Review: Great build, Great product, Great fit. - I ordered this item as I wanted to breath life into my 2008 Macbook Pro, Stage one was to fit a 250GB SSD, Stage two was to replace my DVD with a 1TB HDD for storage. Stage 3 is to install 8GB Ram. This is the stage two review. I received my adapter two days early, (nod to a very fast delivery) so I quickly fitted it using a Youtube video to install it. well its don't have any instructions so I will assume that its for it professionals. the screwdriver and little plastic device which I don't know the name of works a treat and are made of good quality materials, I only wish that the screw bits was magnetic as that would be a great advantage when removing and replacing the screws.. As for the product, well it fitted in fine and worked first time. The DVD was fitted into the drive is working a treat, Im afraid that the youtube video did not have this part on the movie but its easy to fit. I will download the driver for recording DVDs later today but as a player it worked right out of the box. So far so good, I can highly recommend this product to other Apple users.

Review: Necessary item if you want to replace your Super Drive - Excellent product. - Great if you are wanting to remove super drive from your mac and replace with another drive. I have just used it to replace mine with a 500gb SSD, and this makes it such an easy process. The bonus of this coming with a conversion kit that makes the superdrive an external drive is inspired. Please note, if you are wanting to do this, you do have to change some stuff on the mac itself, but that is easy to do, using instructions that are available on the web. I don't feel for me this means I have lost anything, as I wasn't using the super drive anyway and now I still can if I need to. I found this a good value product and the replacement process was pain free and simple. I would recommend, if you are worried about doing this, as this does not come with a single instruction, you look on the internet and you tube for guidance on how to do this. Also a top tip, as this involves you having to take out a load of tiny teenie weenie screws, a magnetic screwdriver is a good idea, and a small cup or even an egg cup to hold said screws, as they are that tiny, they are easy to loose. I didn't need to use the tools that came with it, as already had the necessary ones, but these have been added to my toolkit as I can see they can come in useful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good products but external Superdrive needs this software patch to work
*by P***2 on 23 December 2015*

These are good products. The SSD adapter caddie worked perfectly for me. Note: you should screw in the side screws to hold the SSD in place otherwise one of them sticks out to prevent you getting the caddie into place properly. The DVD external case is well made. It is plastic but looks like the aluminium on the iMac. I don't intend to use the Superdrive much but I think is worth keeping working just in case! To get your Superdrive to be recognised by OSX (which was expecting it to be internal) you have to do this for OSX El Capitan - the instructions I found at: https://hardwrk.com/en/Tips-Tricks/ You do the following, which is straightforward: 1. Start your system with Command + R keys down after the chime 2. Open Terminal from the top menu utilities 3. Type csrutil disable 4. Restart your Mac 5. Open Terminal 6. Type: name=/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback; sudo perl -i.saved -pe "s,\000Internal\000,\000External\000,sg" "$name”; 7. Start your system with Command + R keys down after the chime. 8. Open Terminal 9. Type: csrutil enable 10. Restart your Mac
