Blu-ray drives are becoming increasingly popular as more and more people are looking for ways to store their data. But are they worth the extra cost? The main advantage of Blu-ray drives is that they offer much higher storage capacities than traditional DVD drives. A single Blu-ray disc can hold up to 25GB of data, which is ideal for storing high-definition movies and large files. Blu-ray drives also offer a much better viewing experience than DVD drives. The picture quality is noticeably sharper and the sound is much clearer. So, if you're

This was a fantastic product. With the most recent upgrade, Microsoft rendered the CD/DVD burner on my PC useless, but they have never been able to identify the root cause.I gave up on attempting to fix it and bought this instead. It is quick, simple to install (the CD is included), and simple to use.I am no longer a customer of MicroSoft, but these people have gained one as a result of me! Without a doubt, I would purchase another or suggest it.By the way, it burns stuff quickly, and I don't think my stove is as noisy as some have claimed.It does tend to move on its own when burning due to vibration, so I did had to place a rubberized jar opener under it.

This drive is well-liked since people know it supports UHD. To get them suitable for UHD Blu-rays once more, I had to reburn the firmware on the pair I bought for this purpose. If you bought a UHD-friendly drive recently, you will need to downgrade the firmware in order for it to work with UHD discs because the manufacturers of all these drives have begun releasing firmware that spins the disc down when it recognizes UHD media. Before you downgrade the firmware, exercise caution and make sure you understand what you're doing. You cannot simply reflash firmware that you find online onto the drive since you must "transfer" the calibration date with the firmware. The firmware must therefore be removed from the disk, combined with "clean" and older firmware, and then overwritten. I'm omitting some specifics, but you get the idea, and I want to make sure you understand what you are getting into before you buy this drive.

Since I've always been a Windows user, I bought a used Mac tower that's about ten years old. When I got it, the DVD drawer wouldn't open, so I decided to buy an external one. After looking through item after item, I came across the External USB 2.0 DVD Drive, DVD /-RW CD /-RW Writer Burner Player with Classic Silvery. At first, I thought it was too good to be true that this USB external drive has all these features for this price,

In order to keep this short, I'll just mention that there are two reasons to purchase this Blu Ray burner: the ability to read Blu Ray disks, which you can get in a standard Blu Ray player, and, more enticingly in my opinion, the ability to write data to Blu Ray disks.Let's go over each of its two primary selling points to be thorough. Playing Blu Ray disks requires the ability to read them. Although I don't own any, a RedBox is fortunately not too far from where I live. You can see the transition from 360p-480p to 720p-1080p for yourself on Youtube, and if you're anything like me, you just wait for high-budget films to come out on RedBox for less than half the price of a movie ticket (even when renting the Blu Ray), so purchasing a Blu Ray player almost seems like a no-brainer.This external Blu-ray drive functions as expected when playing Blu-ray discs, although I must emphasize that you do need a program to run the disks. Your computer will acknowledge that a Blu-ray disc has been inserted, but it won't know what to do with it. There is commercial software available, but if you explore around, you can find free alternatives, such as several VLC plugins.With the caveat that additional software is required, this external drive is already reasonably priced compared to regular Blu-ray players that plug into the TV, but what makes it stand out from the competition is the ability to purchase blank Blu-ray discs and effectively use them as long-term data storage. As long as you don't store your CDs in a damp, dark attic and take the least possible care of them, they can store data for a very long time and endure a very long time.I spent around $10 on a stack of 10 25GB Blu-ray disks from this place on Amazon. I was able to create another backup of my family's images and videos thanks to the Blu-ray drive's ability to write and format all of them. Overall, buying a Blu-ray player and 250GB of storage for $100 is a nice price, but if you have more videos than I do, obtaining an extra 250GB of storage for only $10 is a steal. For those of us who watch or rent Blu-rays and are searching for additional redundancy over the long run and of the cloud storage of our data, purchasing this external Blu-ray drive is a terrific investment.

Useful, portable, and simple to operate. Just need to be aware that in order to utilize the Mac for blu-ray, you must download a blu-ray software player. But free versions are available.It worked beautifully once I purchased and installed Mac Blu-Ray Player (software) and connected this disk to my laptop (MacBook Pro Retina 2012, OS X Yosemite). But I will remark that the driving is quite light and delicate. I primarily use mine to access files from data disks and to watch movies on the go. I would suggest exercising extreme caution when moving or transferring the item. I'm not interested in learning what it can and cannot withstand. The beginning begins now, and I see it going on for years!

