Customer Ratings & Reviews

It works okay but it constantly asks me to get the newest upgrades for a monthly payment. Yikes!

Used it a dozen times or so for DVD and Bluray. Speedy and quiet, software adequate for basic needs, lightweight. Its connecting cable is Y shaped; the idea is one arm plugs in to a usb port for data, the other, much shorter arm for power. As I read elsewhere, this will require 2 adjacent usb ports but only if the one port pluggged in for data does not provide enough power. My laptop has a total of 2 ports one on each side so it would not work with this device at all if that was requred. However, mine did; also, plugging the data port into a powered usb hub works too. Have not tried using a usb extension cable.

Purchased this for my son for Christmas. He is active duty in the military and it holds up to all the handling and plays like a gem. He says it's the type of compact tech he needs.

I mainly bought this to watch bluray/dvd movies on my laptop and with the included software it works perfectly, cant comment on the burning aspect of it yet, as i havent tried it.

This unit came highly recommended by a Best Buy employee. Very nice unit. Small, fast Nd easy to use. It does what it is supposed to do.

I just love this Blu-Ray player, plays my Blu-Ray collection wonderfully and it's nice & thin.

Needed to burn a play I recorded in 4K of my son's play. Not having a BluRay burner at all and the fact they seem to be getting harder and harder to find as built into machines decided to go with this. Worked flawlessly on the first try. Burned about 12 discs without a hiccup! This is the way to go for certain. I rarely use removable disc drives of of any format these days so it just makes sense to have one drive that I can plug into any machine MAC, Windows and laptop on the rare occasions I need it. Very happy with the purchase.

This is an excellent product. It's fast, efficient, and it performs flawlessly. And yes, I would recommend it to anyone who needs an external DVD drive.

This is an excellent Blu-ray player and burner. Very easy to use and you do not have to get any additional software to play Blu-ray dvds. I am very happy with my purchase.

As far as an external device it works well and I don't have many complaints. I wish it was a little more robust as far as staying in place. It tends to move about physically on the desktop since I don't have any practical way to secure it in place. May try some mounting tape later when I'm sure where I want to put it. It is thin and is great if you are concerned about space. After doing some investigating, even though it's USB2, a USB3 is not likely to work any faster, I believe due to the constraints of reading the disk.

Easy to install and use. Nice product. Compact size.

Great for blue-ray when streaming access is weak. Very quiet and simple to use with multi,- blue ray types of dvds.

Great buy. This was easy to connect and was a great way to add storage to your gaming system.

Drive works well. Plays DVDs like it should. Put a blu ray disc in, as the box said blu ray supported, and didn’t work. Turns out you need additional software just to play blu rays. Fortunately I was able to find a free app to do this, but I give it 4 stars cause no where does it say blu ray software separate unless it was in plain eye sight and I’m a dummy for not seeing it. I use the drive on my MAcBook air. Other than software, works very well. No lag or choppiness to video.

Does a good job. Was easy to install and still working fine after month of use.

My wife bought this as an outboard drive for her surface. I checked it out online and then examined it at home. It's pretty good, decent performance and price was good...

Drive works great. Solid performer. From watching BR movies to burning disks. Perfect add on accessory for any laptop without a built in drive. Would highly recommend.

Simple, easy and efficient. Works great, no issues whatsoever.

plug in and go. pretty straight forward. not bad for the price

I just connected it to my Windows 10 PC and it worked perfectly. I had some Blu-Ray disc's that had information I needed to retrieve and this worked without problem. I actually had an internal Blu-Ray disc reader/writer but it would have been more expensive and not as convenient to get an external case for the reader/writer to get it hooked up to my PC. This gets connected to TWO USB ports, to supply the needed power and to transfer data to my PC. No external power brick needed. Can't get easier than that.
