Best player I bought!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I have a old MacBook with a USB port and it was the perfect player to buy because it can not only play DVDs but BluRays as well (with the included software) and I use this to rip movies with MakeMKV to save on my computer whenever I take my computer on the go so this is the best drive that you can buy!

This thing is a jet engine.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the loudest thing in your workspace. That includes if you happen to work next to a train track, or in a machine shop. I have never experienced a louder "modern" electronic. It does work though, but I feel bad.. Like it is trying it's best and I shouldn't push it too far. Would not reccomend.

Great accessory for a laptop or pc without Blu-ray
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.compact, easy to use and reads and writes cd media flawlessly. My only complaint is the packaging doesn't indicate it requires two usb ports for Blu-ray functionality. It will play ordinary DVD's with one usb connection. It does come with a cable that sports two to one USB connector.

Best Blu-ray Drive!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven’t had any problem or complaints. Plug and play and is super user friendly. Writing and loading speeds are pretty fast even though this is USB 2.0. Super slim too!

Handy little drive and works great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's actually a handy little disc drive. Small, lightweight and worked great the few times I've used it so far. One thing that bothered me when I made the purchase was that the cable has two plugs they want you to put in USB ports. I bought a hub because my new laptop only has one standard USB port. I found though that if I use a standard cable with one USB plug it works fine plugged into a powered hub. I haven't tried it without the hub since with only one port available I need a hub anyway.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well, easily portable, the software bundled leaves some room for improvement and it's a bit on the pricey side. All in all, I'd buy again.

Great for external disc drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as my laptop had know disc drive. Quality to price ratio is excellent does everything thing with ease and bluray is superb to the point we use it regularly just for entertainment. Only issue is it requires for some odd software reason the use of the touchpad when viewing movies for input rather than my cordless mouse I normally use. Actually that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Be aware it does use two usb ports!

Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently built a new PC and I didn't want to deal with buying a case with an optical drive bay. So I replaced my internal drive with this. It gets the job done, and it stores away easily because it's small.

Great On The Go Backup System
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new dual layer dvd burner and figured why not get a blu-ray burner. Also powered over USB would be necessary to be mobile. I do a lot of photo/video work and need to back up data frequently (I back up to hard drives as well as burn discs). Looking forward to backing up to blu-ray soon and since the option to have a drive with that feature was available, I figured why not.

terrific product right out of the box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.so far, product lives up to the product labeling and no compatibility issues win WIN 10. Since BD-XXL DVDs are expensive, I haven't been able to verify that claim. Regardless, burning to and playback (reading) data DVDs only has not been a problem. No attempts to write / create any video DVDs. I have only had this product for about 6-weeks now, with occasional use to back-up hard drive data and personal files. I have not installed the companion DVD / Blu-Ray player software either (or any other companion software), so no evaluation / review for those products at this time.
