Now you know how noob I am.

A question, with this model, once you placed in a BD disc, how long does it takes to show the content on the screen ?

Got a unit from him last night.. Thanks a lot. Will provide feedback once I stall it up soon.

Finally set up the cpu and test ran the bluray disc, it works perfectly.

I noticed that when I try to open the drive when it is in vertical orientation, the door may not open. I need to use a pin to open it up.

It does not happen when the drive is placed in horizontal position though. Not sure if other owner has similar problem. Nonetheless the disc can be read well.

Still haven't tried to burn any bluray disc yet.

Haha.. met up with razzment and archangel also. Thanks for the swap for troublefree drive. Managed to watch another bluray last night, and tested the drive door unit.

The new unit has powerful quick motor door function. So problem solved.

Thanks for quick and prompt exchange.

hepm93, I am using one unit from this seller also, now running a cpu installing window XP 32 bits from day one. No problem so far.

I am using BH30N. But not sure where to find the firmware version

This is the usual sata drive connection, self detection without needing any firmware installation at all.

It can only read Bluray movie after installing windvd version 10 or powerdvd version 9. Other than that there is no other software necessary to read anything else.

There is no firmware in the first place. The drive was automatically detected, and works well upon installation.

So I guess its only the microsoft driver that will be updated from time to time.

So far I have no problem using the drive till now. But I admit I don't do much burning.

Ic. I opt for the burner which may be useful in due course. More for future proof lah, but shall wait for the disc price to drop further.
