    I was having problems with the one installed in my computer. It probably would have cost more to fix it than to buy this.

    I needed this External DVD Writer for my business. I am a Process Server and all my service is videoed on a chest cam. Sometimes I have to present the footage in court to prove the people were properly served.

    Best Blu-ray drive

    Great drive and great brand. I researched Blu-ray drives for weeks trying to figure out what drive came with playback software. This one DOES! We all know Windows 10 is garbage for movie playback and this solved my issues. I have an HTPC in two rooms with no Blu-ray player. This drive does the trick. Thumps up!

    Very quiet, not super fast to load but acceptible. Haven't used it to write yet. Power hookup for me just needed one port but included diagram shows it may need two so perhaps depends on what you're hooking it up to. I'm using a Lenovo 2-in-1 which I'd expect to not provide enough power so certainly a normal laptop would probably manage as well.

    Bought this to watch blu-rays on my Mac air. It came with software for regular DVDs but failed to mention that Blu-ray support was separate, however I was able to find a free app for the Mac. After that installed it played great. Perfect quality and no lag.
