Good combination! on Computer Accessories & Peripherals

Very happy with this kit. I bought this to replace my optical drive/DVD player with mid 2009 13 inch MacBook Pro. Everything went smoothly, no problems. I was very happy using the tools provided even though I had my own. / the case is made of plastic, i would like metal, but i don't see a problem with that, i would buy more.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • What can I add?

Half great, half bad

Overall I'll only give 3 stars with the following comments: 1. The hard drive cage worked great, the tools that came with it were perfect for the installation and there were no problems with it.2. The Superdrive case on the other hand didn't work at all, nothing, null, bookus. So my macbook runs with exactly 2 hard drives but I ran out of a superdrive, now I have to look for a working case or a replacement external optical drive.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Only available in black

Worked perfectly for my needs, installed in a 2012 13" MacBook Pro (non-Retina) and everything worked perfectly, SSD installed in the case (2012 MBP has SATA 3 6Gbps in the optical bay ) and it's FAST, my only issues are with the DVD case as it does its job, I just wish it was made out of slightly better materials, an aluminum case would be great, also I don't see why USB 3 couldn't connect an optical drive via a usb, but that would help, but overall I'm very satisfied.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great set but NO INSTRUCTIONS!

I am very satisfied with the set. High-quality screwdrivers and tools are also included. (I recommend having tweezers handy to remove small screws from the case). Everything works great with my early 2011 Macbook Pro. I moved my 256GB SATA2 SSD into the DVD drive bay (supports SATA2) and added a second SATA3 2TB hard drive where the old drive (port supports SATA3). Just a NEGATIVE. NO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. So I went to the OWC (Other Computers) site, found a great video on installing their…

Works Great: Computer and Accessories

To use this you will need to watch a video with instructions on how to remove the optical drive from a laptop; in my case it is Macbook Pro 17 inch 8.3 Late 2011. Once you remove the optical drive and replace it with a hard drive in the case, the optical drive fits easily in the case and works great. 20 CDs on my Macbook Pro with this external drive. I'm using Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon and when I drag the desktop CD icon to the trash it doesn't eject. You need to right click on the icon and…

  • Complete Set

Works great on my Late 2011 15 " Macbook Pro, just a few minor issues.

Works great on my Late 2011 15" Macbook Pro, easy to install. The only issues I have with the set are the quality of the tools. They belong to the cheese class and are very easy to remove. I have my own, but if you didn't have one you'd end up in a world of pain and have to hunt down a set of hardened metal tools. Also, the outer case of the drive is made of very cheap plastic and looks and feels cheap. It does the job and is cheap so it's not a problem, just an observation. When you slide your

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • Very expensive
