Pros: - Works as advertised - Got an email back same day when I had a problem

Cons: - The correct product showed up in the wrong box and with no substantive manual.

Overall Review: When I got the box I was initially confused and then upset that there had been a bait and switch, because the box itself was for a different product, but the device itself was correct. Then when I tried the product, my Win10 box didn't seem to recognize it. I wrote to the email that came with the product and was quite pleased to get a helpful response in just a couple of hours. As it turns out, I was wrong to assume that Win10 can play Blu-rays w/out additional software. A bit of web searching and a free download later and everything worked well.

Overall Review: I needed a solid, easy-to-set-up external optical drive, and that's exactly what I got. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for an affordable and reliable drive for reading CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays.

Pros: - Easy to use, no drivers, worked out of the box on Windows- Fast

Cons: - USB cable could have been longer

Overall Review: Love it, can use it on any PC I need when I need an optical drive and those devices don't have one (every single device in my home). Using to rip my DVD/BRD collection and works perfectly. Very small design, can put away in desk when not in use.

Pros: - Great sleek design - Plug & Play - No driver update to install - Works great with Windows 10 - Powered through it's USB connection

Cons: - Included USB cord could be longer, but how big is someone's desk anyway? - Not sure if it was the USB port I was going through, the Software I was using (Ashampoo), or the drive itself, but I wasn't able to burn at a rate higher than 4x

Overall Review: Would buy again, but maybe research burn speeds ahead of time.

Pros: Slim form factor, not terribly noisy, plays well with VLC media player

Cons: Blu-ray support is iffy. My HDR and regular blu-ray disks would not appear in Windows 10 to display. However, I need to spend more time tweaking with software to get DRM content to play. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Overall Review: Pricey for what it's worth and for an outdated media type. For DVDs and CDs, this is a quality drive that is portable and plug and play. Blu-ray support is possible, but expect to do some research and work on your end to make it work with Windows. I needed a portable drive so I could watch my DVDs again and this delivers.

Overall Review: I got this because I wanted to start digitizing my blurays. Unfortunately it worked on just one, and failed on the next three that I tried. I have looked everywhere to try and figure out why 1 disc would work just fine but not these other ones. They all work just fine in a bluray player, but when I put them into this external drive while connected to my laptop it does not read all the discs. It keeps clicking like it can't read the disc. Pop out that disc and put in the one and it works just fine. I don't quite get it. Why wouldn't it read all blurays? The three that don't work are all squeaky clean and pretty much brand new. I have also spent considerable time searching online for possible driver/firmware updates, and when I type in the model that's printed on the bottom into a browser nothing comes up, as well as when it's connected to my computer it shows a different model number, and web searching for that one produces no results either. Questioning if this is the right drive for me.

Pros: It read the Blu-Rays I tried.

Cons: The tray seems like it would break pretty easily if anyone accidentally put pressure on it.

Overall Review: This is a simple external drive that just works. I wanted to test the 3D functionality before writing a review, but unfortunately I couldn't get a version of PowerDVD that still supports 3D Blu-Rays.

Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Short cord

Overall Review: Glad I have a USB-C port on my new computer as the regular USB 3.0 wasn't enough to power the drive. After I figured that out, everything goes smooth. Wish the cord was longer!!
