Some reviews on Amazon said it gets rather warm inside and that after some extended use the lubrication inside applied from the manufacturing can dry out, causing scratchy noises whenever you eject a drive until you re-lube it. Along with the access times sometimes being super long and the USB 3.1 connection being recognised as USB 2.0 by Windows. And the CD/DVD burning not being that good either. One review said, as it has no active cooling one shouldn't burn more than 5 discs after another. In their review it said that after 1.5 years of use it broke as some plastic parts inside have melted. Have you encountered any of those issues or similar ones after having used it for backing up your stuff?
I made myself a 3d printed outer casing with a big fan that's always on. Maybe you know someone with a printer who can help you. I know, a product should work without such measures but I guess we cant3have that anymore.
Maybe you should not listen too much to inline crap ‘that you have heard’. Samsung is the most obsolete manufacturer trying to sell its crap to customers, but is still bought as there are bought positive feedbacks. Same with negative!
I’m definitely interested in this disc drive since I want to back up all of my PS1 games and also watch my anime blu rays on my PC other than using my PS5. It’s just a cool device to have and I love disc drives.
I was thinking about using it as a player more than recorder, but you never know when a long-lasting backup may be needed. Besides, Asus earned my trust during the last almost two decades, and this will make a nice set with my gaming pc with Asus Rog motherboard and accessories
Nice, same here. ROG ASUS Crosshair 8 Hero wifi mobo with 64gb ram and a 24gb ROG Strix 3090 GPU. I was just using this video to ensure it was actually plug and play before I plug it all in.
You must specify this … 4K BluRay you do not need to do it for! But those have nothing to do with UHD! UHD you can inly play with SGT Intel CPU … and even they cannot play them all. Short … for UHD forget PC!
Anyone have trouble playing a blu ray movie? I just bought one and it only plays dvd. I have VLC media and this comes up: Blu-ray error: This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///G:\'. Check the log for details. Is there a better software to use? Thanks for your help.
VLC … just use google and read what you need to do! Cannot believe people get too lazy doing a 60 second google research to get what they are looking for! Instead expect people writing all the shit into the comments! Go and look it up! No problem to use it!
Also thinking of getting this asus or the OWC Mercury Pro to backup blu rays for plex. Have you had any issues ripping blu rays? How long does it take to rip one? Thx!
The software that comes with the unit is outdated so you cannot play DVDs or use any of the included programs. Plus they will charge for each program to update. So it cost far more than they advertise.
Use some common sense? Of course you must pay hard cash for suitable software! Or simply use free software. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The focus is on data any way! Its not to watch DVD or BluRay … for this go and buy a proper player!
The time when digital is really good is when you’re at home or have a phone, but if you are collector, the loves movies then you should get Blu Ray and 4k
Use proper terminology, you make no real sense! There is BluRay, 4K BluRay and UHD! This writer reads BluRays including 4K. UHD a different standard it does not read … why should it … there are no blank discs and its predominantly a writer! And … UHD cannot be displayed on PC’s … only with old Intel SGT CPU’s!
Hello Simon. Can I connect this to my Sony Android TV with Google TV OS to play my personally written BDR and BDXL? I have a dedicated player, the Panasonic UB820 but it doesn't play certain files. So, I want to take the advantage of VLC player on Google TV. Thanks!
Probably doesn't help you but I can connect it to my Linux laptop without problems. Can you connect ANY optical drives to your TV? Because then it probably works.
I purchased this along with 16x blu ray discs and I cannot select 16x write, only 12x. This is in both the included software and native windows writing tool. Drivers on PC and firmware for the burner are up to date. Any ideas?
What is this nonsense for? The blanks are still quite expensive! Go and buy the damn BluRay instead of pirating! People like you destroy the discs! You must illegally get around the copy protection! That will get you to jail!
Can You read Blu-ray 4k discs in this device?, and send the information stored in the disc to a AVR in order to manage it so You can get HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, Hi Res audio, etc, etc and enjoy movies en Ultra HD 4k on the TV?. Thank You!!
There is a way but not from the disc directly. First you need to flash the drive firmware to a libredrive firmware to enable 4K support. Then rip the movie to your NAS storage and then use plex or some other streaming software to stream it to your smart TV/AVR/media player etc…
Use some common sense. It is a discount BluRay burner … go and get a proper BluRay player to watch BluRays … when you say 4K … do you refer to UHD? Thats not 4K BluRay! Thats an entirely different system requiring a UHD player, UHD cables, UHD TV and UHD ports! Better familiarise with the different systems a bit.
Region goes through the player you use. You have to download VLC, go to Tools > Preferences > Bottom left: Show settings to All > Input/Codecs > Access Module > BluRay. And there you can change the region it reads.
It's not compatible with Ultra HD Bluray. I can't find anything on the website though (besides what you already found). So more than 2 layers --> you're out of luck it seems. Edit: The Asus SBW-06D2X-U and SBC-06D2X- U can read and write to BDXL.
@@joeschmoe3815 I ended up buying one anyway lol, I found out that the blue and red lasers are for blu-ray and dvd, not for read and write, and that means if it can write them it can read them too, so the one I got works fine
@@joeschmoe3815What are you writing about? Has nothing to do with the question. Hardly ant PC will play UHD as that was stopped with the death of Intel SGT! Its about Tl/Xl BluRay!
@@donmarion56And? You did not even check what the warranty covers! What do you want … do not write weird comments, get in touch with customer service! Its a laser device … why the hell should laser be excluded? Are you 12 years old and need assistance how to manage returns?
What utter nonsense … 12 to 20 … in controlled environment? Thats simply a lie! My discs from the mid 90s are ALL intact! And they were treated like shit! Scratched, frozen in boxes in the cellar, boiling attics … tapes do not survive 15 years … despite controlled environment they were done after 20 years as started to rot!

it is good to know that the M-disc will last a 1000 years I'm already 699 years old so I love that feature !!
Nice!

