User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit a double sided m.2 drive like the xpg sx
Answer:	The previous six I bought didn't have a power port. The last two I bought late in 12/2020 (delivered 1/2/2021) does have the power port and is a darker gray. These are either an earlier model that were dredged up from somewhere or Cable Matters has returned to including the power port (although no power cable was included). Whatever the reason for the power port being on the last two I bought, they still work fine and support TRIM.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this play all 3D blu ray discs
Answer:	Theoretically, it should play all 3D discs since all 3D discs are 2D discs with an extra angle for the left or right eye.
Question:	comes with installation CD for Mac
Answer:	I just emailed them with that question. What i am really wondering, is what I paid $149 for, instead of getting the one that cost $116. haha But, the stuff on the disc cannot be installed on a Mac. It is in .exe format. So, no go there.
Question:	Does it work with windows
Answer:	Th good news is that it works fine with Win10 and Win10 Pro. The bad news is that it is mechanically a very odd machine and difficult to use. The strange-shaped on-off switch on the back is hard to use and inconvenient. The front right corner "button" that opens-closes the disc tray is very hard to see & use, works sometimes, other times only with great difficulty. Very peculiar designed machine, and I have relegated it to a distant, seldom used #3 of my 3 Blu-ray recorder-players.
Question:	Can you just play Blue Ray movies in it
Answer:	Long reply ahead, but this is useful information for anyone new to Blu Ray on PC. Unlike DVD and CD before it, Blu-ray is built with some pretty hefty encryption designed to stop piracy. To (legally) decrypt Blu-ray movies, a programmer needs to pay exorbitant fees to Sony. Cyberlink and various other companies pay this fee, and ironically, Microsoft has to pay it for every XBox One they make. So, every Blu-ray drive for PC has to make a choice: bundle a copy of some program that owns a Blu-ray license, or just deal with only being a backup solution for a small price decrease. No Blu-ray drive is going to play Blu-ray movies out of the box. You can spend $20 or $200+, but you still need licensed software to play the movies. Unfortunately, the best choice right now is Cyberlink and their PowerDVD. Alternatively, they're *are* programs out there that let you simply copy or rip the Blu-ray, but those are of questionable legality and usually require an expensive ($100+ per year) subscription. If all you're after is something to play movies, I really just recommend a $60 4k Blu-ray player or a PS4/XBox One. PowerDVD runs $60 here in Amazon, so you'd be paying the same for a physical device as you would a piece of code.

Question:	Does this drive read blu ray discs
Answer:	No, I'm sorry, just DVDs and CDs. Thanks for inquiring though.
Question:	Would this work for Lenovo ideapad
Answer:	I am confident it would dependent on your OS of course. I'm running Windows 7 and was able to use the drive without installing any additional drivers, plug-and-play. Therefore if you have Windows 7 or newer OS it should work, not sure about Vista or XP. It is a great little drive and in my case it even works using a single USB port if necessary. However I would recommend calling Lenovo customer support.
Question:	Hello, I would like to know, would this external DVD RW player fit the ASUS K50INseries laptop
Answer:	Yes since this laptop contains" 4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external connection via USB this should work fine. Once connected the OS should install the proper driver automatically.
Question:	is there a built in stand
Answer:	Which is it? Stand included or not. First you say no on November 10 , then you say yes on November 12. O purchased this so It would stand up. False advertising.
