Great portable external B-ray drive
The external drive is very compact, stylish and easy to use. Setting it up was a bit difficult since the first software downloaded was compatible with Windows 7 from this manufacturer and so an update was necessary. It had a couple of hiccups and additional procedures to perform before it worked on my Zenbook.

I like that it's slim and doesn't take up much room, wish it came with software.
