Article incompatible avec ASUS BW-16D1HT - Graveur Blu-Ray Interne Compatible M-Disc

Très déçu car ce boitier est incompatible avec le graveur ASUS BW-16D1HT - Graveur Blu-Ray Interne Compatible M-Disc.
Pour faire entrer ce graveur dans ce boitier, je fus obliger de démonter et enlever la partie métalique centrale et remettre la carcasse du boitier qu'il faut éviter de déplacer pour que le graveur fonctionne.
Il conviendrait que Amazon vérifie le bien fondé des informations sur ce produit afin que l'on ne perde pas de temps à tenter de l'intaller.

Presque parfait

Bon boitier, très sobre mais à l'aspect solide, il y a effectivement un adaptateur ide->sata de fourni, la lecture d'un bluray s'est fait sans problème de debit (usb3). Seuls bémols à la clé, le prix pas forcément donné, et le ventilateur bruyant mais qu'heureusement on peut débrancher facilement. Bref un presque sans faute.

Le cablage intérieur s'est en partie dessoude.
seul une partie du circuit imprimé est alimenté, le ventilateur ne tourne plus, et le lecteur ne se lance pas.
il faut titiller longuement la prise electrique pour trouver l'angle parfait qui connecte le tout.
très déçu par l'appareil, surtout au prix de vente

J'ai installé à l'intérieur de ce boitier externe de 5,25" un Lecteur/Graveur Pioneer CD/DVD/Blu-ray, c'est vraiment impeccable, cela fonctionne parfaitement et en plus en USB 3.0 (compatible USB 2.0). Ceux ou celles qui veulent un bon boitier externe en USB 3.0, n'hésitez pas, celui-là est vraiment parfait niveau Qualité/Performance/Prix.

Noisy fan, no rubber feet and a rubbish power supply

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 8 novembre 2017

I bought this as I had a spare DVD drive lying around and I thought it would be better to reuse it than throw more money at another burner. I basically had a choice of this or the IcyBox one, and I picked this because it looked sturdier and less garish.

It is pretty sturdy, but it comes with no rubber feet, so it just slides around on my desktop and any vibrations are transferred to the desk, making it very loud. The fan also makes a lot of noise too, so it's really not all that great. And then, on only the fourth time of using it, the power supply started smoking. So it looks like I'm going to have to spend money on a new drive after all.

It's complete rubbish! One to be avoided.

**EDIT** I tried using this again, just out of curiosity, and got no smoke at all from the PSU. So I decided to try a little test. The power lead from the wall socket to the PSU has a figure 8 plug on the end, which would suggest it is reversible, so I flipped it over and plugged it in the other way up. Lo and behold, I got smoke coming from the LED! It appears the PSU circuitry isn't especially tolerant to the power being applied in the "wrong" direction. I could put a mark on the plug to identify which way it should be plugged in, but I don't think I'd be willing to trust a PSU which has this issue. I don't fancy the idea of burning my house whilst burning a disc...

Everything you need in an external USB 3.0 enclosure for 5.25" BD/DVD/CD drives

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 23 mai 2021

Whilst the choice of external USB 3.0 enclosures for 5.25" BD/DVD/CD drives is limited, that doesn't matter since the Lindy 43138 provides everything you need. Furthermore, should you decide in the future you no longer need an external BD/DVD/CD drive, the Lindy includes a mount and fan enabling it to double up as an external HDD enclosure. Unlike other enclosures, there is sufficient space to install drives with a depth of up to approximately 8.5", which should cover just about all models.

Installation of your drive is as follows:

1) Unplug any attached cables and remove the two small screws at the rear of the unit.
2) Remove the rear cover and let it drop out of the way (no need to remove the power switch cables).
3) Slide the main case cover backward and away from the unit.
4) Remove the front panel insert by pushing out gently from the back.
5) Remove the HDD caddy by unscrewing the two screws on each side.
6) Slide your BD/DVD/CD drive in from the front far enough to connect the SATA 7 way and SATA power cables.
7) Line up your drive at the front and then secure in position using two screws at each side (provided).
8) Slide the main cover back on from the rear and reattach the rear cover.
9) Attach your mains supply (UK plug included with models shipped by Amazon UK) and USB cable and switch on.

Fan - The fan is connected by default and, unless you are using this enclosure for a HDD, I recommend those of you intolerant of any noise disconnect this during installation of your BD/DVD/CD drive. To do this, simply remove the two screws securing the PCB then gently manoeuvre the board so you can slide the fan connector out. Replace the PCB, making sure you reposition the plastic shielding.

The finished appearance of the unit once assembled is very stylish and it will easily position at the rear of your desk under one side of a monitor.

