Win11 doesn't recognize blu ray drive?


I only posted the quote from the review for informational purposes. The adapter may work with an optical drive but so far there is no proof of it. It is better to return the item while that is possible.

BTW, here is a very similar item on Newegg that only mentions working with SSDs and HHDs. It makes one wonder about the other adapters that say otherwise.

SATA to USB Adapter - Hannord USB 3.0 to 2.5" 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Transfer Cable for SSD/HDD Support UASP, with 12V 2A Power Adapter

Mine fit without any issues. I think it's an LG WH16NS40. (I have a couple of 5.25" drives. Didn't check to see which one went into the enclosure.)
Mine was almost 1/4" longer then OWM case Pioneer BDR-209D BD-RW

It's really not nice to act like a boomer and rub it under somebody's nose. Also just sent it back so round 2 is coming!

It's good that you were able to return it. Better luck with whatever you try next. If you can afford the OWC enclosure, that'd be a safe choice, as it is purpose made.
