    • Decent UHD drive
Same as the LG UHD drive. Never had a problem with them. Harder to come by, so I've bought some extra.

    • Works Perfectly!
This drive works flawlessly. Installation was very easy. I am using it to rip my DVD collection for Plex Media only, so I can only attest to that capability. FYI: I am using it with the external enclosure NexStar DX2 by Vantec, which was also incredibly easy to assemble and install; they go well together. This drive is also almost silent. It is also very fast when loading a disc. The "rip rate" is about 7.4 MB/sec (5.6x) for regular discs and 20.0 MB/sec (4.6x) for Blu-Ray; the rate starts slower but climbs as it copies. This is faster than the terrible USB external drive I was using and it does not cause my computer to shut down randomly and it actually reads Blu-Ray discs, unlike the (Blu-Ray) USB drive which was defective in several ways. It is more expensive than the USB drive, but well worth it. ... show more

    • Excellent drive, that works in Windows 10, that can read 4K movies with a firmware rollback

I bought this drive June of 2019 for the sole purpose of ripping my purchased Blu-Ray & 4K movies for personal use on my Windows 10 rig. It's worked great in that regard. You need some software to rip the disc's but you can find that via Google (the one I use is free to try and can purchased for a small donation). Yes, this drive is not advertised to read 4K movies, but it can, with a tweak of the firmware. The problem is, with the pre-loaded firmware already installed, you cannot rip 4K movies right out of the box. Google "asus bw-16d1ht firmware 4K" and you will find the necessary instructions to downgrade to the older, 4K firmware. Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter if you attempt this. I did it on the first try. The included software does not allow you to read 4K movies, but you can purchase that separately on your own as well. The drive reads Blu-Ray's just fine as well as DVD's and CD's. I have also burned a few CD-R's, DVD-R's, and BD-R's with no issues. I haven't tried M-Discs yet but I plan on buying some and trying to burn them soon. I love this drive. For the price, you can't beat it. Especially if you are looking to rip your personal 4K collection. Edit: I just moved to a new rig and will install Windows 11 soon. My new case has no disc bay so I got an external drive case. I’ll post if the drive works under Windows 11. ... show more

    • Great drive. Fast.
This is a great drive. Very fast. I already have similar slim Blu-ray burners but I had heard that these bigger, full size drives may soon be going to way of the Dodo bird as more manufacturers are stopping making them so I wanted to pick one up to make sure I had one before that happened. I'm glad I did. It performs significantly faster than even the best slim one (Pioneer) that I have for everything (reading/writing data CDs/DVDs, music CDs, etc.). I wound up throwing it into an external USB 3 enclosure and couldn't be happier. ... show more

    • Great value and quality but methodology will help you alot.
I was lucky to buy it a year ago before the great drought of Blu-ray drives. It works fine burning and reading Blu rays. I don't watch movies with it. I do archival/backup work with it. DVDs with many bad sectors can make it to give up early and evaluate whats is left of the whole disk as bad instead of retrying like older DVD IDE/PATA drives. Also if the Blu-ray blank has a high write speed rating it minimum speed is set as 4x, I can't reduce it to 2x. I always burned at the lowest possible speed since that gives me a 99.5% of success with both Ritek and Verbatim Blu-rays. By doing this I only had a single coaster with a Verbatim disk under special circumstances on a ASUS USB SBW-06D2X unit. Special as the USB disconnected/reset randomly while burning. As a point of comparison. A 25GB Blu-ray Ritek disk burned at 4x had on this SATA drive read perfectly on it but ONE file gives error on the Asus SBW-06D2X usb unit. If you retry the USB unit eventually read it ok. A 50GB Ritek and 100GB Verbatim blank disk burned at 2x on this sata drive reads perfectly on both. CDs and DVDs from 20 years ago read perfectly as long no continued exposure to air/moisture and burned at 8x and 4x respectively. CDs burned at 16x or 48x did not survive. I started burning Blu-rays on 2019, I follow the same rules as with CD/DVDs: minimum speed burn and hermetic (no air circulation) storage and everything seems fine as far as I know. In my experience read speeds are not really much faster on this sata drive than the USB drive. I now use the par2 and dvdisaster parity/error correction utilities for an extra layer of safety when doing backups/archival work. I hope this review/commentary is useful for those using this and other optical drives. ... show more

    • One-stop CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Management Device
I needed this to download my disc music/movie collection into my computer and free up some storage space in my house. It works really well - went through every single CD/DVD/Blu-Ray disc in my (extensive) collection in a few hours (I expected 7-10 days, based on prior experiences with other computers). They’ve been sitting in my storage room for decades, waiting for the time to make the move to software. So glad I can claim those sq. ft. and get some old junk out of the house. Plus, I can burn, copy, reformat, watch/play, and record whatever I need into CD/DVD/Blu-ray in the future. Anything I needed from a disc - this device carried it out without a bit of stress or anxiety. No rattling, squeaking, screeching, or otherwise odd, annoying, or distracting noises to speak of. Just a fan when it’s running really fast, which I like so I know it’s running well. It’s plug-and-play - secure to the desktop tower, connect a SATA wire to the computer’s MB, connect to the power supply and it and runs (like any HDD). It has software, sure, but I go w/o it. Give it something to work on, and it has everything on screen within avg. 5-15sec. It’s good to get something that does it’s job and holds up like I expect it to for a decent price. ... show more

    • Reads & Writes On Everything Perfectly & Is Fast
I like it. The laser in my old dvd drive got weak and wasn't recording music on one brand of blank cdr discs but it would on another brand of blank cdr discs; And it wouldn't read some of my backup dvd's [It read some but not all]. This new drive reads and writes on everything perfectly and more quickly. At first I thought there was a problem with this drive and I almost sent it back; But when I opened the computer I noticed the SATA power-cable from the power-supply wasn't plugged into the back of the drive, only the SATA cable was; So the blue light would flash constantly but it would never open. I did plug both SATA cables into the back of the drive but I put black electric tape over the ends of the power supply cables that weren't connected to anything and when I pulled on some of those wires it must have unplugged the SATA power-cable from the back of the drive. Make sure both the power-cable from the power-supply and the SATA data cable that goes to the motherboard are plugged into the back of the drive before closing your computer case. I like this ASUS BW-16D1HT blu ray drive. ... show more

    • Awesome!
This honestly, is the best internal blu ray player money can buy. If you buy it there are a few things to keep in mind. It will not play 4K UHD blu rays out of the box, because the newer firmware does not support it (planned obsolescence). So in order to play them, you have to flash the bios to an earlier version (tutorials for this player exist everywhere on the internet) This is my go to player and I have never had an issue with it, exceptional value ... show more
