I got this to place in a htpc (replacing a full height DVD drive with a slim drive). Unfortunately it wasn't as simple a job as it should have been.
The metal tray/plastic front bezel are sturdy and of good quality. However, the finish/fit of the two parts were just ok. I found myself filing down the long edges of the tray to deburr it and using a craft knife to trim down a small amount of excess plastic (from moulding).
Fitting a 12.5mm slim DVD drive showed that the unit is slighty twisted, resulting in the drive not sitting flush/flat with the top of the unit. This would have caused some issues fitting it in the case opening. Changing this for a 9.5mm slim DVD drive, the mounting holes for right side (from front) didn't line up. I used a file to elongate the mounting holes and then the drive sat flush with the top of the tray.
The bottom mounting seemed fine with the 12.5mm slim drive, but I didn't try it with the 9.5mm drive. I noticed that when you removed the bottom slotted cover, there is no way of fixing it in the empty space for the top slot! I also noticed that the 9.5mm drive bezel isn't tall enough and leaves a few mm gap, which I packed out with a strip of black packing foam.
So only 3 stars - it should be under £8 for the meh quality.
