Only with playback software that supports 4K Blu-ray and a compatible GPU, display and HDCP chain. The drive reads the disc, but the software side is on you.

What is included in the box?

The drive and its USB cables. Playback and burning software are generally not included, so check before buying.

Can it burn Blu-ray discs?

The listed write capability is DVD writable. Treat Blu-ray as read-only on this model unless the seller states otherwise.

Our take on the 7 in 1 BD Burner External Drive 4K Blu-ray Burner USB 3.0 Type-C

This is an external optical drive that reads Blu-ray discs, including 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, and burns DVDs and CDs over USB 3.0 or USB-C. The 7-in-1 label covers the usual optical formats plus the two cable types, not extra hardware. It suits people with a laptop that has no disc drive and a shelf of Blu-ray movies or old DVD backups. Buyers should know that reading 4K Blu-ray on a computer needs playback software and a compatible GPU and display chain; the drive alone does not unlock it. Against slim name-brand portable drives, it is cheaper-feeling and less consistent, and its ratings sit in the middle.
