Review: Great bluray player with only 2 easily fixed downsides. - I had a cheaper no name bluray player that kept spitting out the discs at random so I decided to buy a more reputable one and I'm happy I chose this one. I only received it today but tested it with both a bluray and dvd movie. Please keep in mind I already subscribe to cyberlink software that includes power dvd. They both played all the way through with no stutters and no ejecting the disc at random. It reads the discs very well but cannot comment on burning or ripping them. The stand does feel like cheap plastic but it is sturdy and easily attachable. I have it stood vertically and it looks nice enough whilst not taking up too much space. My only problem is when it stands vertically, the discs feel as though they will slip out before it enters the player. There is a little grip at the bottom when you insert them but they look very unsteady. I did not have a problem with them slipping out but will edit this review if they do. This problem can be easily solved though by making it sit horizontally. The biggest downside is it does not come with a UK plug, it is a 2 pin European one, and I do not think the software included includes playing bluray without a subscription. I did not take a star off due to already being subscribed to Cyberlinks software and already owning a 3 pin plug adaptor for the 2 pin plug to fit into. It may seem quite expensive but this is one of those 'you get what you pay for' products that I recommend highly if you are looking for a great bluray and dvd player.
Review: Good m-disc writer - Good writer, recognised without any problems by Linux and M-Disc capable. Stand is very handy and it looks good. Quiet when burning, good write speed. Warning: mine was delivered with EU plug.

**Q: What's in the box? Do I need to buy anything else in order to install and get this running?**
A: You can play blu-ray with VLC player and its free.also if you have nero burning rom that plays and records blu-ray you can get a free install with a few month's trail version

**Q: What are m disces ??**
A: data, photos, home videos etc stored on  a usb stick, dvd etc. they start to deteriorate after 8 + years. If these are stored on an m disc they will last for hundreds of years without any deterioration. Also you can get M Discs, which are the same size as a normal RW DVD disc, that will store 100GB of data etc and store it permanently.

**Q: how is it powered**
A: I agree with the others, just plug in the SATA power cable and away you go. When I installed mine I was replacing a DVD drive that was powered from the standard wiring loom so make sure you have enough connectors on your motherboard to take the SATA data cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good m-disc writer

Good writer, recognised without any problems by Linux and M-Disc capable. Stand is very handy and it looks good. Quiet when burning, good write speed. Warning: mine was delivered with EU plug.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with Mac, but bundled software for PC only.
*by U***C on 18 August 2023*

The quality of this drive is solid with a robust albeit plastic casing and an aesthetically striking design. Burning seems reliable and quick, I haven't tested on PC but performance on Mac systems with appropriate software (See paragraph below for details) is quick and reliable. Setup of the drive itself was easy, although if you have a Mac there is one major caveat: The bundled software is for PC only. so if you need authoring software then you will need to find a solution that works for you, which if you have an M1 or M2 Mac could prove a problem as Roxio Toast, the former market leader in burning software for Mac computers has a somewhat spotty reliability record on these newer machines. This is not a reflection on the drive, which remains a solid piece of kit, but more indicative of the less than pro-active attitude many software companies have towards keeping ahead of the curve regarding software production for the Mac platform. These software niggles are in no way the fault of Asus, nor are they exclusive to this particular drive, just something to bear in mind if you have a newer M1 or M2 Mac.
