Had to return it
The drive would read my pre recorded blu ray discs. Kept getting error messages.

Not what I needed Thought this might be a slim standard 5.25" enclosure drive. This would be ok for a laptop but I need a standard size drive the will stay put on my desktop.

Fills A Need
Since neither my laptop or notebook have DVD drives this allows me to access data on old disks. Perfectly.

Great Player
The Slimline Blu-Ray player works great have zero problems with it, but the software you need to down load is complete garbage an always has been, I an just happy that I still had my own software I could install to use this device.

Ok for a plug and play
It's no where near as fast as the internal drives on my desk top. but it's the only alternative for the new junk computers. all of my desktops have two built in drives. one dual layer DVD recorder and one Blue Ray Recorder. to me that's the only way to go. the only regret i have with my desktop is downgrading to windows 10. now my games won't work any more.

Right now can't rate. Have trouble installing 2 programs on my new Windows 11 pc wiith this. Discs spin & stop nothing shows up on screen One being a brand new one. Not understanding why they won't work. Disappointing especially for the price. Was so hoping to be able to put these on new pc to continue using the programs.

Versatile Verbatim
This high-quality Verbatim drive reads and writes a WIDE variety of discs including Blu-ray and archival M-Discs for long-lasting records of family photos and other vital documents readable in a standard DVD format. The formats are obsolescent however so it may be hard to find discs much longer.

Terrible Instructions (Requires 3rd Party Software)
The first DVD Player that the salesperson sold me was a read-only device so I had to take it back. It was a Verbatim. Then the store sold me another cheaper device that could read the DVD. However it would not run without downloading third party software. The documentation did not indicate this anywhere nor did it recommend software that was compatible. Then w...

bought for ripping
I bought this to rip DVDs I own to my computer for preservation purposes and the read rate is very slow. my computer is high end and I have it connected properly and it still doesn't rip the stated speed. It reads very slow. I don't run any other programs while ripping and it takes 15-20 min to copy 5gb. If this isn't what you want to do it works great.
