USB-C Blu-ray Player for Laptops
This external slot-in drive reads Blu-ray and HD DVD discs and writes DVDs and CDs through a USB-C connection. It is aimed at MacBook, ultrabook and laptop owners whose machines lack an internal optical drive. The included USB-C-to-USB-A adapter lets it work with older USB ports as well.
Capacity and Burning Limits
The drive supports BD-ROM media and writes to 8.5 GB dual-layer DVDs, 4.7 GB single-layer DVDs and 700 MB CDs. Write speed reaches 8X (10.8 MB/sec) for DVDs and read speed reaches 24X (3.6 MB/sec) for CDs. It does not write Blu-ray discs and cannot read discs larger than 128 GB.
Thermals, Noise and Power
The slim .7-inch aluminium enclosure weighs 11.95 ounces and draws power directly from the host port, so no external adapter is needed. In normal use the Panasonic UJ-120 mechanism runs quietly with only a faint seek noise. Heat stays low enough that the chassis remains comfortable to touch during extended read or write sessions.

Questions about this item
Will this drive work with my older MacBook that only has USB-A ports?
Yes, a USB-C female to USB-A male converter is included so you can connect the drive to legacy USB-A ports on older MacBooks or Windows laptops.
How can I confirm the Panasonic UJ-120 mechanism is reading discs at the rated 24× CD speed?
Insert a CD and check the transfer rate in your operating system’s drive properties or a disc-info utility; it should report up to 3.6 MB/sec for CD reads.
Does the package include any blank media or only the drive and adapter?
The box contains the slot-in Blu-ray drive and the USB-C to USB-A converter; blank BD, DVD or CD media must be purchased separately.
