5.0 out of 5 stars Liteon BD Drive, November 6, 2009

This review is from: LITE-ON 4x Blu-ray Disc SATA Internal Optical Drive iHOS104 (Personal Computers)

I bought this drive as a 2nd drive in my computer, with the added ability to play Blu-ray discs. For the price it really can't be beat, especially since it includes good software that costs retail almost as much as the drive. It's also a very quiet drive. So far it plays everything I stick in it, with no problems. The picture on my new 23" HP 1080p monitor is drop-dead gorgeous and very stable. You do need a decent video card to use this drive, but the one that came with my new HP has a dedicated 512 mb of memory and works fine. It also has an HDMI output.

The only minus I can say about the BD drive is that it came with an SATA cable, but no power conversion adapter.

This review is from: LITE-ON 4x Blu-ray Disc SATA Internal Optical Drive iHOS104 (Personal Computers)

I was very skeptical about a BluRay drive that costs a little over $60 when everything out there is alost twice that.

I got the drive for a computer that is connected to my 46" TV to play my Netflix bluray rentals. The drive comes with some software but I did not install it because I had my own newer version of PoweDVD.

I played maybe 7 blurays with no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended for the price.

P.S.: The drive is not noisy either...

This review is from: LITE-ON 4x Blu-ray Disc SATA Internal Optical Drive iHOS104 (Personal Computers)

I have been looking for a good and inexpensive BD-ROM for quite sometime now(almost 1 yr+) and I am sure I got the right one

LITEON brand is not something would give me a lot of faith as far as product quality is concerned specially after reading lot of bad review for their eariler BD Drives but I saw quite a few good reviews of this newer model on [...] which convinced me to try this drive and I am really happy with it since I start using it a month back.

This Drive is fast, very quite and stable. It also comes with PowerDVD software which is pretty much what you will need to play Bluray on your PC(along with a compatible video card and monitor).
