This does play Blu-Ray discs

Pros: It will play DVDs and Blu-Rays. Get VLC or another software. Make sure you also research how to add the dll and other file to get VLC to play Blu-Ray. Also, make sure the settings is for region A if you are in the U.S.A.
Overall Review: It plays DVDs and Blu-Ray discs with no problem. Make sure you have a software program that will play Blu-Ray discs.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a Blu-Ray player, do not buy this one. It does not read Blu-Rays.
Excellent laptop

Pros: This is a very nice laptop for everyday use. The lighted keyboard is nice. It is middle of the road laptop that will meets the average user's needs. It has plenty of memory (16GB). The storage is 512 GB which should be enough for a student or home use.
Cons: Nothing at this time.
Overall Review: This is a very nice laptop for everyday use. The lighted keyboard is nice. It would be very nice for a student or home use. Also, I ordered it one day, and it arrived the next day. I live in Maryland, and it was shipped from Delaware. Shipping was free.
Not a good product

Pros: I was able to retrieve the needed data using a software retrieval package.
Cons: This drive fails. Turned on the computer and system did not find boot partition. I pulled the drive and put it in a docking station. The system did not show any partitions on the SSD. I ran a software recovery tool to recover the partitions. It found the partitions, but when I tried to restore the partition table, the program showed the drive as bad. I then ran data recovery on the entire drive and was able to retrieve the documents, photos, and some other items. The drive is totally unusable and cannot be reformatted. If I didn't have the recovery software, I could not have recovered valuable data. There was no warning on impending failure. I no longer have proof of purchase, so I cannot get it replaced. I do not recommend this drive.
Overall Review: I would not recommend. However, if you do use this drive, make sure that you back it up regularly.
Good price and works great

Pros: Works great. No issues
Cons: none
Overall Review: It is a great price for this storage device.
Works great to clone drives

Pros: Easy to use. I use Clonezilla (free software) to clone my hard drives to SSDs.
Cons: None at this time.
Overall Review: Can be used to connect to either a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. I recommend using a 3.0 port connection as the speed is much faster.
Excellent laptop
Nice laptop for every day use. It is easy to set up and use. I prefer Dell, but this is a very nice HP also.
This pci card works as stated.
This card works with my SSD device.
Excellent memory modules
They are excellent memory modules, but just were not compatible with the older HP Pavilion 27-n110 All-in-One computer. The memory needed to be even more specific than expected. Thank you.
