Quick to install, no extra drivers, DVD burn speeds are good, and Blu Ray ripping speeds are fantastic.
After a week of use I haven't noticed much sound from this drive at all when reading or ripping blu rays. There's a slight whir from the DVD side, however it's still significantly quieter than my last few DVD-RW drives.
No issues so far.
As mentioned, this didn't come with any playback software. I'm okay with this as I preferred to use free libraries for playback and just use AnyDVD HD to decrypt the disks. If you want to be able to watch movies right away, spend the extra $50 and get the retail version of this drive, it'll save you quite a bit of money.
Worked just fine until it didn't.
Died after 15 months of very light use (maybe watched two dozen movies with it).
Obviously not capable of containing the Giant Robot and Monster smashing power of Pacific Rim.
