9.5mm Ultra Slim SATA Blu-ray / DVD Writer For GNU / Linux (TPE-BLUDVSATA95)
Careful what you buy- Not all Blu-ray drives are the same! Many can't burn Blu-ray discs and others that can have sketchy support for playing Blu-ray media, but not our 9.5mm Ultra Slim SATA Blu-ray / DVD Writer. Our 9.5mm Blu-ray Writer can both play Blu-ray media and features support for burning Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs.

If you are looking for a solid optical drive look no further as this drive is one of the best. The drive works great for anyone looking to add an inexpensive easy-to-use backup solution to their computer or for playing Blu-ray media via third party firmwares and software.

For those interested in Blu-ray for entertainment our Blu-ray writer also supports flashing of third party firmwares. This can enable playback and ripping of most Blu-ray media on the market today. The flashing of third party firmware is both possible and easier than ever thanks to the drive shipping with unencrypted stock firmware.

Looking for a low cost backup solution? With Blu-ray write speeds of up to 6x and discs capable of storing 100GB it's hard to go wrong. Discs are available in 25GB, 50GB, and 100GB capacities. The drive is also compatible with many popular burning applications for GNU / Linux such as K3B and media / video players such as VLC.
