welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone SST which stands for
Silverstone Tech right du s o d02 this
is an optical disc drive made by LG so
you know if you're worried that you know it's like some kind of off-brand opticle
drive or something not at all the reason Silverstone has this skew in their
Arsenal is because they have a lot of really cool small form factor cases that
require things like Slimline Optical drives or slot loading Optical drives to
make them more elegant and to make them look better and all that kind of stuff
but Silverstone is not actually an optical drive manufacturer so what they
do is they Source a bunch of these from LG and then they offer them to their
customers so that they can complete their Silverstone build experience so
here's a quick manual and it says drive by toiba
Samsung well those aren't all the same thing
oh I guess it must it used to be tsha Samsung and now it's LG because this
sticker is over top of that one oh interesting okay well there you go
apparently they Source them from sort of wherever has a good Slimline slot
loading Optical and then don't worry too much about it they just put a sticker on
the box that's not that's that's fine so it
comes with mounting screws there you go
comes with a SATA cable oh is this one ah it comes with a
very special SATA cable so this is one
one of those um smaller notebook form factor SATA
combo connectors and then that breaks out to a SATA cable that plugs into your
motherboard and a power connector that plugs into your power supply because
these Slimline Optical drives are intended for things like external
enclosures and notebooks and not really intended for desktops unless you're
talking very very small form factor desktops like the kind that we are about
to do a build with this guy with so that's why we needed it so you basically
go I mean there's a couple mounting holes on the sides there's mounting
holes on the other sides there's that special connector there's the slot load
and the eject button here which is great
and that's oh look it is an LG right no okay yeah that's that's what we
concluded so it's an LG multi G3 31n
however I suspect that they that they change a fair bit and I really am
running out of things to say thank you for checking out my next unboxing and
