Review: WOW -- If you have a need for speed look no futher! - I was a little skeptical about seeing much improvement, I have a brand new HP PC that is fast as greased lightening and so I pretty much expected everything in it to be fast but that was clearly not the case for the Blu-Ray R/W unit that is internal SATA bus attached and should be far faster than anything USB 3 attached but not so. Pro's: - Very Fast, hitting reads at 12x on DVD and 6.7x on BR, and everything else is even faster - True plug n' Play for Win7 (I have not tried Win10 or Mac) - Lay-Flat form factor - Motorized Tray, no fumbling with a pressure hub on a flimsy tray - Heavy with good rubber pads, does not slide around even on a slick surface - For Win7 all needed drivers are already part of the OS, no need to load their bloatware Con's: - Crippled software that is 6 major revisions behind and lots of nag screens to upgrade (Cyberlink's fault) - Count on buying the upgrade if you do not already own a BR authoring package (Cyberlink is a very good package, Roxio also if you prefer) The con's were not an issue for me, I already have the latest CyberLink PowerDirector & PowerDVD, Roxio Creator and other packages to deal with the discs. Here is a BR and DVD comparison to the build in BR unit in my PC (All tests were done on USB 3, USB 2 will be a lot slower) - Rip a 30GB HD home movie from Blu-Ray -- 16 Minutes on Buffalo / 34 Minutes on HP Player -- (30.2 M/s @6.7x Read) - Rip a 4GB HD home movie from DVD -- 4.5 Minutes on Buffalo / 22 Minutes on HP Player -- (16.1 M/s @ 12.2x) I have not found any tools this drive does not work well with including, MakeMKV, CyberLink PowerDirector, Replay Convert, VideoReDo+, VLC and of course WMC and WMP. It would be hard to be happier with the performance, the looks, size, and weight, for a desktop situation, this would not make a good portable drive it is took big and heavy compared to ones designed for portable use. Also keep in mind that for normal playback speed is not a consideration since everything plays at 1x. Reference Information: Tested on: HP Envy 850-065se, Intel i7 6 core CPU, 24GB RAM NVidia GTX 960 w/4GB RAM Samsung 1TB SSD boot drive Seagate 4TB SSHD (8GB SSD + 4TB HD) Win7 - Ultimate
Review: A steady disk reader/writer. Excellent quality - The CD/BLUE RAY reader is well made and works perfectly. The seller has been very kind and solved quickly all my desires. I strongly suggest him. Shipping in Italy has been perfect and within the planned times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW -- If you have a need for speed look no futher!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A steady disk reader/writer. Excellent quality
*by L***. on July 31, 2026*

The CD/BLUE RAY reader is well made and works perfectly. The seller has been very kind and solved quickly all my desires. I strongly suggest him. Shipping in Italy has been perfect and within the planned times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid combination for Mac, Windows or Linux
*by M***Y on July 24, 2013*

This drive hits these right notes: * rest the disc in a tray and close - no snapping the disc onto/prying it off of a hub * Quiet. Almost no vibration * Works fine with Linux and Mac (on Mac I use the free MakeMKV beta to turn blu-rays into mkvs for desktop & iPad watching) * USB 3 makes the buffer pre-fills faster when burning. Read speed never saturates a USB 2 bus so backward compatibility is fine * Actual read speeds north of 30 megabytes/sec on blu-ray and the 12x on DVD is real * BDXL: up to 128GB capacity But most importantly: * Works fine with Netflix blu-ray rentals without peeling off the hub label Most slim PC blu-ray drives don't have enough clearance and have read problems on many discs or outright fail. I didn't check out the included Windows software. The suite looks impressive, but look to reviewers who normally use Windows for more. The only cons so far: * At $160, price is currently double what I'd like * DC power plug seems pretty flimsy: be very careful about the back of the unit not pressing up against anything and flexing the plug * Large unit, will chew up a bit of desk space (check the specs)