Negatives

There are no negatives I can think of, however for those of you seeking perfection, you could attach some stick on rubber feet, though the unit doesn't really require them. Others have mentioned the brightness of the blue power LED, which is of course laughable when compered to the funfair appearance of modern RGB PCs. The LED is quite bright but at least serves as a reminder to turn the unit off when not required. Alternatively, dabbing a black perm marker over the LED will significantly reduce brightness levels.

All in, I am very pleased with this enclosure and for those of you that already own a good quality BD/DVD/CD drive , it is well worth utilising this enclosure to enable continued enjoyment of the 16x speeds 5.25" drives offer.

100% recommended.

Apparently I have to add a headline...

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 9 juin 2018

This is described as ‘aluminium construction’ and the casework is a pair of thin aluminium extrusions but with plastic front and rear mouldings ... ultimately it does look nice and discrete once the drive is installed but there are a couple of gripes (hey, this is the Internet right? Of course someone is going to be complaining!)...

Firstly the fan is godawful noisy ... it’s currently the other side of the room (about 4m away) and I can clearly hear the fan over the TV. That will be unplugged shortly as it won’t be needed to cool down an optical drive. Secondly the blue ‘power’ LED on the front challenges the lighthouse over on Portland Bill for brightness ... seriously it lights the room enough that you can still see around in the dark with no other lights on. Thirdly - and I believe that this one could actually be a bit of a sticky one legally - the unit I got was supplied with a European two pin mains lead...

I was pleasantly surprised to see that it comes with an IDE to SATA adapter (even though I can’t think of any IDE devices that I might still wish to use) but that does go some way to relieving the sting of its cost.

It’s expensive but - unless you want an external optical enclosure that looks like it should be in some brothel boudoir - there’s not a lot of alternatives and it does actually look pretty good once it’s sat on a desk or shelf.

Just be aware that it doesn’t come with any feet so you may wish to pick up a set of stick on feet from somewhere - just don’t try Maplin as unfortunately they have been a victim of the modern curse and have gone titsup.com ... farewell my old friend - your catalogue used to keep me occupied for weeks as a kid (some 35+ years ago!)... :-)

Edited to add...

After a week of using this enclosure it seems obvious that there is a fault with the USB to SATA bridge board as the optical drive in it disconnects regularly whilst reading and (annoyingly) writing leaving numerous 'coasters' in its wake so a return has been organised and we'll see if the replacement is any more stable.

Edited to add...

Amazon did a great job of getting a replacement unit out to me - it arrived earlier today (Sunday) and I popped a drive in it this evening but unfortunately the replacement unit has exactly the same issue with disconnecting whilst transferring data ... such a bummer as it looks *SOOOOOOOOO* much better than the rather gaudy IcyBox enclosure but I'm really sorry to say that drives that have been working perfectly reliably in a PC and in the IcyBox enclosure just fall over like a drunkard on a fishing boat in a force 7 gale ... This is the first bit of Lindy kit I've had that hasn't "just worked" - I'm actually still trying to work out what *I'M* doing wrong. I hate to say it but I have to revise my rating down... :-(

Edited to add...

...and it seems because I asked them to replace the faulty original enclosure then it wasn't possible to return the replacement enclosure when that proved to be the same as the first - so now I have a pretty (but expensive) cupboard ornament! *sigh*

Well built and sturdy external drive enclosure!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 4 février 2021

Having previously ordered an external case from a different manufacturer and found the enclosure wasn't deep enough to accommodate a Blu-ray drive, I was slightly apprehensive that I would have the same issue with this case. With a distinct lack of purchase options, I decided to take the plunge and ordered this case by Lindy. Upon receipt and to my delight, I found that this was not an issue whatsoever with this case. It was very easy to install the optical drive and with all cables supplied, I was up and running in next to no time. A good product in my opinion. However, there were a couple of points which, if addressed, would have made this enclosure even better. I found the top cover to be very fiddly to slot back into place when reassembling the enclosure and the figure of 8 power cable supplied was the round two pin US variety, not the UK version. Fortunately, I had a suitable spare cable handy!

Poor specification listing

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 12 mars 2020

My first impression was that the drive box was very solidly built. Then I found it had a Euro plug rather than the UK one specified on the advert. I had to go and buy a figure-8 cable with a UK plug on it.

The standard size CD/DVD drive I wanted to install kept being stopped by a large metal brace across the bottom tray as I slid it in. This was retained by screws so I figured that the CD-DVD drive would be stiff enough and removed the brace. Probably to allow mounting of a 5.5" HD, but nothing in the very brief instructions about it.

Apart from that it seems fine although looking at the electronics and the parts it does seem very expensive for what you get.

Two stars Lindy, I expected better for this price.
