Great Price, No Software to Play Blu Rays, (What's this?) Maybe I was just naive, but I thought that a blu ray drive would come with some sort of software to play blu ray discs. No such luck.
Worked Great While It Worked......, (What's this?) Bought this for my new PC build because of the specs and price. Worked great for a couple weeks then suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. Windows 7 Troubleshooting says the drivers need to be reinstalled but can't find them. I went to the Asus website and tried to download drivers but their download page doesn't function properly. Specifically, it asks you to choose your OS from a dropdown menu but the menu is empty. The website will not allow you to continue without making one choice from a menu of 0 items so you can't proceed. If this is Asus customer service then this will be the last Asus product I buy.
UPDATE: I was able to get the unit working again by restoring my pc to a point before the drive issue occurred. I have had no problems with the product since but I never did receive a reply from Asus Customer Support. So, while I have upgraded the item rating to 3 stars I don't think I could ever suggest buying any Asus product because their Customer Support is non-existant.
Great Blu-ray Burner, (What's this?) I have ripped and burned DVDs and Blu-rays without making a bad one.
When a disc spins-up the sound isn't that loud. My bad Blu-ray burner was a Pioneer and it was much louder.
The only issue I noticed was sometimes ripping a audio cd the drive will make errors when the drive is at it's max speed. Too fix this issue I dropped the speed down to 16x. Firmware version is 1.02 I'm hoping the next firmware update will take care of this error issue.
This is a OEM so no sata cable
This is a great Bluray, (What's this?) No doubts about this at all... only problem is BLURAY SOFTWARE!!! They don't include any player like some other competitors due, yet that shouldn't stop you. The performance is phenominal, it isn't too loud, and it is very quick on my Phenom II X6 with 2gb vid card.
Get this before its 200 dollars or something.
ASUS Blu-Ray Burner, (What's this?) This is a nice drive. It ships as promised and works very well, as advertised. I would suggest the vendor provide better support info and maybe they could include a simple software title, which facilitates blu-ray recording.
Make sure you have the software to use this drive or you'll be using the BD capable drive for slower than necessary DVD writing.
Failed with first blu-ray disk insertion, (What's this?) Failed right out ogf the box, seemed to install fine. The first attempt to read a blu-ray failed at 7%, drive noisy. Bye bye asus, shipped back. Bought a sony optirac and put the same disk in and its reading it much much fast without flaws. No firmware update available on the asus support website.
Not bad for this cheap drive, (What's this?) It takes a while to spin up and read the disc when it's already in the drive but does the job so no complains.
