Question: does it come with software and if not where is it available?
Document: This reads bluray movies just fine. Does everything that it says it will, and doesn't run as loud as I had expected after reading others comments. Only issue is that is doesn't come with any software that reads bluray discs. Luckily I work for a large electronic retailer, and got software very cheap.
Bought this product else where but wanted to leave a review. The drive is very well made and looks great. Installed super easy on my htpc and booted it up, windows 7 found and installed the needed drivers automatically. This drive come with no software, no cables, and no screws, just the drive itself. I used cyberlink software to play the blurays and the picture Is amazing, very fast loading also.
And therein lies the problem.It's a perfectly serviceable and inexpensive disk drive; I've had none of the noise issues other reviewers have mentioned. All in all, works pretty well.Except for what it lacks, which is everything except the drive itself.It doesn't come with any of the mounting or connecting hardware, no SATA cables, and no software. This means that you have to download the drivers yourself, and it does not come with any of the registered software that allows you to play Blu Ray movies.
it only last for one week after that it can no longer read. the computer detect it but can't read the data on the CD, blu ray and DVD. I am so disappointed. this is what you get when  you buy cheap. I believed that I will be ending with more expenses. I do not recommend this blu ray internal Drive. This doesn't come with a driver CD and utility software. another disappointment. There is no support item in LG website.
I didn't necessarily need to buy an optical drive, as I intended to use the one from my old computer for my new rig, but when I saw the price for this Blu-ray Drive I decided to buy it. Why buy a blu-ray player? I paid 39.99 for this surprising little thing and my computer can be hooked up to any HDTV I want. The only con to this purchase was the fact that it DOES NOT come with software.
Does read DVD-R/DVD+R, doesn't read most Blu-Ray discs. It's a waste of money (I got it because it was the cheapest one available and that bit me).
Was fairly happy with this item until i realized it didn't come with drivers for blu-ray play back. Outside of this win 7 found it and installed the device drives immediately so that i could play back DVDs with no issues.
I have owned this for a week and it does what it should. It plays Blu-ray disks and DVDs just great. I am on Windows 8.1 so I have no DVD playback at all. I decided to use the trail version of WinDVD Pro. It works great and as long as I don't come across any major issues I'll buy the full version. Will update if anything comes up.
it is what it is 4 stars cause i think the software should have came with,  what a boner in the morning when you try to pee
The lg BD is good. But not give software for player BD.I not recomend.Only use for play dvd o burns.
Answer: It does not come with software to play movies.  Software to play blu-ray movies is not free, so you'll have to buy that elsewhere.  There are several products on the market.Reading a data disc does not require software and that'll work through Windows/Linux/whatever without any additional software.  So if you're using this for data discs then you'll be fine.(To be fair, VLC can play Blu-ray movies and is free, but it requires installing a 3rd party addon and if you have to ask the question then you probably won't be successful doing it.  So just expect that you'll need to buy software to play movies.)
