CUT&PASTED from the linked web site.

Pros:
* Works with SATA-IDE adapter (Rosewill RC-203 SATA to IDE Mini Vertical Bridge). I didn’t have an open SATA slot so I used this adapter and it works!
* Plays all my media including CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray. I use ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre software and it plays flawlessly.
* Cheap Blu-Ray solution for the PC at a buck thirty. Great for non-console gamers (i.e. PS3 alternative)

Cons:
* Doesn’t work with SATA-IDE adapter in IDE-USB 2.0 external enclosure. This is not the drives fault. I’m assuming the external enclosure must be SATA and not IDE to work.
* Does not write *any* media. Read only (no surprise). Not a negative really since it brings down the price and I already have a DVD burner. If you can only have one optical drive (i.e. HTPC, mini-PC, etc) then this may not be for you.

Other Thoughts:
* Haven’t tested it with a SATA external enclosure but I’m sure it works.
