Works as advertised. Silent and easy to setup.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! The software to play BluRay and DVD is easy to use. Unfortunately for DVD you still have the region lock, so choose wisely since you can only change 5 times. I used the two usb ports on my laptop. Very silent too.

Cd Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product easy to install software and works great.
I would recommend this to a friend great for playing blu-rays on your laptop!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought this because I couldn't find my old one. They're also useful to burn data to a Blu Ray disc as those hold much more data than DVD's. I think it can also work with a TV though I have no need for that. HINT: don't lose the manual. I think the manual contains the license key to make this guy compatible with more than one device.

Capable & Upgradeable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Flashed new firmware to it so that it can read UHD Blu-Rays and it works great. Used it so far to rip my old PS3 discs for emulation and digitize some movies.

Very good dvd driver

I would recommend this to a friend Never disconnect the drive from the cord
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, if you want this type of product, this is about the only game in town. This happens to be my second one of this exact same model. The piece of metal that firmly holds the cord into the drive came off on my first one after less than two years of light usage. Once that piece of metal comes off, you're out of luck. If you purchase this product, I would highly advise plugging the cord in and leaving it in permanently. Other than this one problem, the drive functions well.

Works great and priced right
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the feature set and ease of use this burner/player is awesome. Supports every format you could want including M-disc and even 3D (long as your PC/tv/monitor supports 3D. It works well with my surface pro 3 and Mac mini 2014 and MacBook Pro 2011. Just need to download SW for Mac but use google to find out how/where
I would recommend this to a friend Good External Drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There were a few reasons why I purchased this item. I am very pleased with the results thus far. *I purchased this because the internal CD drive on my computer was not reading everything properly. *I purchased this also as an alternative way to enjoy Bluray movies. *I purchased this because the price was decent at the time. *I purchased it becauses the reviews were pretty good. The only downside on this is the tray where the disc goes in. It can be an issue at times and may make changes a little longer to do too. It is workable though once getting used to.

DVD fine but Blueray needs special attention Win10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fine external DVD Player when coupled with the right Video player using Windows 10. Microsoft did not bring Media Player over with this version so a third party app like VLC or Cyberlink Media Center is needed. They also have an app that will test the capability of your system/device to playback Blu-ray and 4K dvds. No problem with earlier Window versions.

Very cool device.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because lacking in my new computer. I love to watch movies in private settings with headphones so I can have better understanding and more fun. It is just plug and play device. It com with the programming disk, but it will take you to more money gimmicks. Power draw from your computer USB connection. Don't need extra power line. Very quiet and smooth operation so far.

Great for on the go
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use my computer a lot outside of the office for work and need the ability to play videos, often in blue ray format. This has been the perfect on-the-go solution. Haven't had it long enough to be sure about its durability, but the construction seems sound enough to handle repeated connecting and disconnecting of the cables.
