Works great but only has burner programs included. You will need a advanced program to play Blu-ray films on laptops and desktops. VLC free works great with Dvds and CD. Standard CD can also be played with WMP. Cyberlink powerDVD 18 (payable - depending on you knowledge) or above recommend for play Blu-ray. The included programs work great for burning and ripping. (We have alot of audiobooks on cd we like to have on our MP3 for travel) Usb c connection is brilliant for my laptop. (It is by chance also a Asus) This Product works a charm as long as you have the right programs. CDs, and likely regular dvds, will be plug and play. The burning programs are easy to install just be wary of the spam included as always. The player is mostly silent, only startup it has a thinking hum. It doesn't turn hot at all. Sleek design.

This Blu-ray reader and burner works on Mac and pc is very silent and small, looks very cool with blue led ring

The big problem is that no information is provided that this Blu-Ray player/burner needs special software to actually play Blu-Ray disks. Neither Amazon nor ASUS clearly warned punters of this. Eventually, after well over an hour of frustration, I found that a search for "Programs to run Blue-Ray" gave some good answers and I chose for my Mac the program 'Blu-Ray Player Pro'. To make it worse, while this program is not bad, it had no Help manual either. Then it took another hour first to prove I could get it to run on a Mac Studio and then on a bottom of the range old Intel Macbook Air that could drive the odd TV. It did run on both and produced a good quality image and audio of The Prisoner (long story) on both. The only trouble I had was synchronising the audio with the picture and while it is better now, I am not sure how I did it. The final result is 'Not Bad, Good even, but prepare yourself for a slog to get it all working'.

Not had a chance to use it to it's full potential yet but fast at copying CDs.

The lead is very short - but a nice slim lightweight drive.

Best one I’ve found had no wasted discs to date

it works very well !

Initially this worked very well, but after some 6 months grew more and more temperamental - had to be stopped and restarted ( unplugged an plugged in again, disc ejected and reinserted, interrupted (frozen) playback resumed) increasingly frequently, a bit over a year stopping dead completely. Ye, I've had wore, but it's still annoyig. Further drawbacks: A) It got very noisy at times (loud whirring ound for up to 30sec at a time (presumably fan cooling) - really irritating during quiet musical passages B) The input socket is too flimsy - in the final few months the slightet touch resulted in the connection being lost, requiring a fair bit of wggling to restre it.

Comprada para sustituir una grabadora SAMSUNG con conexión 2.0 que empezó a dar problemas, tengo que decir que el comportamiento de esta ASUS ha sido impecable hasta el momento. La uso para grabar datos directamente desde el Finder de macOS sin software de terceros, usado en BR de 50 y de 25 gb, he acabado casi con dos tarrinas y ni un solo fallo hasta el momento . Me gusta su diseño elegante y discreto, ademas esta bastante bien de precio. La recomiendo totalmente.

Bra produkt

excellent produit rien à redire c'est le top.

L’Asus SBW-06D5H-U è un ottimo lettore e masterizzatore portatile per Blu-Ray, DVD e CD, pratico grazie al supporto USB Type-C e Type-A e compatibile con diversi dispositivi. La qualità costruttiva è buona e le prestazioni sono più che soddisfacenti. Un consiglio personale è di non utilizzarlo alla massima velocità di masterizzazione, così da ottenere risultati più sicuri e ridurre il rischio di errori, soprattutto con i Blu-Ray. Usato in questo modo si dimostra affidabile e stabile. Consigliato a chi cerca un masterizzatore esterno di qualità.

Comme tout lecteur BR celui ci n'est pas équipé d'un logiciel de lecture de BR et comme Windows 10 ne peut pas les lire non plus il faut passer par un éditeur tiers pour trouver son bonheur. Sinon le lecteur est réellement performant et discret (comparativement à d'autres lecteurs externes, néanmoins il reste bruyant comparativement à un lecteur de salon). Il est le complément parfait des PC portables actuels qui sont dépourvu de lecteur optique. Sa connexion via USB C assure une vitesse de transfert importante et son alimentation.
