Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 Optical Drive

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

Great little DVD/CD Drive, I use it with a NUC 11Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro, works great and the attached cable you can't beat it and can't lose it!

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

Great surface and no optical brighbteners

Easily fits my old laptop, which is thicker that most because it's old enough to have an optical drive. On the side it fits the charging cable and my mouse. Now my laptop is protected along with my other equipment. I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

Dropped this in the Optical Bay of a 2009 MacBookPro (along with a new battery) to breath a little more life in to a slow old laptop. This was a dream for the old machine!! Dropped it in the Optical Bay since that was no longer needed. Left the original 500GB in and use it as a second/storage drive. System now runs off this SSD and compared to what it used to be, absolutely screams in speed compared to the old hard drive. Was as quick fast install and works like a charm, definitely gave this 2009 laptop another 2-3 years of life as a basic internet/email/documents machine.

My Asus rog strix scar edition gaming laptop didn't come with a optical drive so I bought this as a replacement and it works awesome super fast and ready to go out of the box I would definitely recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as an additional drive since my laptop had 2 M.2 nvme slots. It has been exceeding my expectations for space, performance, etc. A major plus was its ease of installation and configuration in Windows 10.

SSD's make a laptop with a hard drive appear much faster. Some desktops and laptops are fitted with an M.2 SSD that is too small to be practical. Since SSD prices have come down so much over the years, upgrades are economical. When upgrading a laptop, you clone the existing drive onto the new M.2 SSD inserted in this enclosure and swap the two. Or you add the new M.2 SSD into a previously unoccupied slot. This enclosure makes it possible. And in the rare case the drive cloning did not succeed, nothing is lost. An essential part of your computer toolkit.

Installed this as the master drive in a new entry level MSI gaming laptop that came with a 256MB M.2 SSD . I'm 60 years old and by no means a gamer. My games are flight simulators. And, being an old geek I prefer to see a hard drive in a box so to speak. The original M.2 drive is still in the laptop as a filing cabinet for my less used junk but I am very happy with the performance of this Crucial drive!
