Review: Great external drive for all your disc reading & burning needs - This drive is perfect for ripping blu-ray movies with capable applications, as well as for playback of music CDs, DVDs or Blu-Ray movies. It is quiet and reads the disc with speed. Definitely worth the price. It is easy to use and I'm sure it will continue to work for years to come, the drive is very solidly built. I have not tried burning discs, so I don't know how that will turn out. One thing I do not like is the bright blue light that's on top of the unit while it's powered on. That means I either have to power it off (there is a power switch on the back) or cover it with a cloth at night. Otherwise, this drive is very recommended. Review: Great drive for backups - Reads whatever I throw at it. Didn't try burning because I don't need it for that, just read. Has no problem backing up my movies. Kinda big, but that is there in the description. Not really a problem. Note: I use this on my laptop. Have a power delivery type-c hub attached to said laptop (no power cord attached to it). This drive needs a lot of power over the usb along with the power cord it comes with for some reason. If I plug more than just the drive into the hub, nothing works. I just plugged it into the other side of laptop. - No, I did not try to plug in power for the hub. The cord for that is deep in a land that hasn't been seen by humans in years (behind tv desk thing.) I use that for when I use laptop for media center or steam game streaming in living room - No, I did not try just the drive itself in the hub. Didn't think about that till now and the laptop is WAAY over on the other side of the room. Besides, my external drive and mouse need to be plugged into it otherwise a cable mess appears and I can't use my mouse on my limited desk surface. If I had the chance to go back and order something else instead of this knowing what I know? Nope. I would order this again. This is great (for what I want.)

If you are having problems with the drive ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ !!!! IMPORTANT !!! *by S***L on August 19, 2020* This drive is amazing, but there are things to know about it! What to expect is an extremely high quality Disc writer. It isn’t blazing fast on reads, and I haven’t tried burning a blu-ray, so I can’t comment there. However- this is important- IT DOES NOT COME WITH ON-BOARD BLU-RAY MEDIA SOFTWARE I didn’t realize this when I bought it, but it can not plug-and-play blu ray movies, you actually need to download software to be able to play movies. It works beautifully with the proper software (4K, HD audio, immersive). I gave this 5 stars because as a tool (and what it’s made for) it’s incredibly high quality and a painless installation. Also, it’s kinda big, check out the dimensions for sure. I like it, but it’s definitely not for everyone. ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS BW-16D1X-U 16x External Blu-ray BDXL Drive with BD Suite Disc USB 3.0 Cable Power Adapter and Cord - Verbatim BD-R 25GB 16X Blu-ray Recordable Media Disc - 50 Pack Spindle - 98397 - Verbatim BD-R XL 100GB 4X White Inkjet Printable, Hub Printable - 10pk Spindle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/44908028-bw-16d1x-u-16x-external-blu-ray-bdxl-drive-bd](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/44908028-bw-16d1x-u-16x-external-blu-ray-bdxl-drive-bd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
