Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product! Fast setup. Works great! Would buy again.

I bought this because it was small and easy to use on airplane flights. This DVD player is easy to use and works with the software that was downloaded from the web. Would buy it again.

Good backup drive. Can rip 4K Blu when flashed with appropriate FW but requires some additional steps compared to some drives.

It Plays my Blu-ray & Dvd's Very Well and Happy i Bought It, Definitely Recommend It, Soo Compact and easy to store in a Laptop Bag with other accessories when traveling

I bought this product because my new Macbook no longer has an internal disc drive. So the purpose was to be able to play/download CDs, play DVDs, and the added bonus of playing Blu-rays on my computer, which I was never able to do before. On the front of the box, there is this ambiguous message that reads: "Blu-ray title plays on Mac OS; Software not included." So I asked one of the sales associates in the Best Buy store, who seemed to know a thing or two about this product, if that meant I needed to buy extra software, and he assured me that it was highly unlikely. But sure enough, this device will only play CDs and DVDs. Extra software is needed to play Blu-rays. When I read reviews on the available Blu-ray software programs, none of them sound reliable: Macgo, Aiseesoft, etc. Lots of bad reviews with very few good ones. Strange that Apple would not offer a decent Blu-ray software program with all of their many perks. And this is the only Blu-ray writer offered in my local store.

I bought this to import all of the 400 CDs that I have on my laptop, and let me say I was impressed with the speed! It's very small and compact, and not noisy at all! I pretty much ran it nonstop for two evenings importing those CDs.

Bought this drive because newer gaming laptops don't include internal optical disk drives. Have no comment on this drive's ability to burn any sort of optical disk as its been a few years since I burned any files to optical disk media. That being said this drive plays back Blu ray movie disks just fine as long as the player software properly supports AACS (disk encryption keys). Be aware this drive requires a USB port that outputs at least 1.8 amps of power. Otherwise the secondary USB connector must be plugged into a second USB port on the host computer to supply sufficient power to run this drive correctly. This drive can be somewhat pricey when not on promotion sale.

Better than the Apple USB SuperDrive. Plus is Blu-Ray, not just DVD. Just works! Tested on MS, Apple, and Linux.

Having a portable drive is a must. It’s great when you have a PC without a Blu Ray drive. It’s nice that you have a compact device to use disks.

It works as expected. Small size for a blu-ray player / writer that is convenient for mobile usage with laptops. It is a little noisy when it starts running but it is hard to notice regular reading sound.

I am pleased with this DVD player. It is compatible with my new PC.

Very good Blu Ray Player. Never understood what the difference between normal DVD and Blu Ray was. Had to do a few steps to get it to actually work but the youtube videos will be major help to watching Blu Ray Disks and setting it up if you watch your videos on a laptop/computer. Definitely better than spending hundreds of extra dollars elsewhere for a product that will pretty much do the same thing.

This DVD burner is fast, burns all types of DVDs, also plays BluRays and integrated beautifully with my computer. I highly recommend it. Also, it is powered by a dual USB cable, so no need to plug in to an outlet separately.

Does everything i need it to do with very easy set up.

I reviewed several USB Blu-ray readers before settling on this one. I do not really use it much for burning, but, its been rock solid on reading discs. It's fast, super quiet, well designed and super slim. Anyone looking for a fast dependable reader/writer, this one is for you. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Very slim device which is nice. Connects with one cable that needs 2 usb but no external power needed. I have watched a Blueray movie and it was flawless. Ripped multiple CD's and it seems quick enough. No complaints here.

This external DVD writer is compact and easy to take with you when you need it, works well with plug 'n play efficiency, and reads and writes at admirable speeds. I'm glad to have it as a tool in my toolbox.

Needed to buy one for my computer cuz the case didn't support a CD drive so this worked out for me now I can watch Blu-ray on my computer

A solid external device with good read and write performance that handles BluRay and DVDs without any major issues and comes with decent software to support video playback. I purchased it to allow me to play BluRay discs through a laptop vs. use it as a disc burner. This device requires two USB ports to run (one for power, one for data) and luckily my laptop has two available ports side-by-side to support it, something that wasn't immediately clear from the external packaging description. It was the only available external drive at the physical store nearby, making it a bit of an 'all or nothing' type choice that worked out fortunately in the end.

I need this DVD player because my older one didn't play Blu-ray disks. This item is great except for the price tag and the trial software. I will give the player a 5 star rating but 1 for price and software.
