Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.)

Well worth the money! I love being able to watch Blu-ray movies on my laptop! I definitely recommend it!

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 exactly for my use case of backing up my existing bluray collection. With the right firmware it can also handle the 4k ones which is a plus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This device works quite well. I was wanting to purchase an external device which would play all types of media, such as Blu-ray, DVD, and CDs. This fit the bill, and was at a fair price.

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.

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.

Been wanting one of these little players for a long time, and so glad we bought it. I missed watching dvds on my laptop, quietly at night. Pretty pleased with this unit, except that it does periodically slow down for buffering. It's not a huge deal, but the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Otherwise very pleased.

Works well out of the box, and can be flashed for 4K content. I did switch to a Pioneer native 4K external drive but for the price this one is great!

Great purchase, perfect size. Excellent quality playing dvds and audio cds. Exactly what I was looking for.

Was looking for something that can play and burn bluray's. This is it! I really like this one. Speeds are good! Highly recommend.

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

Works great. Nice to not have to plug in separately. A little clunky to set up if you are only looking for a small portable blu ray.

I need a quick and affordable way to write dual layer Blu-ray discs. I like this brand, the portability, and it's capability for the price. I'd compared having the internal drive on my iMac repaired, and the fee was astronomical and would result in less functionality than this internal option. I also liked that I can move this drive between multiple PCs and laptops.

This unit is very slick, clean and it works every time. The other one I had gotten years ago just didn't work right from the beginning. Hit or miss when watching movies. It loads programs on my new computer very well. No problems.

Worked well with our computer, would recommend to anyone looking.
