Asus BW-16D1HT BDR DVDRW 16X SATA Optical Disc Drive (Black, Tray, Vertical/Horizontal, Desktop, DVD Super Multi, SATA)

Optical drive is amazing, reads and burns disc perfectly, not only that it actually reads ps3 discs so you can now copy all your games you bought to your pc/laptop to use with a ps3 emulator.

Well-made and should prove reliable. I manage up to 40x read speeds which is sufficiently impressive but I did get a few read failures with some of my old DVD burns of many years ago, but this is to be expected. I haven't done any writing using this drive just yet and so can't comment on this aspect of performance. Overall recommended.

A perfect drive for use in backing up media. Easy to install if youve ever done one before, few screws and a couple of cables. The firmware can be flashed should you need.

A 25 Gb re-writabe disc at 2 speed took about an hour to back up my music collection - not as fast as I would have hoped but it works. BTW - Cyberlink Power2Go 8 software is included on the driver disc, but you will need more to watch DVD's and Blu Ray's on this.

This drive is one of the very few out there that is listed on the RPCS3 website as being able to dump Playstation 3 discs, albeit with specific software.

Great writer, quite and worked straight out of the box.

Low power, Low Weight, Firmware can be flashed to unlock speed modes and force it to work at whatever speeds you wish.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! if you search Google on this product there's 0000's people that cannot get it to work on windows 10 (64bit ). I'm about to send mine back. It's not recognized by windows 10.

This is my second purchase of ASUS BW-16D1HT device in my life (and I even have one, also great LG WH16NS60 device), and I do not have any complaints with both of those devices at all!!! Now, for the ASUS BW-16D1HT device in particular, it is officially by ASUS corp. fully Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows 11 compatible device and do not require any additional driver installations or any similar, so just install it in your Desktop computer or in your 5.25" external case, and go. Yes, you need to additionally get/purchase a really good and versatile CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/ Millenniata (M-DISC) burning software here, like for e.g. Ahead Nero 2025, but this is quite logical here... I personally use this ASUS BW-16D1HT device for Backup purpose and to watch some bought Blu-ray discs in my house... Very reliable, good, quality product from ASUS corp. which is not a bulk product here at all - I get it from Amazon.com.be in its original ASUS box, and completely sealed!!! Inside this original box was even 4 screwdrivers to attach it in your computer case in an empty 5.25'' bay here, or in external 5.25" case. You will also get in this original box one ASUS Blu-ray optical media with optional software on it for your installations if you want: ASUS E-Green v1.01.55 (2017) software which automatically optimizes this ASUS device power consumption and display detailed information on power saved and CO2 reduced using this ASUS device. On this ASUS Blu-ray optical media you will also find: Cyberlink Power2go v8 (2018) software which is for burning CD/DVD/BD disks..., and also Cyberlink Powerbackup v12 (2018) software for full backup of your devices, and Ahead Nero BackItUp v2017 (2017) software for full backup of your devices. You will also find some document papers in this ASUS box: ASUS Webstore for 12 months unlimited data amount online backup license paper, then Ahead Nero BackItUp Pro 6 months license paper, then ASUS Warranty Card in 19 languages paper, and finally the ASUS Quick Installation guide in 36 languages paper. ... And my finally note in this of my review: On 24 January 2025, the "Alpha Bet" reviewer on Amazon.com.be here write a really good and detailed review about this same ASUS BW-16D1HT device, and I am completely agreeing with him about everything that he wrote, it just confirms my all testing's of this device also.... Thank you for this great ASUS BW-16D1HT device product!

Got it from Amazon Resale for less than 120AED! At first I was skeptical due to the low price. I even recorded the unboxing in case the item inside the box was beaten up, or if the drive inside the box was a different model. Lo and behold it's actually an Asus BW-16D1HT. Still doubtful, I connected it to my PC. Had some issues with the cable/connector. Seemed to be that some plastic bit was blocking the SATA power connector. Pushed it a little bit, turned on the PC and Windows 11 sees the bluray drive. I don't have a UHD bluray disc nor M-disc, so I cannot comment if those work. It is a bit noisy though. CD: Works DVD: not yet checked Bluray: Works UHD Bluray: unknown M-Disc: not checked

This is a great drive. Very fast. I already have similar slim Blu-ray burners but I had heard that these bigger, full size drives may soon be going to way of the Dodo bird as more manufacturers are stopping making them so I wanted to pick one up to make sure I had one before that happened. I'm glad I did. It performs significantly faster than even the best slim one (Pioneer) that I have for everything (reading/writing data CDs/DVDs, music CDs, etc.). I wound up throwing it into an external USB 3 enclosure and couldn't be happier.

ゴニョゴョニョしてUHD対応完了。 すでに一台所有しておりますが、故障したときに備え今のうちに予備で購入。

Llegó rapido y en buenas condiciones dentro de su caja original, lo cual me dió mucha confianza, tambien, llego con proteccion dentro de la caja. funciona excelente, ya he quemado varios blu-ray
