Review on ๐Ÿ’ฟ High-Performance SEA TECH Aluminum External USB Blu-Ray Writer Super Drive for Apple MacBook Air, Pro, iMac by Mike Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a perfect drive, but it works and won't break the bank.

Pros: * Sturdy aluminum construction * Fairly quiet * Meets advertised features Cons: * Slow - Copying (I think burning too, but I don't know firsthand) takes about twice as long on this external drive by comparison to other similarly priced Blu-ray drives I've used. However, I have to admit that the other drives were internal, so maybe the speed is normal for external drives. the drive is sometimes slow to mount. In other cases, it must be unplugged and plugged back in for it to assemble properly and work with the computer. I've also had trouble opening the door instantly and automatically when I try to close it. This usually happens all the time until I unplug and plug the drive back in. None of the drive jams made it completely unusable, but it can be a little frustrating at times.
