Review on ASUS BW-16D1X-U External Blu-ray BDXL Drive: 16x Speed, BD Suite Disc, USB 3.0 Cable, Power Adapter and Cord Included by George Halbohm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great backup disk

Reads everything I throw at it. I didn't try to write it down because I don't need it, I just read it. No problem backing up my films. Pretty big, but it says so in the description. Actually, that's not a problem. Note. I use this on my laptop. The specified laptop must be connected to a Type-C power hub (no power cord attached). This drive for some reason requires a lot of power via USB along with the included power cord. When I connect more than one drive to the hub, nothing works. I just plugged it into the other side of the laptop. - No, I did not try to connect the power supply to the hub. The cord for this is deep in the ground that people haven't seen in years (behind the TV). I use it when using a laptop for a media center or streaming Steam games in the living room - no I haven't used it, just the drive itself in the hub. Haven't thought about it until now, and the laptop is COMPLETELY across the room. Also, my external drive and mouse have to be connected to it or else the cable gets messed up and I can't use the mouse on the limited desk space. knows? nope I would order this again. It's great (for what I want). If you have hard drive problems
