Our take on the Ultra Slim External 4K Blu-Ray Drive - USB3.0 3D Blu-Ray Burner Writer Reader CD/DVD Player
The ARLOQ is an external tray-loading Blu-ray drive in an aluminum body that connects over USB 3.0. It reads and writes Blu-ray, DVD and CD discs, with BD-ROM reading at 6X and BD-R writing at 6X, and it claims plug-and-play operation with no driver install. It suits laptop and desktop owners who want to play or burn discs without an internal drive. Against rival slim drives it is a full writer rather than a read-only player, but it needs a direct USB port and a 4K claim depends on your software and display, not the drive alone.
