Needed an external Blu-Ray player for my desktop computer and took a chance on this. The drive is easy to open. The disc snaps in via the center. There is an eject button on this particular drive, too. It does come with PowerDVD12 software and plays Blu-Ray discs. It's also a quiet little device. There are two USB cables attached, but if you have a 3.0 USB port, one will suffice. Burning is also a breeze. Glad I bought this!

This little Blu Ray Player works great. I have not tried watching DVDs or Blu Rays on it yet but I have used it to load software. It is easy to use. The only drawback is the cable to connect to ur PC is very short. I am using it with my DESKTOP and I think it is meant for laptops. Oh P.S. I have a windows 11 HP PC.

I bought this item because I have an older laptop without blu-ray player. I read the reviews and decided on this one. With the usb plugs on opposite sides of my laptop I bought an inexpensive 10 port that also plugs into electric outlet and gives that extra boost. The Buffalo blu-ray player is plugged into 2 of the 10 ports and works great. It was very easy to add to my laptop and I'm a novice I'm still learning things about using a laptop.

This thing is great! Super small, easy to use, burns CDs perfectly. Highly recommended.

I bought this because new laptops don't come with DVD/CD drives. Installation was quick and easy. Works as expected. One time after the PC went to sleep when I woke it up it did not see the drive until I unplugged it and plugged it back into the USB port. Otherwise I have no complaints.
