Is this tray loading? Is it the same as this one? DIGISTOR External Blu-ray Burner USB 2.0 with Multimedia & Archive Suites (Tray Load)

Hi, yes this drive is tray loading and is the same drive found in the Multimedia & Archive Suite product.Thank you everyone for your detailed responses!

Hello,I remember choosing between the two as well. What I found out is it was the same (tray load). Its lower price is due to the fact that it doesn't come with the Multimedia Suite, which I didn't want anyway.

The drive itself is exactly the same (tray loading). The difference is the included software bundle.

Yes, it is tray loading and it opens and closes similar to a laptop disc drive. It unlocks and you pull out the tray, insert disc and push it shut to lock. Pretty simple...

Has anyone returned this and then purchased a BETTER drive that is fully functional in playing DVDs? Would appreciate advice.

There is no built-in memory or buffer, according to the specs: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/optical-drives/mediastation/mediastation-16x-external-bdxl-blu-ray-burner

Hi Harvo, The DIGISTOR drive doesn't come with software for Mac that allows regular disc file burning. The Mac software that it comes with is called REWIND and it is built for creating a personal archive of files you want to archive to Blu-ray disc. If you'd like to burn regular Blu-ray disc files to disc, you will need additional software like Toast, which is not included in the package.Thanks,The DIGISTOR Support Teamwww.digistor.com/support

No, I wish. It doesn't even have a front end menu to let you know what disks are in which tray. All and all its still a great player. I still love mine.

I haven't tried it with a blu-ray burner but I suspect it will work fine. I have 2 with ASUS CD/DVD burners in them. USB 2.0 is slow and I plan to use an eSATA external case for blu-ray. This is probably a good choice if you're on a budget.

I got the Toshiba-branded multidrive from a Radio-shack, and it works, but I'm sure any external burner will do. The only thing to remember is that Windows Explorer won't list the drive unless you stick some media in - even a blank disc.

It does. I am having trouble when I fully load it. My external Blu-ray drive drops out

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

Dear E. Hamilton, good morning. I confess you this All-in-one was a big disappointment for me, because I expected a quick and efficient machine and it wasn't what I found. It does not read blu-ray and the dvd/ cd burner stopped working since the beginnig. I do not recommend it for you. Best regards, Edney

their website tigerdirect.com says "Optical Drive Blu-Ray Player", no mentioning of BD-RW or Blue Ray Burner. This is another BS from Asus actually, they should list each custom spec on their website. But they just put generic model information only. Same issue with Wireless ac, some has it some don't and can't be sure.

running ta similar system, are you having issues with movies or discs in general. Mine seems to be ok in general but I do have pixilation on some blu-ray movies. Pretty sure it's software though. sorry I couldn't be more help

Yes there is! It is not the clunky tray type either. There is a slit on the right hand side where the discs can slip in and out. This is what it is: Optical Drive: 8X Slot Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
