Great device to have for those old DVDs and BluRays.
I use this drive with my computer to watch my old DVDs and BluRays. It’s compact and sits nicely upon my tower.Note: You will need to download software, PowerDVD, to use the player.Also, when my drive stopped working (I suspect it was a problem with the USB cord), the company worked with me to troubleshoot the issue, then sent me a free replacement because I was still within the independent 2 year warranty period. The issue was taken care of within a week.Thank you very much.

Inexpensive, but displays a good, clear picture
For the money (inexpensive) this "wintale External Bluray DVD Drive, Portable Blu-ray External DVD..." plays well and delivers a good clear picture. However, (1) it is somewhat delicate, so handle it gently, and (2) while it is "plug and play" from a Windows driver perspective, it is unlikely to play many of your Blu-ray (BD) discs until you download (a) a Blu-ray/DVD software player, and (2) various Windows (I'm using Win 11 Pro) .DLL files, and get them installed in the proper directories on your PC or laptop.Even then, there will be Blu-rays and even some hard-protected DVDs that aren't going to play on this device (but from what I've read, it seems you'll encounter this problem with most any external computer BD/DVD player you buy). I found that by using (after installing and setting them up) 3 FULLY-FREE (not trial period, no watermarks, etc) software players (VLC, MPC-HC, and Leawo, all 64bit versions), and using 5 Blu-ray disks and 2 known hard-lock DVDs for testing, neither of the hard lock DVDs played to the end of movie, but I was able to get 4 of the 5 Blu-ray disks to play on either 1, 2, or all 3 of the 3 software players I installed. The other one, I couldn't get it to start at all (I know the disc works, because the box-type BD/DVD player connected to my TV will play this disc).Another note: If you want to be able to use the menu (Play/Chapters/Scenes/Extras, etc.) on your Blu-ray or DVD disks, you'll need to have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your computer. Sometimes not being able to use a menu will be problematic, so as a last resort I offer this: using VLC player, specify "Open Disc", click the round radio button for Blu-ray, mark (select) the check-box for "No Disc menus", then select the appropriate "Disc Device" (i.e., your optical BD/DVD drive) holding the disc you want to play, then click the "Play" button.Disclaimers:(1) I am no super techno-wizard, but I am not techno-illiterate either, and it still took some time to figure out how to get this (hardware and software) all to work for me. Unless you are a techno-wiz, expect to put some time into getting this set-up. Maybe you'll do I better, and quicker, job than I've done!(2) I bought this primarily to watch Blu-ray disc movies. I have not tried playing any home-made discs, nor have I tried burning any discs with the drive.Lastly, I don't know about the longevity of this device as I've only had it for a couple of days, but when it plays, the picture quality is good.

The most useless CD/DVD player ever created
This Blue ray drive cant preform the most simplest task that most DVD drives can like ripping CDs? Nope, it says error after 5 seconds of ripping a disk so don't count on it to do that simple task. Even fails at what it advertises. It detects a Bluray/DVD but will not up it in any shape or form. Not a single software works with the drive. The biggest waste of money

Convenient and Works great!
I am extremely pleased with this USB external Blu-ray dvd drive. The setup is simple and straightforward, and it connected to my computer with ease without additional drivers. The Blu-ray disc playback quality is excellent, and the audio is crisp and clear. I really appreciate its portability design, with a compact size that easily fits into my laptop bag for on-the-go use. I highly recommend it.

Value for money and happy with my purchase.
I recently purchased the External Blu-ray DVD Drive and it has been fantastic! The dual USB 3.0 and Type-C ports provide great compatibility with my devices, making it super convenient to use with both my Windows laptop and MacBook. The drive's performance is impressive, offering fast read and write speeds, and the 3D Blu-ray playback is a fantastic bonus. It’s lightweight and portable, perfect for on-the-go use. Overall, this drive is a reliable, high-quality solution for all my media needs. Highly recommended!

Simple plug and play option to play media disks
I had old DVDs and BluRay disks that I needed to be able to access when my father passed away (he liked to store photos on disks). Found this product and it was super affordable and easy to use. It is super convenient to transport since the USB cable is attached and has a nice little niche that it fits against, but I do wish it was a tad longer. But it was very simple to use, just plugged it into my laptop and it was seamless.

Good quality build.
Works great with my 2024 MacBook Air. You have to use an adapter for the newer MacBook’s which is no problem. The laptop recognizes the drive fine.I gave 4 stars only because it requires an adapter. But this is really not an issue for me.

Does NOT Work on Windows 11
The description clearly says it works on Windows 11 and needs no drivers installed, but the instructions say it works on Windows 8/9/10, not 11, and that you have to download an external piece of software to get it to work (which may not technically be a "driver" but functionally is the same thing). We couldn't get it to work with DVD or Blu-Ray on a Windows 11 machine. Some of the other reviews suggest the required software (which is third-party, not even guaranteed by the maker/seller of the drive) causes conflicts with other software, so we are not risking it.DO NOT believe the description on this one! I bought it for my daughter to give for Christmas, and because I ordered it early, I can't return it, so I wasted money on what is now a paperweight.
