Good Drive!
- Pros: Plays blu-ray movies and burns discs! Exactly what it should do.
- Cons: OEM Cyberlink software is junk. Better off finding some other player. Or pay the $100 for the full version -- too much, in my book.
- Other Thoughts: First reviewer IS actually missing something! Either his monitor or his video card (or both) is NOT HDCP-compliant; clearly! Do not take his review into account when deciding on this drive. A note on graphics chips: just because the specs say a chip _can_ do HDCP, doesn't mean that the board maker actually implements it. Make sure that your video card and monitor can do it, and all will be well.
Works Great
- Pros: Fast, Quiet, Multi Purpose drive. works instantly when i plug it in.
- Cons: Blue Ray Software is junk. requires you to buy it to play movies. Recomend finding other player, which is hard to do.
- Other Thoughts: I figure its the player i was using but it took a long time and a lot of work to be able to play blue ray movies on a HDTV.

garbage
- Pros: none
- Cons: oem software will not install. asus and cyberlink offer no support and blame the other. paid for a blu ray drive that won't play blu ray. buy anything else.
Blu-Ray Support not there...
- Pros: DVD part of the drive works great. No read or burn problems so far.
- Cons: Out of 8 Blu-Ray discs, have had problems reading 4 of them about 1/2 way through the disc. These are new disks with no scratches or dirt. Just stops with a read error.
- Other Thoughts: Even though Asus indicates that have a process for supplying firmware updates, I have not found a way. Have not gotten any help from Asus on firmware updates to help solve the problem. Just search the net and do your own research.
PS
- Pros: -
- Cons: -
- Other Thoughts: Sorry for making another review, but I'd like to point out that my M3A32 has had absolutely no problem working with this drive, despite another review's statement that the two are not supported together.
