Obviously you can't expect much from the lowest priced blu ray reader here. Gets the job done and that's about it. Don't expect much in terms burning speed or anything. (Read More)

I haven't tested the DVD writing, but I can only assume it works fine like all the others. As for the Blu-Ray and DVD reading, this does the job exactly as you'd expect. Also, being an ASUS, it does feel a little better quality than the others. (Read More)