We archive our family's photos and videos on Blu-ray discs. I purchased this for my laptop because my 2011 Macbook Pro doesn't have a BR drive and it's grown uncomfortable to use the drive on my iMac for extended periods of time. It was quite simple to use this as a Blu-ray reader; after plugging it in, the volumes automatically mounted on the desktop.Although there are a few third-party options in the Mac App store, Apple does not officially support the Blu-ray movie format in its operating system or add-on applications. After trying two, I settled on the Leawo Blu-Ray Player. The initial read for a movie can take up to a few minutes, but the first two movies I watched played without any issues. Although it's free, registering (which is pricey) will enable creating MKV copies of movies so they can be viewed on a desktop. One benefit of this is that the player's read speed is just 2X, which makes fast forwarding difficult and uneven, and rewinding nearly impossible. Better reaction, instant start, and improved fast forward and reverse are all benefits of watching from the MKV copy.The drive is small and lightweight. The drive cable is permanently attached and is extremely short. It is conveniently stored and transported on the case's underside. It runs coolly, it seems. Although it is a USB 3.0 disk, using a 2.0 connector still functions, albeit more slowly. Although the manufacturer advises connecting it directly to the computer, a powered USB hub was sufficient for it to function. A USB-C adapter plug is included in the box.On the other hand, the aluminum outer cover does not fit completely, although this is not a functional issue and it is difficult to notice. The drive makes some noise, but not a lot. Again, the poor read speed makes rewinding and fast forwarding Blu-ray movies a little challenging.I haven't yet tried using Toast Titanium or the OS X system program to burn any drives. Once I have, I'll update this review with my thoughts. I'm pleased with this disk thus far.

One of the better options for an external Blu-ray/DVD writer now on the market is the Pioneer BDR-XD05B drive, which I bought. The drive's flip-open design is preferable than having a slide-out drawer or a disc insert slot, in my opinion. This makes cleaning the drive relatively simple and should make removing discs in the event of a malfunction easier (though I have not had any problems). The drive is really quick and steady, and it doesn't experience buffering problems like some of the other drives I've used. supports every disc standard for CDs, DVDs, and Bluray, including two layer DVD and quad layer BDXL (128 GB per disc). The one I bought came in a retail package with instructions, cords, and software like PowerDVD and a variety of Cyberlink utilities for burning discs. On Windows 10, there was no need for a driver or installation; the plug-in immediately functioned. According to the online specifications for this drive, in addition to all format kinds, it also supports long-term storage Mdisc DVD and Bluray media. The drive operates nearly silently, which is quieter than other drives, and it has just about every feature a user might want in an external Blu-ray drive.One word of caution: if you want to use the greater data speeds of this drive, make sure that the computer you use it with has two nearby USB ports, at least one of which must be a USB 3.0 port:The USB cable uses two USB ports on your computer (one for power and one for data) (both USB bigger rectangle type B on the cable), and because of the cable length, both ports must be close to each other on your computer. This is my one and only criticism about this otherwise excellent drive. This caused a little issue on both my old and new computers. On my laptop, I have a USB 3.0 port (type B) on each side and a USB 3.1 port (type C), which is the newest and most versatile USB port, on just one side. This means that the only two USB ports I actually had on my laptop—the ones I needed for this drive—were not of the same type and were instead the newest USB 3.1 type C port and the USB 3.0 type B port. Unfortunately, the included cable is far too short to allow for the possibility of plugging into ports on both sides of the laptop. To solve this problem, I bought a USB hub device that split my USB type C port and added two USB 3.0 type B ports, an HDMI video port, USB, and a USB 3.1 type C port on the connected hub. After that, I successfully connected the double-port USB 3.0 cable that came with this Blu-ray disc to both the USB 3.0 port on my hub and the USB 3.0 port on my laptop that is adjacent to the USB 3.1 port. It turns out that it also functions properly if I connect the drive's provided cable to the hub using both of its ports. As a lesson, make sure the computer you wish to use with this drive has two USB ports that are close to one another. An additional 5V power line, not provided in the box, is supported by the drive itself. I presume that if a wall power adaptor was purchased to fit the external drive's unused power connector, this could be used in place of the double port USB cord for power and allow connections to a single port only.

