Can I use this device to store files like isos in the blu ray blank discs?

This Blue Ray is read only so I don't think so. It's mostly a dvd player but it reads Blue Ray but does not play Blue Ray.

It is a Blu-Ray reader only and a DVD reader/writer. It can only read Blu-ray discs.

These discs can be used to store digital photos from a SD card, or any other source (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc...). In order to use these discs you'll need a Blu-ray writer (Blu-ray burner).

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this device. It is a disc storage unit. You can use it to store data, music, or dvds. Any program for labeling what you are storing and keeping the list is on the website www.mydiscgear.com I recommend you have a look at that website for how they store your titles. A shortcoming I found is that they do not have a program like EXCEL to do this so that you can rearrange your data according to different tags or keywords for more variety in searching for what you want to find in the collection.

Yep. Just download the blu-ray app for free and it will play blu-ray discs.

Software can be downloaded online or you can request a disc from us - I would need to know what you operating system you have and if you are needing a media player to play blu ray/dvd or the burning software to burn cd/dvd/blu ray - Thank you

You need to format it as a FAT32 drive. It comes pre-formatted with the NTFS file system--which can't be read by most Blu-ray players.

I am not an expert on the matter ... Don't know for sure but, I will doubt you can maintain the data as the Drobo needs to rewrite the disc to assure their structure... Not sure if will allow partitions either. Perhaps contacting Drobo directly you might find the right answer

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.

Yes...ish. For data and DVD disks no problem. Mac doesn't like Blu-ray though. You will have to download software (Macgo is the only one I can find that is reliable) or use hacks with free VLC and DVDFab that are complicated and don't always work, at least for me.

I'm not sure if you can plug an External USB device and play the files, you could however share your DVD/BluRay drive on your computer and play the files over the newtork (wired gigabit connection to be stable). It will play bluray/dvd iso or raw files. I bought a few 4TB externals and just created ISO files out of my blurays so I don't have to get up and get the disc, I can just select them from a list and play them.

Yes, Blu-Rays can be used for any data that can be stored on a CD or DVD.I didn't see the rest of the question until I answered. You DO need a Blu-Ray burner. They have become very affordable in the last coupla years.

yes you can...but if it is anything like mine you will have to find software for it to actually play bluray discs

This drive is backward compatible. It reads and writes Blu-ray, reads and writes DVD and CD as well.

Yes, any type of data can be stored on it; however, if you are storing photos on it make sure that you store them in a format that can be viewed by whatever you may place the disc in (i.e. my DVD player can display photos on a disc that are in JPEG format, etc)

I used an "ASUS" Blu-Ray Burner combined with "DVDFAB" Blu-Ray burning software. It is a great way to back up the Blu-Ray movies you buy so your original won't get damaged by your kids, pets or grand kids.

Yes. If your OS or bootloader can see the device, you can use it just like any other CD / DVD / BD reader.
