A CD ran fine, then crashed

Removing the old drive and installing this new GS41N super drive will take some time and effort. The first disc started and played well. The second and subsequent discs were either spat out or loaded after a vigorous grind. Obviously this is one of those discs that shouldn't have passed quality control. Based on product reviews, at least 10% of these drives fail or fail almost immediately. Of course there is no quality control. Given the effort required to remove the old drive and install a new

Worked once then died

The resulting drive played the first CD I put in with no problems. After ejecting the CD and reinstalling, it would not play. It also makes a lot of "seek noise" when inserting a disc and trying to read it. Sometimes it can read parts of the disk. All the discs I've tried playing on it play on an external CD/DVD drive on the same computer with no problems. I'm sending it back.

Garbage. Dead on Arrival

Don't waste your money. The disc was absolute junk. I installed it, put the DVD in and it sounded like a horrible plastic crunch and squeal. The disc is stuck, I couldn't eject it. The disc came back clicking and clicking non-stop. I had to disassemble the entire laptop again, remove the drive. Then disassemble the drive to pull out my DVD. When I disassembled the drive I found that it was clearly a used and refurbished (not very good) drive. The sticker says 2019. Apparently not. All internal…

Exact Replacement DVD±RW for MacBook Pro (A1278) Unibody

Received immediately. Exact DVD Drive Replacement for MacBook Pro (A1278) Unibody; works perfectly. It's easy to replace if you take care of the connectors, screws, mounting hardware, etc. If you have never opened the Unibody MacBook Pro, I would recommend watching the YouTube video on how to replace the CD/DVD drive on your MacBook Pro. This will make your task easier.

Waste of money for internal CD and DVD drives

This is the second I have bought from this company. The same happened to him after very light use. It no longer accepts blank discs (although burned discs will) and just throws them away. And yes, that includes DVDs and CDs listed as burnable. Anyway, for the same reason I replaced the first one I bought. Contacted the company, nothing helped. My advice, save your money and get an external drive instead.
