catch. As another reviewer noted this line of drives is VERY hard to close. Reviewer: MikeDelighted Age: 45-54 Experience Level: Home User Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 3/5 Drawer hard to close and uses 2 USB ports NovemI bought this drive as an 'open box' under a different SKU, so if my review shows as 'not verified' that's why.

If you need a drive to use daily, spend a little more on a different model. So my advice: buy it and keep it in your laptop bag or on a shelf if you are only planning to use it occasionally. I can't be too upset because it was inexpensive, and does exactly what I purchased it to do. I have to use something like a thin plastic guitar pick and slide it between the drawer and the case to flex the case enough to allow the drawer to close. However, just as some other customers have pointed out, the drive won't close! The case around the drive interferes with the drawer mechanism sliding back in.

I could then copy everything from those discs without errors. The drive actually worked just like I was hoping it would - with this drive I was able to read several DVDs that my internal optical drive just gives up on and spits out.

I was a little put out to notice that it requires two USB ports, but that's a pretty minor inconvenience, since my Mac Pro has two on the front panel. So I decided I'd spend a small amount on what is basically a laptop DVD drive in a case and see if it would work to read those bad discs.

I have noticed that my PC laptops seem to do better at reading damaged or poorly manufactured discs. I replaced it once years ago, but don't really want to replace it again because I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep the computer.

Verified Buyer Reviewer: TheCoffeeUnderachiever Location: Pittsfield Township, MI Age: 45-54 Experience Level: IT Professional Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 4/5 Good at Reading Damaged Discs ApI bought this because my vintage 2008 Mac Pro's optical drive is no longer reliably reading some CDs and DVDs. Thanks for the feedback, and hope we can assist in the future. We are hopeful that this global crisis will be over soon, taking away the shortages/supply issues as well, and hoping we can all return to a state of normality. Currently there is widespread/global disruption in many supply chains, not just our own, for many different products and materials, however we still work and do our best to provide those products as much as we can, and if there is any delay, we do our best to keep our website updated with the estimated time it will take before an order can ship, because we realize that customer's still need solutions. For any products or components that we have to get overseas, if they have delays and/or shortages, it reflects all the way down to the customer, and unfortunately a lot of those delays is out of both our control as well as everyone else's. We do our best to provide any and all kinds of solutions, and while supply/stock is not usually a problem, COVID has continued to cause various problems in the supply chain for many manufacturers and companies, including us. Response from OWC, Support OctoThanks for the feedback and my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you. This review is from OWC Slim 8X Super-Multi DVD/CD Burner/Reader External Optical Drive with M-DISC Support. Why not just remove the items from the website until you actually have them? Or, explain the supply issues right on the product page and let people know that you have no idea when the product will be available? I am guessing that Covid has seriously changed the company's customer service capabilities for the negative. I am now looking for alternative Mac product suppliers since my old go-to source is no longer reliable. Not at all what I expected based on my past experience.

It was a very disappointing and less than optimal customer experience. It was explained to me that they couldn't get all the parts needed to sell these drives, so I had to make a purchase of an older style tray drive they had in stock to enable me to complete the work I needed to do. Rating: 1/5 I Never Received It OctoAfter waiting for weeks, this item never arrived and I had to contact the sales department about it.
