I regularly format shift my content from physical Blurays that I purchase to DRM-Free digital to my own personal Plex server. I have an old chonky, but reliable 4K Bluray drive in a Sata enclosure that I keep in a drawer. It does a perfectly fine job, it's just a pain to find room on my desk and connect. Enter this slim little BluRay drive; I can keep it hooked up and it doesn't take up much room. I used clear 3M VHB to adhere it to the underside of my glass monitor stand, so it takes up no room at all! When you first get it, you'll have to upgrade the firmware, as out-of-the-box, all functions are not supported (including 4k Bluray reading). Once that's done, you'll need to use the two-plugged USB-to-MicroUSB, connected with both plugs, as the power draw exceeds USB 2.0.. Disappointing that in 2023, devices are still sold with MicroUSB, but I digress. Most disks read just fine with the software I use, and it's quiet and adequately fast (about 1 hour to extract a full BluRay movie, DVDs take like 15 minutes). All in all, it meets my needs and doesn't take up a lot of space doing it... now to tackle this pile of disks.

This LG burner/player is a workhorse and a great addition to my wife's desktop. With the decline of internal burners, my wife wanted an external solution to help her digitize our CD collection, capture pictures from old DVDs and burn new picture DVDs. Setup was very easy and only requires two USB ports for the cable provided. Once the software provided was loaded using the player, ripping and burning was a breeze. If you are searching for a great external burner/player at a great price, then I certainly recommend this LG and it is currently on sale for $79.99.

This is a good external blue ray drive. It works great with my desktop and laptop PC. One thing to beware of is the data/power cable two USB 2.o type A connectors. They are close together and you will need the USB ports on your computer to be close. This will not be a problem for most desktop computers, but laptops it may be a concern. I attached a picture of the cable. The drive played my blue ray DVD without a problem. I haven't tried burning a Blu ray DVD. The included software will do the basic stuff, you want something better for more advanced things.
