Asus 90DD0200-B20010 Internal Blu-Ray Writer (16x BD-R (SL), 12x BD-R (DL), 16x DVD+/-R), BDXL

If you know what this is, this is a good one. If you don't...well, your life is incomplete without this. Came as described and fired right up with zero problems. I have no idea how these die but my last one went to the spirit world when I needed it the most (probably a female) and Amazon got this one to me in a day. Like it was waiting for me. Stalking me in cyber space. I stuffed it in my new ASUS build and have no issues with it. Unlike cheaper versions, the door on this is very solid and the tray action is very smooth. Windows 11 has the drivers. Not much else to say but if you're on the fence, this is the one.

Had to return item as the case did not allow for internal components.

Mounted this drive in a Vantec DX2 enclosure ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SS74KCN ) and it has performed flawlessly ripping DVDs and Blu-Ray using WinX DVD and Leawo. It is super quiet compared to the LG DVD drive I've been using which was so loud I had to paperweight the top of the DX2 case to stop the vibration. WinX DVD with the LG required using safe mode; the Asus does not require safe mode and rips much faster. Ejected read-only discs aren't coming out warm either. I've driven it pretty hard in the 18 hours I've had it so long-term reliability is an unknown but with that caveat I recommend this drive.

If your hunting for the blu-ray player that can burn 4ks, this is the one. Be prepared for research, though. It was a heck of a hassle, but I was able to do it with this one. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, do your research first.
