Wbacon 4K External Blu Ray Drive, USB 3.0 & 4 USB Ports 3D Blu Ray Drive

Mine came with an LG Drive in it. Just Use MakeMKV and use Google AI and you'll be ripping 4k Blu Ray Disks in No time. Another reviewer gave his specs of his drive that he used with MakeMKV and updated the firmware to Rip 4k UHD Disks with MakeMKV and my specs were totally different. Basically Mine came with earliest and easiest Firmware to update. It took 10 Minutes Google AI to get this going. You just need MakeMKV and google the latest license code. Enter the license Code and MakeMKV is activated. Then Google AI told me i needed the "All You Need Firmware Pack" from MakeMKV which had the file i needed and to download the "SDFtool Flasher (v1.3.6)" from MakeMKV to flash the firmware thats in the All You Need Firmware Pack and i was off and running. Google AI which is free btw incase you've been living under a rock. When you google something the top answer is Google AI and if you want to interact with it there's a text box underneath the answer it gave you. Google AI gives easy step by step actions on how to get these drives to Rip Blu Ray 4K UHD DVD's. It's actually kind of creepy. Then once you rip the DVD it'll be in MKV format which is fine but the file size is huge. Like 50GB-80GB so you'll want to use the free software HANDBRAKE to convert it down to about 15-20GB without losing the Pristine 4k Quality and Google AI will give step by step settings on how to do that. Again, totally awesome and totally creepy at the same time. I even showed it a screenshot of my Task Manager once HANDBRAKE started the conversion and Google AI read back the results to me in less than a second. CREEPY! There's also a video on youtube where a guy with an Irish Accent shows you how to do the same thing. Video is about 6 minutes long. The Title: "How to Flash LibreDrive Firmware | Step-by-Step Tutorial for 4K UHD Blu-ray Drives" I'd actually recommend watching this 1st. It'll make the whole process easier i think bc you see how the process works first.

This does NOT do what it says it does in the description. It would not play 4k discs.... it would not even play Blu-ray. You have to download external software to use it. What happened to a finished product? I knew beforehand I would have to download the software.. did that. Still did not work. I tried for 45 minutes to get this to recognize ANY kind of disc and it would not work. Amazon needs to do a better job cracking down on mis-leading labels on products that DO NOT do what they say they do. Highly dissatisfied by this.

Works fine. I made 150 recordings and still going strong. Reads 4K and all the other Blu-ray discs. I may get another just in case.

I was happy to see that the drive I received on Jan 3rd 2026 identified as a HL-DT-ST BD-RE BU50N. The drive looks like the attached pics. Out of the box the drive firmware has Libre Mode support however Libre Mode is disabled. I already happened to have the required firmware upgrade on my hard disk to enable Libre Mode and a 5 minute trip through my hard drive and a firmware flash later Libre Mode was enabled. If Libre Mode is one of your goals this drive is a solid choice although firmware upgrade WAS REQUIRED however trivial on the drive I received. The drive is both metal and plastic topped with an angular stamped metal piece for design on the top. It's ok but I would have preferred the entire top being a nice piece of what appears to be brushed aluminum, its nice and kinda artsy but doesn't do anything to make the drive feel any more robust or nicer like some full brushed aluminum tops do. Over the past 5 days I have run several dozen disc's through the drive in Libre Mode and it has easily read and recorded any disc I have put in it 4K UHD 90+ GB disc's no problem! While this drive has the 4 USB3 ports Type A on it I would have preferred 2x USB-C ports and 2x USB3 Type A ports like I have seen on another similar drive. The two USB C ports would have been great for modern computing in 2026. Also nice to have the two different format sd card slots available, this works a treat for me as one of the things I use this drive for is storage of my 4K home movies recorded to BluRay with one of my 4K Panasonic video cameras as the source. This allows me to transfer data from the SD cards from these cameras quite easily so its a really nice addition when I want to move videos from flash onto BluRay as the card reader required is built right into the drive! Very nice touch for those of us who make home movies and save them to BluRay these days so we can actually watch them on our home entertainment platform later. Nice ok priced drive at $120 with what it has to offer and a solid choice if you desire Libre Mode although you need to do a little work to get that enabled.

First and foremost, the setup was incredibly simple. The USB 3.0 and Type-C connectivity made it a breeze to connect to my laptop, and it was recognized immediately. I loved that I could also use it with both Windows and Mac OS without any hassle. The 4K playback quality is simply stunning! Watching my favorite movies in UHD has been an absolute game-changer—every detail pops, and the color accuracy is superb. The 3D Blu Ray functionality is a fantastic bonus for those who enjoy immersive cinematic experiences at home. One of my favorite features is the built-in SD and TF card port, which allows for easy access and transfer of files. It’s perfect for someone like me who enjoys organizing and backing up media. Plus, the CD/DVD burning capabilities work flawlessly, making it a versatile tool for creating my own custom discs. The design of this Blu Ray drive is sleek and portable, so I can easily take it with me when I travel. It has a sturdy build, and I appreciate how lightweight it is—perfect for on-the-go use!

Build feels like good quality. Works for both iMac and PC, no drivers to download (in my case), it simply worked. Not much else to say, honestly. Maybe the transfer rate of data could be better, but I’m using it to simply read data and play physical media. Good price, no complaints.

I only bought this to be able to watch Bluray movies on my computer and it quit working on the first movie. I got just over an hour into the movie when it suddenly quit and reported a read error. Then my computer stopped recognizing the drive. This was on a brand new disk. I rebooted and was able to watch more. This quit/reboot pattern repeated a few more times until I got to the last 10 minutes of the movie. By then I was so frustrated I gave up and just went and bought a regular Bluray player at my local big box store. I returned this Bluray drive shortly thereafter.

This blu-ray disc drive does an excellent job with playback as well a ripping CDs. It comes with a cord for power supply by USB plug. I do recommend it highly!
