SAMSUNG SH-B083L

It was easy to install and drivers are readily available for PC, as well as linux. I just don't like the software that they have to install any new firmware, the "liveupdate", you can't get past the "minimal" registration to check for updates. When you...

Can read DVDs, CDs, and some Blu-rays, can write DVDs and CDs

Does not easily update firmware from samsung to be able to play most new blu-ray titles

If you are looking for professional or high grade Blue Ray playback you should buy Adobe or other high power software and not rely on the included bundle.

Great drive that handles most any playback needs for Blue Ray and DVD based disks. It is quiet, loads quickly and plays back movies without difficulty. Included software works OK

None

I like the blinking blue light o.O.

Easy Peasy to setup. Drive works flawlessly

Doesn't play MMO's for me while I sleep

Great drive. Reads blu ray disks fine. looks good and the software works

None

I cant get the software that comes with it (Cyberlink's PowerDVD9) to play anything!!! Not DVD's and certainly not BluRays!!! I have to use my full version of Nero10 just to burn/lightscribe CD/DVD's (which is does well). I get the Fault Module Name...

A great upgrade for those wanting a CD/DVD burner with BluRay support

Everything I wrote as a "PRO" when it doesnt work

For the cost of this product, I am very satisfied. Going to build another computer and will purchase same product.

Installed automatically. No fuss. NOT OEM!!!! Comes with disk drive, screws, sata cable and a Cyberlink disk. Burned with no problems and is quiet for the most part. And as usual great fast shipping from Newegg

None so far

This thing is loud! It is by far the loudest thing in my machine and it is literally unbearable. It is also struggling to run PS2 games with Pcsx2. I will be sending it back ASAP.

Looks a lot better than the picture. Cheap price. Samsung brand

LOUD

I love both ASUS and Samsung and they both make great product's but hands down this one beats the ASUS drive by a good mile, looks wise and the way it operates. I would recommend this product to any one that wants a blu-ray player and a good dvd/cd...

I love this Drive :) it is the best drive I have ever bought to date. This is the retail box one not the oem version so it comes with the sata cable, 4 screws a trial cd so you can play blu-ray and do litescribe. I would recommend buying the retail...

I almost didn't buy this because of some of the bad reviews.I'm so glad I went with my gut on this one. It makes me mad when people are not computer smart and don't understand alot about computers then they write bad reviews. I also have the ASUS...

THIS DRIVE GOT WORSE OVER TIME, AND NOW HARDLY READS ANY CD'S.

actually reads discks sometimes.not all..and not bluray ones.. :( got worse over time

Have two of these SAMSUNG BLU-RAY DISC Players both of them are total junk. First lets start with the software that it comes with..It is also pure JUNK!!!Doesn't even play BLU-RAY discs, gives me all kinds of errors on newly built machines with...

This thing is so loud it's unusable. I may have to RMA.

I'm trying to think of a pro for this product, but can't. I guess it looks nice... thought it's hidden behind an optical drive door for me so that doesn't matter

First off, this thing is LOUD. It sounds like someone is using a gas powered weed eater in my office. A lot of the other reviews say it is very quiet, which is why I bought it. Maybe I just got a bad one, but this thing is definitely not quiet ;...
