7 in 1 External Blu Ray Drive, External Blueray/DVD Drive for PC with SD/TF Port Blu Ray Burner, Support 100G Disc R/W for PC External Blu Ray Drive for Windows Linux MacOS Laptop Desktop

I recently purchased a Dell 15 inch laptop but it does not have a DVD drive, which I do need on occasion, and it is skimpy with just 3 USB and 1 Type C ports (most of the time it "acts" as a desktop with external keyboard, mouse, and monitor which take up 2 of its 3 USB ports. Thus, I have been in the market for an external DVD/CD drive and this 7 in 1 External Blu-ray Drive grabbed my attention with its impressive capabilities coupled with its 2 USB 3.0 ports, 2 Type C ports, 1 SD card slot, 1 TF card slot, so I decided to buy it. Set up took like 5 seconds - just plug into either a USB or a Type C port my laptop, and it was immediately recognized and ready for use. No drivers or anything else to install. I first put in an audio CD and it played the songs and I listened to the music over headphones connected to the USB 3.0 port on the player without having to use my last USB port on my laptop. Next I put in a wedding DVD and played MP4s and they looked great as I expected them to. My final test was to load software purchased on a DVD, namely TurboTax, because when I buy software, I prefer having it on a DVD versus a download. And that worked fine. This device has enormous capability with its Blue-ray 3D features and should perform well for anyone with those needs, but I do not presently have the need for those advanced features although I do like having that capability should the need ever arise. Bottom line, I'm very impressed with this 7 in 1 External Blu-ray Drive and believe it fills an important role next to my new laptop, and the price is VERY reasonable!

Outstanding product, compatible almost with anything you have ,love the price and very practical and slim design.

Works great but can be a little tricky to get it up and started if you are not good with troubleshooting. It is not compatible with windows 11 media player. Had to do a lot of troubleshooting and researching to figure out how to make it work didn’t want to return it and wait for a new one since I needed it for work. The work through I figured out is that you can download POWERDVD from the Microsoft store and it worked great once installed. So other then that no issues so far.

The purpose for buying this drive was to be able to rip, make an exact digital copy of my, old DVD movies and TV-shows that have not even been remastered to Blu-ray, and then my Blu-ray movies and TV-shows, that have still not been remastered to UHD. Then using Topaz Video AI 5, I would remaster them all myself to UDK (4K). I have two fairly new and powerful Laptops, both running latest version of Windows 11 64-bit. Connecting this drive to either Laptop, and trying to reboot, this drive could NOT be recognized by Windows! I immediately returned this drive. Before that I had tried the Alphami External Bluray DVD Drive, Ultra Slim USB 3.0 and Type-C Portable Blu-ray USB DVD Drive and although it could read DVD-R's I had burned with videos myself, it was unable to read a single copy protected DVD. Yes I used a separate USB power cable. After that disappointment, I did not bother trying a Blu-ray disc. I also returned that one. Finally I got the ASUS BW-16D1HT and Vantec NST-536S3-BK NexStar DX enclosure, and Eureka it's reading all the disc's I tried so far!

Very nice, compact and unobtrusive. Seems to be sturdily built. Good price, too!I wish it had a slightly longer cord, but I also like the fact that the cord is stored underneath in its own place. (Probably why they didn't make it longer).I have not yet used it for a Blu-ray disc; however, it works flawlessly for DVDs so far.

Got this blue-ray drive to play movies and music albums. Worked for my CDs like a charm, however would not play blue-ray discs as advertised. Normal DVDs worked when DVD Region 2 was changed to Region 1 for the U.S.A. (can only change this option 4 times total).Note: I'm not a highly technical person but I know my way around a computer. If I figure out a user setting which allows blue-ray discs to work on the drive, I will update this review.

This is a great and affordable Blu-Ray DVD player/writer. It's very responsive and easily connected to my laptop with a variety of connection choices. I used CyberPower DVD player to watch my Blu-Ray DVDs, which they actually suggested in the instruction pamphlet. One nice thing was this now acted like a supported USB/micro/flash drive connection and I could access any additional plugged-in device. I used it with a portable hard drive, SD card and micro-SD card to see if it really did all that was advertised. I even burned a DVD with it. I had movies stored on an external drive and I searched through them (and any file on that drive) and not have to disconnect the player to connect the external drive. It has a low profile, and while the door is not automatic open and close, the operation is easy enough. I really like this unit and I can recommend it. Since it can play Blu-Ray and regular DVDs and burn both, I don't really need to use my other player/burner at all!

I use this external Blu-ray drive to install software from a CD since my laptop doesn’t have a built-in CD drive. So far, it has worked fine without any issues. I also appreciate the added USB Type-C port and SD card reader, which make it convenient to transfer files from my SD card to my laptop. While it has been functioning well, I haven't used it extensively yet, so I can't speak to its long-term durability. Overall, it’s a useful device, but time will tell how reliable it is.
