I'm trying to rip all my Blu Rays, DVD's, and CD's so that I can back them up on an external hard drive. Will this work for that?

The player will read and play blurays, cds and DVDs so if you have the right software you should be able to do it. I'm not sure whether it's legal to do. You bought the movies or CDs or whatever, but I don't know how far your rights go when copying or transferring. That you should research!

I have a WD external hard drive that I use to play movies/music on my sony blu-ray player.

I don't think it will work. DVDs have formated files written to them not raw video like this delivers. Sorry

I cant confirm, as I havent tried to burn a Blu Ray disk. But I would be surprised if it required additional software to burn one. Then again, I was surprised to find it didnt come with Microsoft Office. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

Yes it will work. If using an external hard drive, you may have to format to enfat

Hi, no, it will not copy these type of discs you are mentioning as it will have a copy protection added on the disc.

That's what I use it for. As long as the HD isn't damaged and the files aren't corrupted it should work.

I've used it to play roughly 30-45 blue ray movies. It handled them all just fine. Yes it also reads DVD's and CD's.

Sure. You remove the SD card, and copy the movies on CD, DVD, other Card, etc. I backup on the shared network attached drive.

It should. The type of recovery media you burn generally doesn't matter, so long as it has sufficient space and doesn't require any special formatting. BR discs are just like DVDs in the way the system handles them.

yes you can. i used this drive to download all my pc games on cd and dvd discs to my pc.

Darrell. That I know of, it doesn't function as a recorder. Play back only. Great multiregion playback of dvds and blus.

I have systems with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I haven't tested all aspects with both, but can attest it operated immediately when I plugged it into a Win 8.1 laptop. It should both play back and burn audio discs, DVDs, and will read software programs recorded on optical discs. What it will NOT do is handle Blu-ray formats.

As far as I have found, yes, it will copy any CD or DVD. It is important to have quality discs, but that should be a given.

Writes all media in CD, DVD and Blu-Ray. Does the M-DISC long life media which is why I bought it for secure backups

Im not sure if "combo drive" means backwords compatible to cd-roms and dvds but if it does then yes it should.

Yes, but only if you want to back up to writable DVD or CD media. Few people do that any more, because backup to external hard disks is faster and more easily accessible.
