Review: A must have for ripping! - Works excellent with MakeMKV. I have been using it to rip my Blu-Rays to my Plex library. This thing tears through Blu-Rays, around 8x speed at most. A movie can be finished in under 20 minutes. The drive I got came with the HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH16NS58. I was able to flash the firmware easily using SDFtool -- WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin was what I flashed on it, if you're curious -- so I've gained ability to rip my UHD discs as well to the library. Massive upgrade from the generic BD-RE drive I got with mystery parts inside. Only downside is that I'll probably need to upgrade my storage soon!
Review: The complete package. - I started digitizing my library the day I got it (note: it comes with playback and burning software, but ripping is separate). These days, a reliable BD drive that can rip and burn discs is hard to come by, and most PCs don’t even have a slot for an optical drive anymore, so having it in its own case is perfect. An added bonus is being able to move it around and use it as a portable media player. Highly recommend.

### ⭐ Must buy extra software to play blurays! How ridiculous 60$ a year to play your blurays!
*by J***N on December 14, 2025*

The unit itself is all good but the included software won't even play a bluray without a watermark on it and loads a bunch of crap on your computer that you cannot use unless you by their ridiculously priced software.... which constantly beats you down about buying more more more... so I can burn blurays but can't play them cause I ditched their trojan horse software that is just a trick to get on your system to sell you a bunch of crap you don't need.....
