Nothing to dislike about this product. Take it out of the box, attach it to your desktop (for me, MacMini) via the USB cable provided, plug it in with the power cord that comes with it, and voila … it works! I also highly recommend Adorama. I received this product around 36 hours after ordering it.

Have not had much time to spare on the new External R/W Drive. I used it load my wireless printer and to load a Microsoft Word, 2007 program which I had one license left. It was simple to do with this fast drive.

Since the demise of any the internal CD/DVD/Player/Burner in the Mac, I've been on the search to find a solid (fast) alternative...I've found it and couldn't be happier!! OWC never fails to deliver ????

The All-New Desktop Optical
Configured For Your Workflow
Now with an updated design, Mercury Pro is the premier drive to bring optical media back to your workflow. With a sleek, durable aluminum chassis and high-speed USB 3.0 interface, Mercury Pro delivers reliable performance that matches its good looks. It's cooler, quieter and better than ever.
Sleek, durable aluminum chassis
Quiet, fanless operation
High-speed USB 3.0 interface
Archive quality M-DISC compatibility
Universal USB 3.0 Connectivity
The new Mercury Pro is plug-and-play compatible with both Mac and PC workflows, making it your versatile premium optical drive. With high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity, playback of optical media, data transfer and archive all happen as fast as possible, with bandwidth to spare.
The Perfect Long-Term Archive Solution
M-DISC sets the standard for long-term safe data storage and the new Mercury Pro supports this revolutionary format, making it the ideal solution for reliable long-term backup and archiving. M-DISC is an archival-quality storage solution that protects your data from degradation and loss for 1,000 years or more. M-DISCs use a proprietary layer made from inorganic, rock-like material for permanent data storage, protected from data rot and extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Because the M-DISC ready Mercury Pro engraves the data into this layer, write once and read forever.
Reliability And Support You Can Count On
Like all OWC drives, the Mercury Pro is built to the highest standards of reliability and performance. Because OWC's goal is always 100% reliability, it's rigorously quality tested and backed by their 1 year warranty and 24/7 Customer Support.
