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

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.

Perfect heavy duty BR writer.

I need to rescind my previous 1-star review on this ASUS BW-16D1X-U 16x External Blu-ray BDXL Drive. I was hasty in filing my review before doing more extensive trouble shooting. I connected this drive to another computer and it works just fine. It turns out that the Dell PC, into which it was connected, is having some kind of issue. Im contacting Dell Tech Support today and Ill let them trouble shoot this problem. My apologies to ASUS and to everyone who did NOT purchase this drive based off of my incorrect assessment of the issue. I WOULD purchase this again.

Though the description clearly says it works with Mac 10.6 or higher, it does not. ASUS support was no help, and in fact, quite frustrating. When my issue was “elevated” to the next support tier, all I got was a phone call 4 days later telling me to look at my email to follow those directions and if that didn’t work, to fill out the attached form. Come on ASUS — work *with* me to fix the problem. BTW, the emailed solution didn’t work and there was no way I was going to fill out a form to wait yet again to try again with them. Complete waste of time.

I can see people are confused how disc burners works in 2020, so let me explain. There is a ton of illegal piracy out there, so in 2012 there was both a law and a patent out there that states that all disc burners must be required to use firmware that prevents users of just making endless copies of movies ect., so in 2020 on a PC you can only burn media files or data onto a disc, you cannot directly copy media directly from a disc, nor can you use drives to watch movies on your computer because of the legality of pirate of just screen capturing. It can be done, but its through illegal 3rd party means

I bought two of these turds (NOT FROM SYSTOR SYSTEMS) and neither work on any of my windows 10 machines. ASUS Support is non existent. Tricky Device Manager deletions dont work. Turn around and walk away from this. 2018 and i cant burn a DVD with this sham of a product.
