It works well,
I got this version as an OEM, so it didn’t come with any software or extra like a sata cable. I use this to back up my photos for photography because camera these days save at a higher file size and a dvd wasn’t going to cut it anymore. The window vista built-in disc burner is too slow and you have to guess how much gb is left. There are free blu-ray software out there like cdburnerXP and Imgburn that works.
Sadly BD-r are slow with 4x beong common and 6x comes at a premium price. Also BD-r are not as cheap as dvd, so burning takes like an hour to complete and a coaster disc is a costly failure. I had no failure burn yet, but it is a relatively new for me. I use Ridata BD-r 4x and it works. If you are new to blu-ray, maybe get the retail version so you get the software to burn and play movie, which to me is worth it.

|Outstanding player for those with the right knowledge,
Excellent drive, plug and play 0 issues so far
It comes alone no software included but if you know where to look you will find the right player for you at no cost.
Burning a BD is a charm using the right tool(dvdfab)
I just build my new system and this is definitely an absolute winner at a great price (under a $100).
No screws included, but mayor good cases are tools free, so not a big deal (at least for me).
I was hesitating about the other bad reviews but I’m completely happy with it
hopefully it will last.
Enjoy!!!

|Works Great with windows 7 64-bit,
Hi,
This drive installed easily and windows found its own drivers for the drive and it just worked fine.
I played back my TRON blu-ray disk and it played back great.
I then burned a blu-ray of my home movie for 2011. Wooo my 1st HD home movie.
The disk played perfectly in my PS3 and looked awesome.
Like the Ad says, no cable, no screws included – who cares I have plenty of that stuff.
Also remember no software comes with this, but I already had software to do the job.
Awesome deal, good quality drive.
