5.0 out of 5 stars Snappy, pretty quiet, durable
This is a really high quality build that plays Bluray video quickly. The included Cyberlink software is very out of date, so you have to buy an upgrade, but the upgrade is cheaper than buying a retail license, so you save some money that way if you need Bluray player software.Works great over USB 3.0 -- my previous external Bluray player only supported USB 2.0, and it took ages to start buffering the video playback. This one is much snappier thanks to the greater throughput.The physical dimensions are of course quite large, but this is understandable: it takes technology a while to miniaturize. Since BDXL writing is state of the art right now, there are no slim form factor drives that can do everything this drive does, and as fast as this drive does it. If you were looking for a slim form factor device that isn't the size of a laptop and doesn't require external power, look elsewhere, but be aware that it will be slower and less capable. That is the tradeoff you must evaluate when buying an optical drive.The unit is solid and seems difficult to break, unless you dropped it out a window on concrete or something. The hard plastic shell feels like something you would expect out of a decent laptop build.You can definitely hear some noise when the disc starts spinning up and seeking, but once the drive is streaming your video or burning your disc, it's basically silent. You won't have to worry about hearing this drive over your movie, that's for sure. During playback, all you'll hear is the whirring of a small, low-speed fan -- a couple decibels at most.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!
I had ordered a different writer/burner last year when my pictures on my hard drive started to corrupt. I got one from a different brand after researching for days. I hated it! It spit out half of the disks as errors when some of them were perfectly fine and it took anywhere from 2-8 hours to write one disk and half the time spit it out halfway to two thirds of the way through it was infuriating! However! This year I needed to find another one due to my computer having serious issues and most likely needing to be wiped. I did more research and decided on this one! The software you have to download is a little confusing but I got through it. I've done one disk so far with no issues! It hasn't spit the disk out, completely finished the writing in less than 30 minutes (wrote about 20gb) and is more than 60% through the verification at less than 40 minutes total so far for everything! I may skip the verification next time to cut down on time but I'm honestly really impressed and will be keeping this one!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Replacement
My other burner/player worked great until I had to build a new PC with Windows 10. And when I tried to install the old unit, I found it was not supported by Windows 10. So went to my favorite shopping center to look for a replacement and after about an hour I found the BUFFALO Media Station Desktop 16x External Blu-ray Drive and I compared it with 2 other units and I decided this was the unit I wanted. It works great, plays and burns like a champ. But there is one small issue, there is no power off button! It does turn off when I shut down the PC, but I would like for it to be powered off when not in use. Other than that, it's a great unit, and it's exactly as described online!
5.0 out of 5 stars Will work with every format of disk. period.
I love this burner, you know how your burning a cd/dvd and the progress bar says 100% but the burner is still burning, then you get an error code stating something along the lines of: insufficient data or not enough room on disk, something stupid like that. Never with this burner, sure it's a little pricey, but I've never lost a blank disc to a stupid burner error, cd, cdrw, dvdr, dvdrw, bdr, bdrw, none of them, unless the disc was totally scratched up and unusable, but I've put some pretty rough disks in it and it still wrote to them. I was skeptical at first because of the price of the thing, I mean 192 dollars....whoa, I can buy like 6 burners for that price, but now I know why I paid that much...quality and it's a workhorse, there's nothing it can't do, even those enhanced DVD's, dual layer 4.6 GB, it can do those too. If the disc fits in it, it can play, rip, burn, copy, whatever, if you have the software . 5 stars goes out to this machine, best disc interface I've ever purchased. period.
La mejor unidad de Blu-Ray que he tenido en años
Sin duda para medios ópticos la calidad es lo más importante. No confío en productos genéricos para almacenar mi información. Es por eso que elegí comprar esta unidad por su excelente reputación y fabricación japonesa. Muy sólida en construcción y rápida en rendimiento.
Excellent product that worked right out of the box
I had recently tried a different external DVD/CD drive (purchased from another company) with my Mac Mini and was disappointed that the unit did not work at all. After troubleshooting with their tech team and arranging for an RMA on it, I went with the Buffalo Blu-ray model from Bolo and have been very happy with it. It works on both my Mac Mini and Windows machine through a KVM switch with a USB 3 hub so I can access the device on either machine without having to disconnect and reconnect the drive between computers. It reads every kind of media I've thrown at it and I've been able to burn gigabytes of old photos to DVD archives without a problem in both computing environments. I love the fact that the drive has its own power supply so using it with the powered USB hub and KVM switch combo is a breeze without creating a power load problem for either computer. Would definitely recommend this for anyone needing to add an optical drive to their computer set up.
Gerät ist für US Markt
Wie schon vermutet wurde das Gerät mit einen Steckernetzteil ausschließlich für den US Markt geliefert. Leider kein universal Stecker. Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob das Gerät wirklich neu ist. Die Verpackung war sichtlich lädiert, könnte sich um ein Retouren Gerät handeln. Funktion soweit ok habe es mit dem Netzteil des zweiten Gerätes geprüft welches ich schon länger besitze. Habe mir ein Steckernetzteil mit 12V 3A nach bestellt.
Great product
Easy to use, quite and well built.
Drive seems very good so far.
Drive was delivered in retail box. It was rainy and windy so I was watching for delivery. I opened door as driver was bending down to place it on my wet porch without knocking. Drive seems very good so far.
