  • External Blu-Ray DVD-Drive

    From Jeff Gaines@3:633/10 to All on Monday, April 20, 2026 09:52:07

    I want an an external Blu-Ray DVD-Drive, internal drives seem to have disappeared and external will be more flexible. I only need a reader but I don't think they make them.

    Loads from companies like AKRF ROPLW WEQMS etc. on Amazon the reviews for which seem to indicate they don't actually work or need additional
    software to work.

    The Verbatim 43888 has good reviews both on Amazon and elsewhere. Any thoughts/recommendations please? I'd rather pay a bit more for one that
    works.

    Many thanks.

    I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.
    It was a right bugger to get him back when he ran off.

    I have one of those it works OK, haven't tried DVD burning or UHD ripping.

    Many thanks Andy :-)

    If you ever find something you like buy a lifetime supply because they
    will stop making it
