ORICO External Blu-ray Drive USB 3.0 and Type-C Bluray Burner for Laptop PC Support 100GB Bluray Disc

Ordered in August 2023, and arrived with a rattle inside like a BB is stuck in there. More like a small plastic part. You can't shake it out with the drive open either. Sent that one back for a replacement and the second one came with the exact same issue! No way to know if that will damage the unit in the future. The unit works, but how long that will last is a big unknown.

Another customer [quite a few] said this, or something similar: "arrived with a rattle inside like a BB is stuck in there. More like a small plastic part. "I was able to open the drive, and it fell out. However, I have been using it about 12 hours a day since I've gotten it, and have had no issues thus far. I did forget to change the region at first [it came set as region 2/Europe and I had to change it to region 1], but that was on me.While the rattling was concerning, and a piece falling out was questionable, I have had no issues yet, and for the price, I would even buy it again if I needed another for other computer.

It worked great for CD & DVD, but as others noted it needs software to interact with Blu-ray disc. I knew this before buying so I can't fault Orico. I just gotta point out though, close to this price point most competitors include Blu-ray software.So why 5 stars if it's missing software? Anyone who specializes in building brands knows that customer service alone can float or sink a company. While the unit I received rattled out of the box; kinda sounded like a loose screw inside the casing, Orico customer service was prompt about replacing the unit. That was huge.

Tried to burn and 100GB disc and the writer will not recognize the disc. It did recognize a 25GB disc. Tried contact tech support but since it is a CHINESE based company, communication is slow and difficult. This is typical of Amazon supported products. You may find them cheaper but they are of less quality and usually don't work at all.

I couldn't get this thing to work on my laptop, I tried everything it just beeps never worked. So I'm going to send it back to get a refund, because It doesn't work.

Really cool BDXL drive, I confirmed that it reads a blank DVD-R, haven't tested it with BDXL or BD-RE DL or any of the other formats yet, but I'm happy I got it! Hopefully it works for many years.
