Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second of this same model. The first would no longer read blu rays. The point of this was, for me, to read blu rays and be able to burn dvd/cd. My computers around my house no longer have drives, and so the portability was a great feature for me, but the quality of this is just missing. I keep this in one location on my desk and it is plugged in to a powered USB hub so the cables see very little movement. I unplug the hub when not in use. If you are planning on traveling with this drive or moving it around a lot, I would not recommend this drive. As is, it seems to be the cheapest drive available for the features, but do not plan on this lasting a long time.

The very first thing I notice is that this drive has 2 USB 2.0 connectors on a splitter cable. On some systems it may require more power to operate. I use this on an Asus G750jw. It works fantastic. Super fast and not a sound. I have ripped and played movies with this drive. It is by far better than the stock drive that came with the laptop (which sounds like a buzz saw at full spin). I have even considered removing the stock drive from this laptop and just using this drive instead.

Awesome product. Fast shipping. Highly recommended

Works good! I’ve used it to watch a DVD on my new computer, easy to use.

Fantastic buy. I was struggling to find a Blu-ray player that would connect to my computer over USB that's fast and would allow me to backup my disks. A little more expensive than the other drives I tried. It kept working after a week when the cheap ones failed.

This was exactly what I was looking for. With most Laptops missing a disc drive this was a perfect addition to my system. All the older discs that I have will play using this. The specifications are very good and the device works well. It works well with my Windows Laptop and also my Apple Macbook Pro.

I just purchased a new Dell computer and it has lots of memory and speed but no disc drive. I still have the need for one. This one is plug and play and slim.

It does what I need it to. Though as a Mac user the fact you need extra software to play Blu Rays, which is the main reason I got it, is a bit of a hassle.

I bought this for 3 main purposes - dumping my PS3 game discs, ripping my Blu-ray/4k UHD movies, and ripping my music CDs. This is one of those rare devices that reads PS3 discs, and it does the job of dumping the game data for me really well. First objective a success then.. I was able to flash the device to read 4K UHD movies, which I was thrilled about. I'm able to build my own local media server now. Second objective a fantastic success... Music ripping, however, has some strange problems. There are tracks on some of my CDs that this device just won't read for some reason. They are picked up just fine by other $30 DVD readers, but the problem persists here. You would think this would do CDs easily, since it is reading 70GBs of data from each 4k movie, but I guess not. Most CDs work just fine, but for some reason, certain discs are problems for this drive. A pity, because if it didn't falter at the easiest task I threw at it, I would say this drive is perfect. I still love it though

Bought this for my new laptop. Worked great right out of the box. No set needed. Loading more of my CD recorded music as we speak.

This is a great little Blu-ray player. It comes with software to watch Blu-rays and DVDs. No issues at all. Good price, too!

This is great for laptops that do not have DVD players. It is so hard to find DVD players built into laptops now. This works very well. It plays movies as well as blu ray. It looks very well on my monitor. It was easy to load the software for it. I have not tried burning anything on it, so I can not talk about how that works for it.

Works great for watching blurays/dvds on my laptop and much cheaper than having to buy a new laptop(just to replace a broken cdr player on my current one). Only gave it 4 stars because it is a bit loud when using, but if your volume is up enough or you use headphones then its no problem.

It works great for what I got it for and I have used it a lot in the last month and it is working great.

I got this mainly because my new pc did not have a CD drive and I wanted something to install software. I was debating between this and another LG CD drive without the Blu-ray but with how many Blu-ray movies i have figured this would be the better route to go. I'm glad I went with this one. It is very quiet and thin so was able to sit underneath my new desktop.

I bought this drive to use for ripping blu rays to my collection. even though it takes 2 USB ports to power the drive, it works great. It is a little noisy compared to an internal desktop drive but it is speedy and works great.

Easy to use and set up. The only problem is that the provided software doesn't work for WIndows11. Once I purchased the updated version of the software, everything was fine.

I purchased this drive to re-burn a number of old CD-Rs, DVD-Rs and Blu-Ray RE discs I had created years ago. Over time they start to degrade. This drive replaced another brand that failed after a few years. The drive itself is working well with windows 11 and nero burning rom. I've been able to create regular CD-R, DVD+R and Blu-Ray single and dual layer discs. I also got a BD M-DISC to burn with it at 100GB. The only thing I don't like is that since it's USB 2, it requires 2 usb ports to power it. My previous drive only needed 1 port. This could be an issue for folks trying to use this with a newer laptop that is mostly USB-C. This is type A USB 2.0! I have not tried to use this to watch a movie so no idea if that works well. It's quite compact, and you'd want to make sure it's packed carefully if you are going to carry it with you. The top of the drive is not that hard and it can bow in with things on it. i wouldn't recommend putting anything on top of the unit.

Least expensive double layer Blu-ray writer reader. It is light and small without needing heavy & large power adapter. Perfect solution for laptops and desktops. It also has LED light for status. And a real push eject button is perfect hardware solution. It is good for authoring Blu-Ray Video content and transferring lots of files to Blu-Rays, DVDs, CDs. (Side comments, Bestbuy decided to stop selling commercial Blu-Rays Movies in stores. Bestbuy had a lot more customers in stores when they carry ALL commercial Blu-Rays movies.)

Great price for great performance. This item is difficult to find other than Amazon. Amazon did not have what I was looking for and "now." I'll be buying a few more of this item soon.
