    This time, it's the icing on the cake...

    Simply happy with this optical drive, it does its job properly, but very disappointed by the explanations on this one, as it is necessary to have a paid software to play Blu-ray, we will have to pay an additional software to play our own Blu-ray that we honestly bought (but, they don't notify you before the purchase).
    This almost 100,00€ player was bought for Blu-ray playback and you still have to pay between 80 and 100€ extra for software. This is a scam in disguise...
    So, it is impossible to give a full opinion on a product that cannot be fully tested.
    This is the last time I'll buy an Asus CD player - because this time, it's the best.
    Bravo, bravo, bravo ASUS.

    Perfect under Linux

    Installed on a pc running Linux (Debian 10). I was a bit worried but it was immediately recognised and able to read CDs.
    Very good hardware, robust and efficient.
    Once a few drivers were installed, it read DVDs perfectly.
    It is necessary to install additional drivers to read Bluray (under Linux) and I haven't done it yet.

    CLEAR

    There's not much to say about it, it fulfils its role correctly, we don't ask more of it.
    And I thought it was going to make a lot of noise, but it's fine.
    It remains to be seen if it lasts...

    To be avoided!!!

    Detects Blu-ray 1 in 3 times and DVD 1 in 2 times

    It's not worth investing in this Blu-ray player at all!!!

    A bit noisy perhaps?

    All the tests carried out (CD, DVD, BR, home-burned and rewritable CDs and DVDs) have been conclusive. All good, then.
    But we can hear it well; fortunately it was not a question of mounting it in a living room multimedia computer.
