Wish I could play movies too.
I love the drive. It works great and is very quiet (as disc drives go). My only complaint is that I wish it included the software required for playing Blu-ray movie discs. I bought a Blu-ray reader for my laptop a few years ago, and it was the same issue. I can read Blu-ray data discs, but can't play movies. I had to get additional software to do so. It doesn't seem like it would be a great leap, as the included read-write software is from CyberLink, and so is the movie player software. So maybe just upgrading the contract to include a base version of the movie player software along with the read-write data package? I know it would add to the cost of the unit I'm buying, but certainly worth it since the individual purchase of the software is not cheap. Maybe I'm in a minority in wanting this function for my Blu-ray reader/burner, and if so, then five stars.

Performs as expected
Seems like a good product but I’ve experienced the occasional issue where it will not read a disc. I had to downgrade to read UHD BluRay

Only choice of DVD driver
Good Blu-ray driver, thanks to ASUS for this amazing product. I can play my records and CDs from my task books. It can play nearly all DVDs and CDs in my life. Internal design is easy to keep and use it.

Be Careful what you Buy
I spend four to six hours a day of database management on my computer. I really purchased the ASUS Blueray device to watch DVD movies and to record my datebase applications. But I was disappointed to find out that ASUS does not provide the drivers to watch purchased DVD movies, and their website is very limited if you need help on drivers. I guess they think we are producing our own movies for desktop viewing. I wouldn't buy a cheap ASUS for THAT! Their help desk sucks!
