Very happy

This thing is huge and heavy. Do NOT use a hub when plugging it into a computer, or at least a MacBook Air. And hang on, because this thing is fast at a level I did not know existed. Very happy with it. If you want a portable drive, this is not it, but it is very very good.

Best external blu-ray on the market

This is a large external blu-ray player/writer capable of reading blu ray and dvds, as well as other formats. This product is so much better than the other external disk drives on the market. I have bought 3 of these over the years, and i watch blu-ray and dvd movies constantly, this player is a workhorse. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a reliable disk drive. This unit is plug and play and works well with media software.
