External Compatible with Blu ray Drives Read Write Compatible with Blu ray Burner USB 3.0 and Type-C Portable Blu-ray Player with 3D PlaybackCompatible with Windows, Linux, Mac OS

This works perfectly for ripping regular blu-ray movies into digital.I did experience an issue ripping with make MKV where the ripped movies had no sound.It does not read DVD, 4K disks, and 3D disks.

Good, compact unit, at a reasonable price. It doesn’t take up much space on my workstation surface, and the integrated multi-plug (USB C-type and USB Standard) makes it adaptable to different USB configurations. Also, it picked and shipped quickly, arriving BEFORE the start of the projected delivery window’s start.

Received this as a Father's Day/Birthday present and it does not work whatsoever. Change that, the little green activity light flashes a little, YIPPEE. Plug and play means plug it in and it 'Should' work. I've tried every USB port on my desktop and external USB hub (14 total) and not one recognizes this drive. Tried all troubleshooters, and again nothing. Tried putting in a DVD, Blu-Ray and CD and nothing. Don't waste your time or money with this. Will be returning first thing Monday morning.Update:Decided to give vendor another shot by replacing with another external drive. Still didn't recognize drive and after trying a regedit suggestion totally crashed PC with Blue Screen of Death. Was able to back up personal stuff and just did a fresh windows 10 install and voila....so far drive is working as it should with 1 Blu-Ray, 1 CD, and 1 DVD burned and all playable on their respective devices. Just know that in order to play anything from the drive you must have programs compatible for playing from the drive. Will update again after multiple burns.

Bottom line up front-- if you're not comfortable with tech, spend the extra 20 or so dollars on a drive that's NOT Matishita or Panasonic. If you are comfy with tech (or you've already bought the damn thing and want to make it work), read the tutorial below.Issue: Player will not read commercial DVDs.Reason: The player is set to Region 2 (Europe, Middle East, Japan) by default. If you're in the US, you need Region 1.Solution: Normally we can change the region in hardware properties, but Matishita drives are infamously resistant to that change. We can force it to update to the correct region by downloading a software:1. Download the most up to date version of CyberLink PowerDVD and launch it.2. Insert a Region 1 DVD (if you bought it in the US, it's Region 1) into the Matishita drive.3. Select the Movie tab and then the Disc option (it's set to Library by default).4. PowerDVD will prompt you to change the Region. Select Region 1 and hit OK.5. Close PowerDVD. (I recommend uninstalling it as well)6. You can now play your DVD in your preferred media player! ...Oh you don't have one? Okay step 2.Issue: My Region is correct and I still can't play commercial DVDs.Reason: Windows computers don't have DVD decoders pre-installed.Solution: Install a DVD decoder. CyberLink PowerDVD that we used above is a decoder that can play DVDs fine, but I find their money-grabbing model annoying. VLC Media Player is a free, open-source player that can play your DVDs. The playback quality is just as good as any paid service, but I will warn you that its interface is ugly.That's it! Depending on your internet speed, you should be able to do all this in less than 30 minutes. Heads up since I know someone out there is thinking about being clever-- you can only change this drive's Region four (4) times, so you can't keep switching it to play DVDs from different regions.Outside of the initial setup, the drive's been good. Plays CDs and DVDs reliably and rips them fine too. Haven't tested Blu-Ray cause I don't have any on hand, but I'll check some out from my local library and update later this week.

Really great. Needed it to convert my BR collection for Plex viewing.

This product is only USB 2.0 capable making it very slow. It also draws currents on initial read that exceed the 900mA limit for USB 3.0 ports and when I tried to plug it in to a 2.0 (500mA) port it would not boot. After disassembling the unit I noticed that the actually drive unit says that it is a DVD/CD rewritable drive giving me the impression that it cannot write blue-rays. It has only a Blue-ray disc logo, nothing about Ultra HD giving me the impression that it does not support Ultra HD although I don't have a disc to test this. Lastly the chord is way too short. Other than that it can still do enough for me at the lowest price I could find. I recommend plugging this into a self powered USB 3.0 Hub for the power issues even though the 4 wire chord proves that it is only USB 2.0.

Compact, quiet, like the USB C & USB A cord built in. Was able to transfer my Blu-Ray discs quickly and without read error. Very pleased with it!
