This is the model I have, only paid like $60 for it when I bought it so I have no idea why it's so expensive now. Maybe I just got it on sale and forgot lol. It's been a good drive though and I haven't had any issues with reading or writing blu-rays. Just remember that you'll need special software to play Blu-ray movies since things like Windows Media Play don't support it.

got a Blue ray writer many yrs ago, if your PC supports sata, it should work.

For playback I use Cyberlink's PowerDVD. I've heard you can get them to work with VLC however but I never tried it since I had already purchased the software before I had ever heard of VLC xD

VLC support needed a third party plugin that no longer seems to be supported. I tried about a year ago with no luck.

 

I don't watch Blu-ray disks much but when I do I use Leawo Blu-ray. Can be a bit clunky but it is free. I usually just rip the disk with MakeMKV.

Intel Xeon 1650 V0 (4.4GHz @1.4V), ASRock X79 Extreme6, 32GB of HyperX 1866, Sapphire Nitro+ 5700XT, Silverstone Redline (black) RL05BB-W, Crucial MX500 500GB SSD, TeamGroup GX2 512GB SSD, WD AV-25 1TB 2.5" HDD with generic Chinese 120GB SSD as cache, x2 Seagate 2TB SSHD(RAID 0) with generic Chinese 240GB SSD as cache, SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850, x2 Acer H236HL, Acer V277U be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, Logitech K120, Tecknet "Gaming" mouse, Creative Inspire T2900, HyperX Cloud Flight Wireless headset, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
