I'd bet the coaster issues are the result of the drive browning out. The USB 2.0 spec states that a port can provide up to 500mA, so from two ports you should only be able to get 1A, leaving you at least. The labeling on the enclosure lists 2A, which should be a worst case requirement. The drive is rated at 1.6A 5v, I'd guess that the USB interface probably requires another. I wager many of the issues other purchasers have had are the result of it.Īlso, the drive and enclosure consume considerably more power than two USB ports can reasonably provide. The internal interface is SATA 2, with the mini type power connector.Ĭons: The USB chipset is in the enclosure is terrible. On rebate the drive was ~42, make it about half what a bulk packed slim BDRW would cost. Its front panel is a non-standard size (perhaps 1-2mm larger than normal), but uses the normal clip based mount so it can be swapped. I used it to replace a DVD-RW in a SSF Dell desktop. Pros: The drive itself is fine, but you'll be best served removing it from the included USB enclosure.
