   The drive came with everything I needed to get going quickly without having to buy anything else. It included a converter from the old style power connector to a sata power connector, and a SATA data cable. It was a snap to pull out one of my DVD burners and mount this one. The software package provide is a no-frills functional package, and once again includes everything needed to burn movies or data, as well as play back the blu-ray dvds that you burn. I rarely bother to install included software packages, and didn’t do so for the drive either until I realized that none of my installed s/w was capable of playing back a blu-ray disc. This package is a stripped down package that is actually useful.

   Bought this and put it in an external ESATA/USB2.0 enclosure. The USB2.0 is too slow and I managed to burn a couple coasters. With the ESATA connection I haven’t had any yet (i’ve burned about 15 so far < 2 weeks ownership). I’m using these Philips disks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00551XMWC and it seems to work best when I put my burning software in ‘best speed’ mode. It seems to shift around the speed a lot on burning, I assume this is the quality of the disks.

   Read mode its quite fast and while I was importing a lot of old CD-R’s from 1997-2001 it readily beat the internal drives in my MBP, Mac Mini(which wouldn’t even read them) and still had an edge over my LG DVD burner (I think its like an 8X from a 3-4 years ago).

   Overall worked great out of the box, I didn’t use any drivers or software that came with it, so YMMV on that. My data management scheme is migrate each oldest generation media to the current and throw the oldest ones on spools. Being able to fit 30+ CDR’s or 5-6 DVD’s on a single BDR is a nice consolidation and refreshes the data. When BD-DL comes down to reasonable prices I’ll get a nice 2x boost in capacity.

   Drive works very well. No issues with installation on Windows 7 (plug and play). Burn speeds are quite fast, and light scribe works flawlessly. I an going to purchase a second one for my other desktop computer.
