ASUS BW-16D1X-U 16x External Blu-ray BDXL Drive with BD Suite Disc USB 3.0 Cable Power Adapter and Cord

This is a nice unit but it does not come with software to play discs. Had I known that before hand I would not have purchased it. Demerits for ASUS.

The item was first-rate and exquisite. Immensely quick dispatch. Neat packaging.

Plug And Play What Else Can I Say. So far everything works great.

After a few weeks of use I thought this unit was dead, but it turned out to be the USB hub that was malfunctioning. This unit itself is performing ok so far otherwise. Ill check back in about 6 months of continuous use.

I bought this device in late May 2022. It arrived in June 2022. Now in Oct 2022 it no longer reads discs. Several times when using it the device would make loud grinding or winding noises. The warranty expired almost immediately and now I am left with this broken device. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The disk writer works well. Ive made over 30 blu-ray, DVD discs with no problems.

The drive is very fast and so far, is dependable. There is a power switch on the back that is very difficult to operate. Ive read reviews that the eject button (which is kind of hard to find) works intermittently. Im using the drive on a Mac and use software controlled eject. So for, no problems there either. Works well straight out of the box. It is not (in my opinion) portable, as its a full size drive and requires a power source.

The good: burns OQ BD DL disks! Does not overheat doing it Not so good: burns 6x BD DL at 4x, reads at 4x!

This is a beast of a product. My previous CD/DVD/Blu-ray player/burner was a slimline model and was so inconsistent that I had no faith that it would work. I plugged this unit in and ran it for hours with no hiccups. The only down side is finding room on my desk for it. But, it is completely worth the size. Love it.

I put in a lot of effort to write a review that would hopefully help others looking for a quality DVD player. I left this app to lookup a term I wanted to use. When I came back my review was gone. It has happened before. I am done with reviews.
