There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had an Amazon Basics DVD burner, and it was stable, never failed to do what it was supposed to do. A bit flimsy on the case, in that the case often flexed when you did something silly, like close the door. That is just a cheap build, the case was almost cosmetic. But, functionally, the drive itself was a solid performer at USB2 speeds.
The Blu-Ray disk I found was in the $50 range, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The case didn't flex, but it was not stable, dependable and as I later discovered - not supported, no firmware updates, and generally hated by the community for both Windows and Mac.
So, I got this guy, for my shiny new M1 Mac mini, recognized instantly, works solidly, great build, quiet, and I'm burning frame rates in the 120+ fps range, which is probably more of a function of how fast the hard drive can write, than anything else. This thing is silent, no vibration, no noise, spins up fast and so far has been absolutely perfect in all regards.
I suppose I could live with these things since I don't have a lot of physical media these days and this isn't a device I expected to be using often, but the biggest problem is the drive's performance. The few times it worked, everything was fine. No read errors, playback was great... but that's when it worked. Most of the time, the drive seemed to be unaware that a disc had been inserted. It would briefly spin up, spin down, spin up again, spin down, or worse, it would just do nothing. Sometimes it would read the disc upon insertion, but playback or ripping would immediately fail with a "no disc inserted" error.
Strangely, another problem was that even though the drive behaved as though no disc had been inserted, it would also refuse to unmount the disc and open the drive bay, whether triggered via software or the physical eject button on the drive. I can't tell you the number of times I had to paperclip this thing to retrieve a disc from the drive. Sometimes I could get the drive to behave by dropping a heavy book on the desk right next to it--the drive seemed to "wake up" and read the disc with no problems after that. But I'm not spending $90 on something where you have to "jiggle the wires" to get it to work properly. That's just pathetic.
Given the number of similar complaints I've read about this thing, I have no confidence that a replacement unit will perform any better. Any company that lets this many defective units off the production line isn't getting my money. If you're feeling lucky and want to gamble that maybe you'll receive one of the good ones, then go for it--it's a good price point, and other people seem happy with theirs--but I'd advise you to keep looking.
The drive is a good size, about the size of a standard CD, making it portable. The top surface has a very slick finish with some cool added lighting that changes color. Discs are loaded via a pop out tray, works very similarly to many PC laptops
Has a built in USB cable that contains both a USB 3.0 and a USB type C connection at the end for added flexibility. There is also a micro-USB port at the back of the drive for connecting to an additional USB power source, but I haven't found myself really needing it yet since the laptop supplies power through the built USB cable.
The drive works both on PCs (Windows 10) and Macs (MacOS Catalina 10.15.3). For both operating systems, the drive is very much plug and play for viewing disc data. For playback on Windows 10, Windows Media Player will play CDs. For DVD playback, I had to do a bit of digging to find something that will work in 2020, but VLC media player is a good free player that will play DVDs on Windows.
On MacOS, Apple Music and Apple's DVD Player will automatically play CD and DVD media respectively. For MacOS specifically, I found that you may need to shut down and boot up your computer with the drive plugged in (versus plugging the drive into a computer that's already on) in order for the OS to recognize the external drive's CD and DVD media (versus just viewing the discs as data). You'll know if MacOS can recognize CD and DVD media if you go to System Preferences and you see "CDs & DVDs" listed. If it isn't, restart your machine with the drive plugged in. The drive also functions differently as expected on Macs for ejecting discs, requiring an eject from the MacOS software directly as opposed to the physical eject button (which works with Windows).
The included manual for the drive also lists specific programs for Blu Ray playback on both Windows and Mac (PowerDVD for Windows and Macgo Blu Ray for Macs) as well as other important information. I was able to get Blu ray playback on a MacBook Pro running Catalina with the Macgo Blu-ray Player Pro (free version available with paid registration that removes a small watermark). No problems at all, picture and sound quality is top notch.
All in all, a solid, capable, and very versatile disc drive that does the job on both operating systems. Very happy with it and I will definitely be using it. It's very nice being able to play some of my old disc media again at home on a computer after not being able to for a while (I normally use a MacBook Air which has no disc drive). Plus if I find other CDs from decades ago lying around containing some long lost data from college or even high school years, it'll be nice to be able to access them again for nostalgia's sake. Which is kind of how I see this device, a way to unlock nostalgia from years past. Plus the added ability to play Blu ray media (something the Apple Superdrive is unable to do) is a huge plus.
Digital media is still the future, but there's still a small place for disc media for many of us (my parents especially too), and having a device to make it available on all laptops is very handy. Definitely consider buying.
