Is this just a DVD drive, or does it read Blu-Ray discs? This is categorized with other Blu-Ray drives on Amazon, but BD not in specs.

Pretty sure it may be just a dvd player. It looks like an apple product but isnt. I have had it not work a number of times and had to slap it to get it going. I knoe its cheap and the alternative is more expensive but in hindsight i wish i would have gotten the more expensive mac version. In this case you get what you pay for

No, it is only a Blu-Ray reader, won't write to Blu-Ray. It does write to DVD-/+R, and of course CD-R as well.

It has a DVD SuperMulti drive, which will burn CDs and DVDs, even dual-layer DVDs. However, it will not burn or play Blu-ray discs.

I use powerDVD for my blu Ray player or you can spend more upgrading the software that comes with it (witch is only good for burning DVD and blue ray data disk) . For the money I recommend powerDVD its the best by far and don't let the name fool you it plays back blu ray too. I use if for 3d blu ray play back on my media center. Hope that helps. You got a great drive, put the now get the software and you will not be disappointed.

Do you have software that will recognize Blu ray discs? I had to purchase WinDVD 10 to get my computer to recognize my discs. B/c if the laptop didn't come with a blu ray drive it won't recognize this new drive b/c it wasn't designed for it.

This device is multi-region for DVD out of the box. But it is not completely for BD as there is a Region Code Instructions set on a piece of paper. I tried it successfully on mine. - No disc inserted - Press "Setup" - Enter code "1369" - DVD code is set to 0 which means multi-region - Blu Ray code is 1 for region A, 2 for region B and 4 for region C - press "Setup" again to saveIf you set Blu Ray code to 2 it should now read your region B disk.

Great I ordered thinking it came with Blu Ray drive. Can it be upgraded? I saw a video on YouTube that mentioned Blu Ray, but didn't exactly stated if it had it or not.

The specs say it has an "8X DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer Drive." I haven't used the drive yet and it's likely I won't. Maybe a super multi double layer drive can do it all - read/write both cd's and dvd's? I'm not that much of a Techie.

To be honest I haven't played any blu-ray disc in it yet. So I can't really help you with an answer, sorry

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive.Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

It reads and burns as advertized. It is a solid and reliable drive. I have installed about 20 of them in my classroom's computers. I'm not sure what you mean by scans as it would apply to an optical drive. I have never heard that term used with DVD drives but since I have been teaching computer repair since the days of the TRS-80 I have learned there are a lot of things that turn up new to me.

Well, Alicia B: The Manufacturer does not exclude Blu-Ray Disc - I think they would have if they found it would have been harmful or not be useful in that particualar type of Disc. I have used this a number of times with success on DVD's and CD's. But I believe probably how severe your damage is makes all the difference. Now Alicia, all you have to do is to make a decision. Is it worth the $25.00 investment + shipping if applicable to take a chance to see if it works , or improves it or not. Also, I don't know, but maybe the Manufacture has a good return policy if not satisified, Oftentimes they do. You can also check with Amazons customer service, I'm sure they would know about return policies. I hope I have helped you at least to some extent. Isn't everything about decisions? - decisions?, the right one the wrong one. Good Luck with everything, and I hope for you that it everything works out well.

It doesn't play blu-ray discs, but you can get an external blu-ray player which uses a USB connection. There is one on sale at TigerDirect right now which should work for you. Here's the link, below. You may even be able to find better and/or less expensive ones with a bit of shopping around.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3170776&CatId;=3634

Don't know about that. I hooked up a sata drive and it works okay. Best to contact the maker of the blu ray drive for info.

Robert, this is an interface adapter only, I did not connected it to Blu-Ray drive, but I recomend you to find another adapter with the power Jack separated. God bless you.
