From the optics me the drive has the same a little disappointed already unpacking.
I had hoped because of the materials aluminum like the MacBook ... but at 24 that's not there :(
The entire casing is made of plastic and therefore does not look really high quality,
the processing could be better, the edges could for example be a little less sharp.
The drive is plugged in via USB and recognized by my MacBook immediately.
CDs are inserted in front, only shortly before the CD has disappeared completely in the drive,
is then fed into the drive, this is the drive a few louder noises,
also when ejecting there to hear a few noises.
Eject can be the CDs, unfortunately, only in the user interface, but there is no button.
CDs are loaded and played without hesitation, but also DVDs!
On the product side is not really clearly stated, namely not :)
The volume of the drive is while playing in order,
However, one can not put on top, otherwise the CD surface touches the surface of the drive
and you hear a pesky noise, similar to a circular saw (only a bit quieter :))
Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the drive.
Here again the overview:
Pro:
- CDs / DVDs can be played reliably.
- Processing in order, or according to the price well.
Cons:
- Visually MacBook not worthy (in the price but not surprising)
- Noise when switching and ejection
Also one must not put on the drive, otherwise there is an annoying noise.
For noise, there is a star deduction,
Otherwise, I am satisfied and will keep it.
I give them a buy rating, who can live with the disadvantages
and where the optics of the drive like some extent.
