Dont get an Asus. I had one that failed. I have a Pioneer Bd-RW BDR-212M Has been very relaible but then I do not use it much, mainly for ripping blu rays. The Asus that failed was just a reader. I got a writer as I thought the laser would have to be stronger for writing so last longer - I have never written a Blu-RayCan someone recommend a decent Blu-Ray compatible drive for a PC?
