Put into a different system, no other drives, just MB, PS, bad BD, and monitor. Good drive still good, bad drive still bad. Took out all other drives except boot and these two. Swapped them into an entirely different SATA bus. Swapped the two drives to see if SATA card is bad. Registers as empty / no response / system lock-up depending on what I'm trying to do with it.
Boot normally and then insert a disk, no read whatsoever. Boot with a disk in, it hangs indefinitely. Not dead exactly, the tray opens and disks will spin up, but no reads. But when you can't even do that right.Ĭons: One (out of two) was DOA. If it works, and it works consistently, that's a five-star drive. I don't expect to be impressed, there's no room for me to be amazed at how awesome a DVD / BR drive is.
With optical drives, the standard should be that every drive works to spec. The one that works works well so far (knock on wood) *All tests were conducted three times to ensure accuracy and repeatability of results. And look forward to and thanks to this drive I am prepared. So after doing some simple math, if I had a disc that ran at the actual 14X limit of the drive it would take roughly 6.43 minutes to complete a 25 GB disc and a more respectable 12.86 minutes to complete a 50 GB disc and finally 25.71 minutes to finish a 100 GB quad layer disc. That is awfully slow but if it were to run at the rated maximum speed of 14X as the drive supports the time would be much faster and more ideal. If this were a dual layer 50 GB disc the time to completion is now 1 hour and if it’s a BDXL 100 GB disc now its completion time is 2 hours. To put this in perspective it took about 30 minutes to fill up a 25 GB single layer disc at the presented speed of roughly 3X (Despite the disc being rated for 6X). Thankfully though by buying this it is a somewhat future proof investment as I don’t see discs outpacing the writing speed of this drive any time soon. This is no fault of the drive as it supports a good writing speed of 14X which translates to roughly 61.46 MB/s which is great but sadly the discs are not ready for this yet. I was hoping by waiting that by now they would be adequate but unfortunately they are still quite awful. Overall Review: To sum things up this is a great disc drive but I am still disappointed by the poor writing performance of Blu Ray discs.

The notification LED is a very subtle blue color that is helpful but not obnoxiously bright.įirmware update process was quick, easy and worked without issue. This makes it a breeze to find and press when not looking. Many thanks for Exporthub team’s hard work and hope we will make more and better successful cooperation for a year’s long.Pros: Love the eject button as it isn’t a single small button like most disc drives, it is the entire bottom right section on the front panel of the drive.
