This came exactly as pictured unlike some of the other reviews who had a flat emblem, etc. (Picture attached.) I decided to go with this drive against the other cheaper ones for two reasons. One reason was because it came with blue ray player - media software. This alone can range up to $40. Windows 10 does not come with any software and this kit takes care of that issue. The second reason was that this drive appears to be future proof to an extent. It has M Disk technology, 3d playback and has the ability to work with double layer, triple layer and quad BDXL discs. With 4k technology and everything moving to hd content, this is a big factor.
My install was super easy using windows 10. Drivers were automatically installed once I turned on my pc and I used the drive itself to install the included Cyberlink Software. I have not bought into m disk technology just yet. I have cd roms I burned with data that are almost 10-15 years old and never had a cd, dvd or blue ray go bad / corrupt. Could they? I guess. But never heard of this happening or had that issue. (Only issues I may have had was a disc being physically damaged in error.) So as another review stated, if M Disk technology gives you peace of mind, go for it.
Only thing left to this review is the long term function of the unit. Will report any issues I may experience.
