Great drive for ripping and backing up or media server your movies with. Supports Libredrive firmware for MakeMKV so you can region-free rip at full speed. Doesn't work with 100% of movie discs, but I would say a good 99% of them. Also supports M-Disc record-able blu ray discs, I haven't used that function just due to how much the discs cost, but it also burns CD and DVDs well.

ASUS Blu Ray burner works on the following: Windows 10, 64 bit....Power2Go software (by Cyberlink) is the software included with the burner. Successfully burned a 25GB and 100GB Verbatim M-archival disc. The Power2Go software is standalone and does not need internet connection. The S/W is easy to use. 25GB M-disc took about 30 min to burn and the 100 GB M-disc took about 1.5 hours.

I biought this drive specifically because it is a drive that is fully supported to rip my 4k Bluerays to storage for easier use by my media server. This drive works perfectly for that once the firmware is downgraded.

I have been backing up our computers to DVD and external drives. That takes a lot of DVD disks. I am moving all those backups from DVD to Blue-ray to save space. I also save photos and downloads for computer to them. It is so nice to be able to put 25gb. on one disc instead of just 4.25gb. Happy days. This is a lovely drive and also have an Asus DVD burner that we've had for many years. If burning blue-ray in Nero you need to connect to the internet to be able to burn to them. A small price to pay for more room. We don't trust the cloud, we are old fashioned.

The last computer I build with an Asus disk drive was over ten years ago and it still works flawlessly to this day. I purchased this one to put in my wife's new computer and the quality is just as good as it's always been. Easy to install, opens, closes, reads, and copies fast, quiet, and reliable. I fully expect this one to perform just as long and well as my original (which I still have and use regularly).

I remain a fan of ASUS; monitors, motherboards, whatever. This drive is no exception. The software is useless but so said the other reviews. I use the AnyMP4 bundle to play and copy DVDs and Blu-rays to my hard drive. This drive works just dandy, thank you.

Quiet and relatively quick. About 12 minutes to burn 22GB. Routine installation of burner and software. Burning backup disks of photos and videos went smoothly. The software leaves an ugly "gadget" on the desktop that I'll probably learn to ignore in a couple days. Otherwise the software functions as required to burn bluray disks. My tower is a Dell XPS 8300 with covers over the front of the burners. You push a button off to the side and the tray opens the cover from the inside. The Asus BW-16D1HT fit right in and functions as if it was factory installed. Very low processor/memory usage. I am still using Windows 7 so I cannot comment on Windows 10 compatibility.Update June 2016: After upgrade to Windows 10 I can report that the burner works as expected under Windows 10 as well. Has not burned a coaster CD/DVD/BR disc yet. Have not yet tried an M-Disc.
