And so far there is no "Conflicts with using MakeMKV Software" using this cheap but good casing.

wish i could post the side by side picture of this external casing and the verbatim casing, but i must respect the moderators here in makemkv as there is only a limited amount of bandwidth to be used in the forum. pictures do take up alot of space regarding bandwidth.
but trust me, this casing is nice and very usable.

sadly no tips at all on how to open up this casing, other than forcibly destroying the casing. i actually found in "Reddit" that one person posted pictures of this casing and saying that there are 2 small holes at each side of the casing to pry it open. i tried that, but no success at all. so i just forcibly broke open the casing. sorry buddy.

Thanks for the link. I'll try my luck and see how far I want to go before smashing this on the floor in frustration!

Just be careful. I'm sure there some snaps and it it possible to disassemle without breaking th enclosure.

Mission accomplished. I was able to disassemble the case without too much damage.
Removed the LG drive, and dropped in a Pioneer drive.
Thanks for making this so difficult Pioneer.

you managed to pry open the casing without any visible damage.

anyway, congratulation's.
