This Blu-Ray Burner has worked perfectly for my needs. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable Blu-Ray Burner. Just be aware that if you plan to play Blu-Ray movies with any Blu-Ray drive you may need additional software in order to do such but if you are just looking to backup files then I certainly recommended this drive as a good option. Hope this helps.
I bought this just so I can play bluray movies although I don't use it to burn blu-rays but its great to have that option just in case I might need it in the future. I saw some reviews below and I notice people are complaining and give this product a bad review just because they can't play bluray movies. The thing is that you need software to play the bluray movies, you can't simply pop in the bluray disc and expect it to play just like a dvd movie.
I was hoping to use this drive to watch some of my blu ray movies. BUT, after installing all the included software, it still won't playbck blu ray movies. Not even VLC will do that. Any one else find a good video player to use with this drive?
Product arrived promptly and in great conditon. Burns Blu Ray just fine. Plays movies, basically does everything the manufacturer promises. Recommended. If you don't need the Blu Ray burning capability, the less expensive BC-12B1ST will do everything else this does (including reading Blu Ray). I have both, they both are great.
The product itself is fine. works as designed. My main issue is that there is no bundled software that will allow you to watch BluRay movies. That should be pointed out in BOLD. This is the first dvd player/burner that i have bought with that missing. I called ASUS and they said that i would have to buy software to make the device work and the rep couldnt believe that it wasnt part of the bundle.
I thought this was an ungraded non-OEM drive ... but it is not. The software included is for drive writing - no BlueRay software is included. I was confused so now hoepfully you will read this and know the facts. Still, a bit noisy (aren't they all) but works. Downloaded "trail" version of software to play some movies and it's works and can rip them.
I installed this Asus Blu-Ray Burner Drive into my desktop computer without difficulty. I could not find a less expensive option than this, and it works perfectly well. Be aware that you get the drivers and software to burn Blu-Rays and DVDs, but no software to play Blu-Rays. So if you wanted to use your computer to play blu-ray movies, this drive will work but you'll have to buy additional software to do so.
I have built a number of computers. In all of the upper-end computers, I used this unit.I have read reviews of this product that proclaim it to be the number-one rated product in its class. I believe it.Although I don't have anything else to compare these to except for really cheap units that worked only half the time, this Asus has been a consistently high-quality product. That is why I continue to purchase them for my builds.
Either way I need to buy more stuff.
