Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is an aftermarket product

Overall a good product. The reason it doesn't get 5 stars.1. Directions roughly translated from Chinese. And I mean about 0.2. The instructions do not include setup instructions. You will receive a manual that consists of two sections. One has a description of the product and the other has instructions, which aren't instructions at all. I have a photo showing it.3. There is no official software for this device. A software CD is included, but it is outdated. Comes with a power DVD, the problem is this is the 2014 version. If you want to update the date, you need to pay 50.00. Because the free upgrade requires the member's email address. The price seems a bit high for the secondary market. In fact, this is Apple's after-sales service superdrive. Shown as "hp bd drv bd-5841h5" during installation. Processing quality is ok. The weak point will be the top of this product, make sure it is on a flat surface and nothing is leaning on it. I'm a little worried about the cord fraying with use. BTW, vlc media works well with it. And it's free too. I didn't have much time to explore this drive further, like burning projects. But I'll add my thoughts later. Update 07/05/2019 I finally had the opportunity to burn the project with the convertxtodvd software. I've been using this software for a long time. When it came to writing the converted project, I kept getting the typo error. It's more than likely that because it's a counterfeit Apple product it doesn't support certain drives, I don't know which ones. So this is seriously affecting my rating of this product. The final verdict is a waste of money.

  • Good product for the price