I can't believe it works for XP. Very nice of them to do that.

When your HDD or SSD fails, or you have concerns with cloud storage then discs are physical and long-lasting. Discs make sense 100x over.

@@PathosBedlam Ride on! So far everything's been great, as expected
Thanks for the review. I'm going to get one as well
You're welcome, I hope the drive works well for you.
This will play DVD's and Blurays fine on a laptop?
Hi I have a question, can I flash this Blu-ray drive to play 4K movies?

I have over 1200+ audio CDs, this looks cool. Can it play ACDs as well?
Hi. Can you watch 3D movies with it or burn them?
Its no blurray player! Its a PC drive!
Also thinking of getting this asus or the OWC Mercury Pro to backup blu rays for plex. Have you had any issues ripping blu rays? How long does it take to rip one? Thx!
What did ya got in the end?
Copy protection! Impossible for many! Takes ages as extremely slow!

Reads and writes 4k UHD as well?
If not, can you personally recommend one with all the features mentioned in addition to 4k UHD?
UHD cannot be played on any PC any more .. . Requires Intel SGT CPU. if you still have an old one,even then its Russian roulette!
The time when digital is really good is when you’re at home or have a phone, but if you are collector, the loves movies then you should get Blu Ray and 4k
What nonsense … you can stream UHD, DTS, Atmos, AC3 everywhere … why BluRay??????
@@GanymedeXD when it bluray to take with us on trips and to keep in our collection
Seems any bluray recorder can write M-Discs. Anyway, Do you have any complains after one year of usage?
In terms of playback, does this drive handle UHD 4k and HDR? Thanks!
No, only standard blu-ray discs.
Use proper terminology, you make no real sense! There is BluRay, 4K BluRay and UHD! This writer reads BluRays including 4K. UHD a different standard it does not read … why should it … there are no blank discs and its predominantly a writer! And … UHD cannot be displayed on PC’s … only with old Intel SGT CPU’s!
Does it allow you to customize the led color?
How long would it take to rip an average blu ray?
yes
16x … hours …
Can it play dvd rom games

It is no player it is a burner, writer … go and get a proper BluRay player!
I purchased this along with 16x blu ray discs and I cannot select 16x write, only 12x. This is in both the included software and native windows writing tool. Drivers on PC and firmware for the burner are up to date. Any ideas?
Why burn at 16x … do NOT do it …try low speeds otherwise you waste plenty of blanks! Increases errors!
Does this play normal blu-ray movies discs from all regions?
I'm looking at H.L BH16NS55 for exactly the same reason.
How long does it take to rip your average blu ray?
Can this Rip Blurays??? I just bought one and I wanna make sure it dose
Most are copy protected … those not … except you illegally circumvent it!
Can that external cd drive be connected to a laptop?
Yes. That's what it's made for.
Can you rip a blu ray with any dvd and burn a 1:1 backup that works on blu ray player with menu?
That depends on the software you're using. This opt drive is a reader/writer, so yes, it has the capabilities.
What is this nonsense for? The blanks are still quite expensive! Go and buy the damn BluRay instead of pirating! People like you destroy the discs! You must illegally get around the copy protection! That will get you to jail!

Sadly no.

I would like to know what the picture quality is.
Picture quality doesn't depend on the CD/DVD/Blu-ray ROM Drive
Its a writer/burner … irrelevant! Depends on your screen!
Can this read Blu Rays from all regions?
Region goes through the player you use.
You have to download VLC, go to Tools > Preferences > Bottom left: Show settings to All > Input/Codecs > Access Module > BluRay. And there you can change the region it reads.
The website says this drive writes to TL and QL discs, but does it read them too? They're not listed under read speeds
It's not compatible with Ultra HD Bluray. I can't find anything on the website though (besides what you already found). So more than 2 layers --> you're out of luck it seems.
Edit: The Asus SBW-06D2X-U and SBC-06D2X- U can read and write to BDXL.

Good choice!
The lite cannot play discs!

100 years!!!!!! More like 12 average and 20 at best if stored in a controlled environment. Tapes are 70 years+

It doesn't work
To bad the design is so ugly. Otherwize it would be a no brainer
Yeah, it is quite bulky!
I bought it for the criterion collection blue ray discs but the thing is broken
@@mikehirsh1896It might not play copyright discs! Its mainly a burner for your data, no Player!
Doesn’t play 4K Bluray movies it’s useless
The hardware is 4K friendly. You can find a guide online that'll tell you how to flash the firmware so you can play 4K
