Question: Does this come with the required software to read discs?
Document: This drive has been able to read any disk I have put into it. It did not come with any software, so I had to purchase software to watch Blue Ray disks with it. Runs very quietly.
It reads blu ray discs very well. It does NOT come with software to playback blu ray movies natively, but you can purchase your own software easily enough.It worked right out of the box and hasn't failed me.
I mean it's an optical drive, all it has to do is work. Everything hooked up fine and OS installed properly through it. BF3 also installed fine on it. Blu-Rays look good but remember you need software to watch Blu-Ray movies that optical drives don't come with. This is the perfect all-around read/write dvd/blu-ray drive.
Plays Blu-Ray discs (software not included). Very quick and silent drive. What more could one want out of a Blue-Ray reader/DVD Writer.
If you're looking for a Blu-ray drive for your PC, I'd definitely recommend this one. Particularly if you're using this in an entertainment system, it's insanely quiet - even when copying data from Blu-ray discs and the disc is spinning at 12x speed, you can hardly hear it at all.As noted in the item description, software is not included. In fact, nothing at all is included with the drive.
The title doesn't say it, but it's just a bare drive. There are no cables, no drivers or utilities, or bluray playback software. It's just a bulk drive and unless you read the description, you may not realize this. -1 star for that.For me, it works fine since I already had bluray capable software, but for anyone else who is looking to add a bluray drive to their system, I HIGHLY advise that you find a more expensive unit that is bundled with software.
They sent me a different version of this and the button on it looks ugly and it didn't come in a slandered bulk just the bulk shipping box and no software
I wanted a blu-ray drive on the cheap and I got exactly that with this product. It didn't come with any software but worked out of the box with my Windows 7 64-bit OS. I've had no problems and no issues. It gets perfect marks for being as advertised and working with no fuss.
I got it for $53.99 but right now its $34. Why does this always happen to me? !Anyway, popped it into the drivebay, hooked up the cables, and tried it out. I already had blu ray software so I didn't care that it didn't come with it. It runs both blu rays and dvd like it should and i also like the fact that it doesn't run loud at all.
Silent, fast, good looking. Just plug and play. Doesn't come with any bluray software, but I was aware of it. I did'n try to burn anything yet , so we will see.Update 06/28/2013Just downloaded the VLC Media player, and can't be more happier - I can play all my Blu rays, and no need to pay hundreds for PowerDVD or WinDVD. Thanks VLC!! !
Answer: No, not for Blu-Ray movie playback. You'll need to purchase that separatley. There are several demo versions of software you can try out on the internet, the full versions of which run between 50-100 USD.
