Good price and GREAT customer service

Thanks to MthsTec for supporting their product! This external Blu-ray drive was not working properly. I had inconsistent results with my DVDs and Blu-rays and was able to figure out the problem. MthsTec offered to send me a new disk to see if that fixed the problem. The new drive wasn't much better. However, I found that the drive (which shows up as "Matshita BD-MLT UJ240ES USB Device" on my system) was set to DVD Region 2 and I had to change it to DVD Region 1 for my use. I did this and now there are no problems reading disks. I also noticed that the Windows 10 driver on my system for this drive (cdrom.sys) is as follows: Manufacturer: Microsoft Driver Date: 21.06. Version 2006: 10.0.18362. 1 It seems to be a very old driver. So if anyone finds something better please let me know. Finally, the instructions for this drive speak of a micro-USB cable connected for power, but it seems to work fine without it. MthsTec recommends plugging in the power cord during use, so I guess the choice is yours. Overall I am satisfied with the product and the quality of customer service. MthsTec takes care of their product support and that is really important.1.
