Over these 2 months, I have encountered the same disconnection or non-recognition problems reported in some reviews ...

Perfect for my archiving needs. Tested with DVD-Rs and BR-Rs on a laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 using K3b. I'm completely satisfied.
Perfect, compliant and works perfectly in playback.
Not yet tested the burning.
We'll see in time.
I have not yet had time to burn anything. The product is as I expected, but the USB cable
is really too short. I'm very pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone.
No problem of burning on Windows 10 with Nero Express or Nero Vision. On the other hand on Mackbook Pro 2020 chip M1 the burning was very complicated, (Final Cut Pro, Compressor or Adobe Premiere), but in fine I found where the bugs came from.
On Macbook Pro 2020 which has no classic USB plug, with the supplied USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable, the ability to burn a 25GB or 50GB BD-R, (not sure if the burner is compatible with the 100GB BR XL), is almost impossible, so I had a bright idea (lol), I have an adapter 7.1 USB 3.2 - Thunderbolt adapter, I took the USB-double USB cable supplied with the burner, and there Oh miracle the burning was done without problem, I just have to test with BD MDisc and it will be perfect for my archives.
