VantecCB-ST00U3 NexStar USB 3.0 to SATA 6Gbps Optical/Storage Adapter, Black

Having previously tried various Chinese devices through Amazon that were unable to have my Windows 11 Pro (x64) operating system recognise my old Pioneer BDR-209EBK internal optical drive and therefore had to be returned, I finally found this device after a good deal of forum searching and it works perfectly. I have not tried it with formerly internal HDDs yet but I am wholly confident that it will work. I would therefore highly recommend this device to all who have old but working optical drives & hard disk drives from old computer builds but no bay or provision in their current computer rigs for the installation of an optical drive or not enough space for all the old HDDs they might have. I am absolutely delighted.

bought this for my old blue ray player i had in my pc as i could not find a cheap sata external in closure for it arrived quiet quick but beware it does not came with uk plug only the American version 2 pin i had a spare power source here i could use and it works flawlesslyif you do buy this either get adaptor in advance so you can use it out the box and remember it only works with sata hd/optical drives

No problems. Reading All.

Makes it hard to use as need a UK/US travel adapter (which can get hot)

Easy to use and performance is very good
