SilverStone is a company whose name is associated with high end cases and fans amongst a few other items such as the one I am taking a look at here today. Like many companies Silverstone has turned to distribution and rebranding as a way of generating revenue, and hence the new Silverstone 8X DVD +/- drive came into play. This drive is the slim line type of DVD drive that is used in laptop replacements and many SFF and micro computer systems that have emerged onto the PC scene in the last few years.
The drive is actually a Panasonic Model Number UJ875A, and is actually one of Panasonics nicest slim line replacements drives as well as being a hot seller for them. This is probably one of the reasons SilverStone went with this drive as one of their extended product line and it is made to industrial specs. Basically the SilverStone/Panasonic drive is a 12.7mm Height Slot Loading DVD Disc Writer that has some solid features to give it its appeal in this broad market. Let’s take a look at the specifications of this product and see if it’s something worth looking into owning.
