Easy install with DVD instruction/install disk. Worked instantly with DVD and Blu-ray disks as well as media already installed on four of my hard drives. Good Product! Recommended!

As of: 03/2024, the drive is fine. Once in a while it won't read a disc, and once the computer is restarted it'll work. Although that could potentially be the operating system, but on a Mac, that kinda seems unlikely. To update firmware, you need to be on a Windows machine. That's so 2000's. If you're a Mac user, find a friend with a windows computer. The drive door seems to rattle at times making you think it's the drive mechanism, but it's just its thin plastic door. And the gears for the door opening and closing gets a little noisy after about two months. I might try and put electronic grease on it later. For digitizing my DVD/CD library to a NAS... AWESOME! With MakeMKV these two are a awesome combination. The speed is great too. It blows those thin, cheap, push to close three times, drives we are all used to now. This one is a full automated tray (open & close) like they were when CD-rom drives first came out. The power button on the back is terrible; they tried to make it carved and angular like the design of the case, but that makes it hard to grasp and slide it on and off. Also, there's a HUGE blue LED (1.5") on the top that says "Ice On Fire." At night... IN YOUR FACE! They could have saved money by not having all that fancy designing elements. Looks very 80's inspired. All that said, for what I'm putting it through (constant ripping) the drive is worth it. For a once in a while drive... get something cheaper.

Removing 1 star only for software. Software is useless, outdated, and unsupported. And does not include any app to play Blu Ray, or DVD. No software to play/read/rip Blu Ray. Just some useless outdated backup apps. For the price I would expect Power DVD or something. Luckily there are workarounds and FREE solutions. You will need AACS file to Play/Read/Rip Blu rays. Due to no software included. Works fine with USB connected via 10G USB Port. Check with your PC/Motherboard manual for the speed of certain USB ports. I have already ripped a couple Blu Ray files from 28GB MKV encoded to 2GB MP4 and the quality is amazing. My old blu ray drive takes near 2 hours, this one takes 17 minutes to rip Standard Blu Ray. Can't wait to try UHD4k Blu rays. Works great with VLC, KODI, MakeMKV. I will update this review when I open it and flash the firmware.

Portable, good fit for my environment, well made, great price and value, software was easy to install and burner works very well with decent read/write speeds.

I got the Blu-Ray drive because I needed a drive that could burn Blu-Ray discs. (Obvious, right?) I already have a DVD burner that has worked fine, but I wanted to use discs that have more storage capacity. So this drive was delivered and it worked fine for the first week or so that I used it. I used it to burn Blu-Ray discs as well as DVD9s. I liked the fact that it burned a DVD9 faster than the other DVD burner I had. I didn't need to use it for a few weeks after that, so it just sat there unused. Then I needed to use it again to back up some larger files, but I was only needed to use a DVD9 disc. So I inserted the DVD9 and after about 4 minutes the drive popped it out with an error message about a write error. I tried another and got the same result. These DVD9 discs were the same ones I have used for a while because I purchased a stack of them and haven't used them up yet. They worked fine before on this burner, so why not now? I tried a disc in the other DVD burner and it burned the files just fine the first time. I had noticed that the Asus drive will seemingly randomly disconnect and reconnect every once in a while. It seemed strange, but I didn't see that it made any difference, so I ignored that it did this. Perhaps now, I'm thinking, this might be part of the problem. Who knows -- I certainly don't know enough about these devices to determine that. All I know is that it no longer works. I logged on to Amazon and completed the form to request a return. When I submitted the form I got a message saying that I would be contacted by the seller within 48 hours. Well, that was over a week ago and no contact. I've purchased Asus products before. They're good products. Like any manufacturer, however, sometimes things don't go as well as you'd like. so I don't have a problem with the fact that the drive doesn't work. I just have a problem that the seller, Premier Audio Video, doesn't respond to requests for a return. Nothing. Not an email asking for more information -- just nothing. So buyer beware -- If you get a product that works fine, you will likely have no issues. But if you have a problem with the product and want to return to Premier Audio Video, I hope you have better luck than I do trying to communicate with them.

Blue ray player works right out of the box on Linux but provides device software disc for windows devices. Device is on the newest flashed software works fine reading but cannot write as is. but can be reflashed to the original software (could void warranty) with a windows pc not on Linux to access discs beyond regular reading for special features and beyond.
