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

Need to improve the on/off switch. Takes too much effort to turn on and off.

Perfect for my needs. I use it to play blu ray movies/tv shows and organize my music collection. Sturdy and easy to use. A little big to be truly portable, but that does not matter for my needs, used on my desktop PC.

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 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.

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.

works fine for dvd & cd you will have to download a player if your computer doesnt have one
