Can I burn discs, or is it read-only?

It writes as well as reads. It burns BD-R at 6X, BD-R DL at 4X, DVD±R at 8X and CD-R at 16X, and reads BD-ROM at 6X and CD-ROM at 24X.

Will it work with a USB hub?

It is not recommended. The maker says to connect it to a direct USB port on the computer; through a hub or extension cable the drive may not be recognized or may fail to read discs.

Does it work with a tablet?

No. Tablets are not supported because of low voltage, and desktop users should plug into a port on the motherboard rather than a front-panel extension.

What discs can it read?

CD formats including CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW; DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and DVD-RAM; and Blu-ray BD-ROM, BD-R and BD-RE, including dual-layer discs.

The Blu-ray drive, a USB cable and a manual. No playback software or power adapter is included.

Our take on the Ultra Slim External 4K Blu-Ray Drive

The Lumeo is a portable tray-loading Blu-ray reader and CD/DVD writer in an aluminum body, connected over USB 3.0 with plug-and-play setup and no drivers. It reads Blu-ray at 6X and writes BD-R at 6X, while DVD and CD burning run at 8X and 16X. It suits laptop and desktop owners who still have disc libraries or need to archive files to disc. Against rival slim drives it adds Blu-ray writing rather than read-only playback, but it needs third-party Blu-ray player software and does not work reliably through USB hubs or on tablets.

About the Ultra Slim External 4K Blu-Ray Drive

This external slim Blu-ray drive reads and burns CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It has an aluminum body and a tray-loading mechanism. It connects over USB 3.0.

It supports plug and play, so no additional software drivers are needed. You can watch DVDs and create standard CDs on laptops and desktops. Playing Blu-ray discs requires player software that supports the Blu-ray format, such as PowerDVD.

Connect the drive directly to a USB port on the computer. A USB hub or extension may keep the drive or disc from being recognized. On a desktop, use a USB port on the motherboard. The drive is not supported on tablets because some have low voltage.
