Highlights
Quality
High quality cable/adapter, worked perfectly for my needs: i lost the one that came with my portable dvd burner
Great quality, almost as if they wanted us to have the good things in life.
You might have to deal with bios issues, but that has nothing to do with the cord.
Competitiveness
The only place i could find this cable for my bluray burner and it worked exactly perfectly, came quickly and was wonderfully priced.
5 drives just don't like to spin up on the power provided by a single standard usb2 port.

However i quickly realized that the pi could not by default provide enough power for the dvd player to reliably spin up and sometimes not turn on at all if i was unlucky

The drive would not work on my apple macbook or mac mini with just the one supplied mini usb cable

This is due to the drive needing more current for the laser burner than is supplied by one usb port
