ASUS BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS 12X Blu-ray Internal Burner Drive with Disc Encryption - Black - Retail Box

My experience with this drive has been very good. It ejects the tray very fast. Plays and burns blu-rays well (I used Quantum). I personally prefer not to burn at maximum speed. However, both programs I used (Ashampoo Burning studio, and Power2go that came with the drive) did not allow me to change the speed. Procedure for the rebate is pretty standard. People who complain about it should keep in mind that rebates has never been an easy source of getting money. It is a "game" and you have to play to get your 20 bucks:-)

Have used most brands of DVD writer drives in the market and only recently, I tried an ASUS drive which I fixed up for a friend and was quite surprised at the overall quality so I bought one for myself here. The drive felt well-built and not as noisy compared to the drives I used previously, even when at top spinning / reading speed. The drive also come with a power management software that can turn the drive off when not in use and I didn't have any problem with it at all when I threw the many different disc formats so far. Would recommend to DIY builders.
