Review: Does what its advertised to do well. - Well built and fast, Works well had no problems so far with any make of disk recommended
Review: A professional, fast, mains-powered B-ray disc reader & writer - I’ve not tried to write B-ray discs yet, but the speed on reading a quantity of B-ray discs is certainly impressive. Worth the premium price, in my view. (Using it with an Apple Macbook Pro, therefore MacOS.)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what its advertised to do well.
*by S***O on 27 June 2026*

Well built and fast, Works well had no problems so far with any make of disk recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A professional, fast, mains-powered B-ray disc reader & writer
*by A***F on 31 May 2026*

I’ve not tried to write B-ray discs yet, but the speed on reading a quantity of B-ray discs is certainly impressive. Worth the premium price, in my view. (Using it with an Apple Macbook Pro, therefore MacOS.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with Mac, but bundled software for PC only.
*by U***C on 18 August 2023*

The quality of this drive is solid with a robust albeit plastic casing and an aesthetically striking design. Burning seems reliable and quick, I haven't tested on PC but performance on Mac systems with appropriate software (See paragraph below for details) is quick and reliable. Setup of the drive itself was easy, although if you have a Mac there is one major caveat: The bundled software is for PC only. so if you need authoring software then you will need to find a solution that works for you, which if you have an M1 or M2 Mac could prove a problem as Roxio Toast, the former market leader in burning software for Mac computers has a somewhat spotty reliability record on these newer machines. This is not a reflection on the drive, which remains a solid piece of kit, but more indicative of the less than pro-active attitude many software companies have towards keeping ahead of the curve regarding software production for the Mac platform. These software niggles are in no way the fault of Asus, nor are they exclusive to this particular drive, just something to bear in mind if you have a newer M1 or M2 Mac.
