Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Installing it was as simple as just directly swapping out the drives. Works on my original wii with no affect on my installed homebrew and accepts both wii and gamecube games. Easy to install, just go to youtube for tutorials.

This drive comes with a small screw driver. Comes with the tri-wedge screwdriver for the special screws.

Cons

It's functional, except it doesn't read dual layered discs (no super smash bro) drive has many scuff marks on the metal and looks used. Worthless piece of junk.
