Review on Blu-Ray Player Laptop External USB DVD RW Burning Drive by Shane Jenkins

Hardware works well but may not offer software to work with Blu-ray disc. (The disc with what appears to be the Windows version of Nero was included, but I can't and haven't tested it.) Noobs can be careful. Third party software should work fine with it. Works with several modern Linux distributions. The manual is chock full of understandable but amusingly broken English. An extra USB power cable is included but I haven't needed it yet (about 1 week of moderate use). All in all, decent hardware for the price as long as you don't mind finding and installing additional playback software. and/or decrypt itself. EDIT 2015-12-05: USB to SATA bridge failed. The drive looks dead unless you pull a standard SATA drive out of the case. The drive itself is now happy in my big laptop, but it's not a USB drive anymore. Still worth the price even as an internal upgrade, but beware of the spotty USB-to-SATA bridge. I'm deducting another star for that, since it's offered as a USB stick.
