Note
The compatibility of ATAPI DVD+/-RRW and CDRW
drives in the External Drive Enclosure UF depends on several factors:
the firmware in the ATAPI drive, the software, OS and the interface electronics.
We have tested a number of drives in this enclosure using Nero Express
software and Cyberlink PowerDVD. The table below summarizes the list of
drives that have been tested to work with this enclosure. It is not possible
for us to test all the different models of ATAPI devices out in the market.
We will constantly update this list whenever new device has been tested.
We cannot guarantee that all ATAPI devices will work in this enclosure.
If you are installing a device that is not in the list below, make sure
you are using the latest version of software and firmware to ensure better
compatibility. We apologize that we cannot offer technical help on devices
that are not in our list.
