    A fantastic storage for backup and everyday use. The price of storage is dropping fast and this one delivers the desired results.

    It works as advertised, no issues. For power-users: I was able to flash the drive successfully with LibreDrive and it is "UHD friendly."

    Transfered my existing music collection from CD format to new computer's library. Then put this collection on my MP3. This was my solution to the computer not having a built-in external drive.

    needed a blu-ray drive for laptop and this did it, it handled everything I through at it and more. Only down side it is only USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0.

    I only would have preferred this would have been a 3.0 instead of 2.0 but other than that you should like it.

    Bought this to replace a 5 yr old version of the same reader. It works great and seems to be the best value for a Blu-ray reader available.

    Since pretty much all laptops are missing optical drives this is a great work around. If you want to play DVD's youll need to get player software through.

    Works well with a laptop. I was able to connect it to a Surface Pro 3, but I needed an external power source. The single USB on a Surface Pro is not enough to power this unit.

    I bought this because I was going out of town for awhile and wanted to play blurays on my laptop.Best but recommend this model but it's not very good.I mean your able to set it up it does play the movies.But the device is lowed to the point it's hard to ignore it.Plus every time I wanted to play it after shutting down the computer so had to eject the disc and put it back in for the laptop to read the blu ray.Not as easy use as I would like.

    Not the fastest drive in the world. But it holds a whole lot more than a DVD. I purchased this to store Drive Images for work. Works good.
