Noisy drive

TheQuickFox 4/4/2024

Drive reads and writes all discs it should but it has an annoying whiny noise when playing audio CDs and blu-ray movies. Fine for data discs but not for multi-media usage.

Excellent choice for 4K blu-ray discs

Remus M 1/19/2024

Ive replaced an old internal DVD writer with this drive and Im very happy with the results. For 4K blu-ray discs you need the VLC Player free and MakeMKV the beta version is free as well. You also need to downgrade the firmware version from 1.04 to 1.03 very easy with MakeMKV. Youll end up with an excellent 4K player and ripper.

Needs Slimline to SATA adapter.

toofur 8/12/2023

Works fine but as with all slim drives youll need a slimline to SATA adapter to fit it in. No special cables just an adapter.
