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

Unit does what it should. Unit is very big compared to others, and requires external power. This doesnt make it easily portable. The unit does however run well even on a very long USB extension lead. Overall Im fairly happy with the overall performance of the unit.

This caused the windows explorer window to constantly open and close. The computer (OS10, 64bit) was able to recognize the drive and even read from a disk. However, I couldnt get it to burn BD disks, never tried DVDs. Had to return it. Looks nice, makes high tech coasters.

Even though the description says it is both Windows and MacOS compatible, the software included (on DVD) only supports Windows. Make sure you have a MacOS application that will support the drive.

Nice device despite its HUGE size. I like it.

Worked straight out of the box like a champ. It have been chewing through discs non-stop for days now with zero error. I connected the device to multiple USB 3.0 hubs to see if I can duplicate any of the difficulties others have been reporting with Windows 10. Intel, Asus, and Fresco controllers all worked. No issues with Windows 10 and the previously listed drivers. Reading the negative feedback, I think the issue lies with the end user. First, it will not just play a blu-ray. Do some research before purchasing a product. Second, to everyone complaining that device would not power on when plugged in. It wouldnt power up by just plugging it in. There is a power switch on the back that some what blends into the design of the unit. In the defense of those claiming all of their units were faulty, the power switch is stiff and difficult to operate. A quick glance at the user manual shows how to properly power up the device.

Was discouraged about buying due to bad reviews but mine worked fine. Just know the software wont let you play blu-ray. Itll just let you burn/edit the disc info.

This is cheap garbage. It works fine for now, but it will obviously not last long. This promotes the very pirating they are supposedly fighting. Idiot music industry.

Inadequate documentation and technical support. Did not work out of the box. Returned. Perhaps I could have figured it out after spending many more hours - but even finding basic support information was enormously time-consuming and frustrating.

This is called a Turbo drive. The only turbo about this drive is the noise it makes. I sounds as if it is a jet plane but in reality is trying to work which it doesnt accomplish. It barely recognizes a 50 Gig disk and has trouble handling them. Dont even think about a 100 Gig. that it is advertised to use. It constantly hangs up and has to be unplugged from power to reset. I am about to throw it in the trash. PS It has been over a year now since I purchased this drive so I cant return it. Sadly I dont use it too often and I let time slip away. But to the trash it goes.

The official website doesnt support this product and it just flat out does not read any discs at all. Piece of junk skip it and buy something that actually does work.