Congratulations to MthsTec for supporting their product!This external Blu-ray drive did not perform as anticipated right out of the box. I could identify the issue because my DVDs and Blu-ray discs produced inconsistent results. In order to determine if a new drive will solve the issue, MthsTec volunteered to send me one. Not much better was achieved by the new drive. However, I discovered that the drive was configured to DVD Region 2, and for my use, I had to adjust it to DVD Region 1. The drive appears on my system as "Matshita BD-MLT UJ240ES USB Device." Since I accomplished that, I have no more trouble reading the discs.I also took note of the Windows 10 driver for this disk (cdrom.sys) on my PC, which is as follows:Microsoft Driver Provider Date: 6/21/2006the 10.0.18362.1 updateThis driver looks to be pretty outdated, so if you find something better, please let me know.The directions for this disk mention connecting a micro USB cable for power, however it appears to function quite well without one. The decision is yours, I suppose, even though MthsTec advises attaching the power cable while in use.I am satisfied with the goods and the customer experience overall. Supporting their product is important to MthsTec, and this is significant.1. I discovered that the drive was set to DVD Region 2 and that, for my purposes, I needed to alter it to DVD Region 1 (the drive appears on my PC as "Matshita BD-MLT UJ240ES USB Device"). Since I accomplished that, I now encounter significantly less disc reading issues. However, some DVDs' playback is "choppy," and the video quality is poor. I'm still investigating this.2. This drive's (cdrom.sys) Windows 10 driver on my system is as follows:Provider: Microsoft Driver Version: 10.0.18362.1 Date: 6/21/2006Is this accurate? The driver appears to be extremely senior.3. Not directly linked to the issues I'm experiencing, but do I need to connect the micro USB cord for power? Without it, the drive appears to function perfectly.

I won't boast about this too much just yet because I just got it today. I've always trusted Asus items since they do make wonderful things, and I've had great luck with what they produce, so I'm sure I'll use it a lot. To my dismay, I did discover that it appears smaller in photos than it actually is. Its size caught me off guard, yet it's not so large that I can't fit it on my desk. It's an Asus product, so if I have to give up desk space later, I will. Since most computer cases are phasing out optical drive bays, which I intend to upgrade to as soon as possible, I chose an external drive for its versatility. Since many attractive designs lack optical drive bays, external drives are the only option. Anyone considering purchasing one of these should be aware that while the eject button initially appears to be problematic, if you understand how it functions, it really isn't a major deal. When used properly, it performs flawlessly. The button on the extreme right side should be pushed straight in from the front and in the button's "center." It won't react if you try to push it in from the side. Keep in mind to press the button straight inward from the "front center." I brought up that point because of some reviews I've read, but you shouldn't let that bother you because this is a good device and the eject button is fine. I think Asus is the best and is worth the extra money. Despite the fact that I didn't give it five stars, the four stars I did offer it indicate that the product is a decent value because I hardly ever do.
You can use an external Blu-ray drive on a TV, but you will need to have a Blu-ray player that is compatible with the TV. Most Blu-ray players will come with an HDMI cable, but you may need to purchase one separately. Once you have the Blu-ray player and the HDMI cable, you will need to connect the Blu-ray player to the TV.
Yes, computers have Blu-ray drives. You can use a Blu-ray drive to watch movies, store data, and create backups.
No, you don't need a Blu-ray drive to rip Blu-ray movies. You can use a DVD drive or even a CD drive.
To burn a Blu-ray movie, you'll need a Blu-ray burner and movie authoring software. Once you have both of these, you can burn your Blu-ray movie using a standard DVD burning process.
Installing a Blu-ray drive on your computer is a simple process. First, you'll need to purchase a Blu-ray drive. They are available from many electronics stores or online. Once you have the drive, you'll need to install it in your computer. This is typically a straightforward process that involves opening up your computer case and connecting the drive to an available SATA port. Once the drive is installed, you'll need to install Blu-ray playback software. Again, this is typically a simple process. Many Blu-ray drives come with software that you can install. If not
