This Tray-Load Blu-Ray burner is the best!!,
FYI: I copied over my review from the slot load, ‘coz I actually got a TRAY LOAD version, not a SLOT-LOAD one. I like the safety of having an emergency eject hole. Otherwise, everything holds true.
=============================
I got this DIGISTOR Blu-Ray burner for my HD videos. I am a semi-professional videographer and I record some of my shoots/subjects/videos in High-Definition. At one point earlier this year, I realized that burning to DVDs just will not be enough for HD content – the 4-something gigabytes just won’t cut it.
I decided to get DIGISTOR’s blu-ray burner because I got one of their their DVD burners as well – External USB 2.0 Powered 8x DVD Burner by DIGISTOR – and I saw from their website – [...]- that they had a similarly designed Blu-Ray burner.
The reason I was so happy with the DVD burner was that it did not need a power cord for it. I am happy to say that this Blu-Ray burner is the same – no power cord. I use it for my HD video editing, connected to my PC. I also bring it around, it is very light and portable, on my shoots should there be a need to burn output onsite.
It’s plug-and-play, no need for drivers – Vista and Windows 7 supports blu-ray natively. And I have yet to encounter a bad burn on this drive. Something to do with it’s battery powered operation, but I also made sure it has enough power for burning, I got the dual USB accessory.
I’m very happy with the product.

|Thank goodness for easy plug n play Blu-ray data storage device for Mac and PC,
I manage an audio recording studio and video/post editing facility where we deal with tons of digital data on a daily basis. We have terabytes of storage in our studios for the online edit sessions but when it comes to archiving our productions, especially the video productions, we have to deal with TENS of DVD discs to hold the raw archive data (and that’s just SD material). To store so many DVDs discs is also a task we’d rather not have to deal with. So, we had our eye on Blu-ray for quite sometime as the data archive medium of choice, what with the 25GB capacity – we can store 5 MiniDV raw footage in one BD-R disc! And for video projects with more than 5 miniDV, there are 50GB Blu-ray discs that can handle the job.
This DIGISTOR Blu-ray burner is perfect for our sneakernet and mixed-OS operations, it’s external USB 2. bus powered that we can take from one room/suite to the other without worrying about compatibility. it’s also pretty rugged despite the plastic enclosure, it has been dropped once since yet no hiccups. Blu-ray data burning and reading is native on both Windows PC (we’re running Vista and Windows 7) and Mac OS X (we have 10.3.9, 10.4.11 and 10.6.3).
Now with this external Blu-ray burner, we have minimized the number of discs that we have to handle, we have also minimized the time spent on managing a backup/archiving session since we just drop all the data to one disc, no need to calculate how many discs to use and how to split the data into several discs.
Hope this review helps.

|Great value,
Reliable blu ray burner is a great deal for the price. Only drawback is that I have not had any luck with the included software burning blu rays. I am using a properly updated version of adobe encore cs4 and it works amazingly well.
Update
Digistor contacted me to help me figure out how to properly work with the included software. Great customer service. Highly recommended
