Works for me (mostly) By nlel1975 I bought one of these Blu-Ray slimline external writers from someone in China on eBay. The drive is basically a Panasonic UJ-230A slimline sata laptop drive in an external usb 2.0 casing. I have tested my drive under Windows 7 and it works with only 1 USB cable connected (although it comes with 2 usb cables in case you need more power). It plays back Blu-Ray perfectly on both the Windows 7 machines I tried it on, one was a 2.66ghz iMac (running Windows 7) the other was an Acer 1810tz notebook. The only issue with this drive from my testing so far is that it cannot recognise some 4 year old -R or -RW DVD discs (which work in another drive). If you use +R +RW or +R DL DVD discs it recognises them fine and they work, I have yet to burn a Blu-Ray as I have no discs yet but I am confident there will be no problems there, the drive does recognise all pressed DVDs no problem its just the -R or -RW discs it does not like. My drive is running firmware version 1.0 and there is a 1.20 update I believe which may improve things a bit but overall I am satisfied with the drive. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. NOT a Blu-ray player but an Okay external Blu-ray drive By A. Dent First, it should be understood that this is not a Blu-ray player. This is an external optical drive that reads Blu-ray discs and can read and write DVD discs. It will NOT play Blu-ray movies unless you have a Blu-ray player software installed on your computer. These being said, what my computer believes it's a "MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ141AL 1001 10091400" turned out to be quite a decent external drive. The plastic enclosure is reasonably sturdy but the disc tray needs to be treated gently when opened - it's probably easy to break but it's no worse than the disc trays that are part of any brand-name laptop internal DVD drive. The drive is powered through one or 2 USB 2.0 ports and the 2 cables are included. I was able to operate the drive while powered through one USB port only. I am not using the drive to play Blu-ray movies but, given that it was able to read Blu-ray discs reliably, I assume that it should play movies with the proper software. On a Windows 7 machine the drive was recognized and could be used immediately and I suspect that all Windows XP or later machines should have no problems. There drive comes with a CD to install the drive on Windows 98 computers. As for the manual, I don't understand why they didn't use Google's free auto-translate service. The output would have been a lot better than "damager caused by unauthorized repairs are not included within the guarantee period and they are subject to be charged" or "please do not place the driver under easy pressure to guarantee the proper operation of the drive." By the way, the reference to 'guarantee' above does not mean that a warranty is actually provided because I couldn't find any warranty statement. To conclude: good external drive, doesn't play Blu-ray movies unless you have the software, no documentation, no explicit warranty, no tech support. Me, I'm happy with what I got and reading the 12 (short) paragraphs 'manual' was fun so it's 3 stars meaning "it's Okay". My advice: if the tray doesn't open, the case is cracked or the drive is not quickly recognized by your XP or later Windows computer, return it immediately. If it actually works - and mine did - chances are it will continue to work for a long time if treated with care. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. DOES NOT WORK ON ANY MAC By PETER VADASZ The claim that this device works on ALL APPLE COMPUTERS is wrong and missleading. It does not, unless you convert your Mac into a PC by using BootCamp and install the Windows OS which needs partitioning your HD and costs extra $$$ to buy. See all 5 customer reviews...
