## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good
*by C***U on 24 August 2025*

Too pricy but working fine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Packaging
*by S***N on 26 July 2025*

Product is good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent drive but UHD playback crippled by SGX requirements
*by A***1 on 24 August 2025*

The possibility to enable LibreDrive is there but it's not on by default. I enabled it by downgrading my firmware. All PowerDVD versions running on new AMD or Intel(texcept for 7th till10th gen) without the SGX extensions will not be able to 4K UHD discs. So check for this info before you buy if you want to use it for 4k uhd playback.
