(More customer reviews)As my title says, I popped this drive into my ASUS G50VT-X5 laptop. Installation was a breeze (there's a great video on YouTube. Search. You'll find it.) I removed two screws from the bottom of the laptop, slid my old drive out, removed the plastic bezel and metal guide (which has four screws) from the old one, put them on the new BD drive, and it just slid right in with no problems. Once the screws were back in place, it was secure, and Windows 7 recognized it right away.
This plays Blu-ray movies with the help of some additional (not included) software. Cyberlink PowerDVD does the trick, but there are other software packages out there that will play Blu-ray Disc movies. Windows doesn't do it natively, though; You'll need additional software.
The other functions all seem OK. It handles DVDs, CDs, and RWs just fine. It burns well on CD, DVD, DVD DL, and other CD or DVD media. It does not burn Blu-ray Discs, though, so be sure you're not looking for a Blu-ray burner when you get this!
What more can I say? SATA has made installation incredibly easy, and everything works as advertised. If you're looking to upgrade a laptop to Blu-ray, this is probably the best deal going. Just make sure your laptop has some serious horsepower, because low-end computers can't handle processing Blu-ray movies. You need a decent CPU, a decent GPU (not a cheap GMA onboard chip) and a fair amount of RAM (by today's standards).
If your computer's up to it, having BD support is pretty nice.
Now if only they'd start packing multi-disc DVD Windows games on single BDs, I'd be all set!
