Yes of course.  COSMOS was my first BluRay purchase ever and it looks gorgeous playing off this drive.

Question 4

Will it fit in my Dell xps 8700 in the expantion slot under the dvd player?

That is an extremely specific question that would be hard to answer unless someone else owned exactly the same computer. I built all my own computers, and therefore I say just go for the win!

Question 5

Will this drive play the new 4K UHD Blurays?

No as this drive was not designed for that type of resolution. BDXL will let you write 128 GB to a disk once but you will need a different player to play 4k disks.

Question 6

Does  this drive have light scribe?

Lightscribe is no longer supported by HP which was it's original publisher and to the best of my knowledge no Blueray burner currently uses it.  LG was one of the last to use it for CD and dvd drives in 2014.
