Windows 10 doesn't seem to detect my Asus BW-16D1HT drive
Greetings,
I'm trying to use a Asus BW-16D1HT optical disc drive with my Windows 10 laptop, by connecting it through an Unitek Y-1099-EU USB-to-SATA adapter. However, the drive keeps failing to appear in the File Explorer. In the Device Manager, it seems to appear as an "unknown USB device".
It can be opened and closed, though even inserting a Blu-Ray in it doesn't change anything.
Through Windows Update, I updated the ASUStek driver (not the firmware) to the latest version - to no avail.
Could I have missed something to make it work?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure it's your optical drive showing as such, and not the adapter itself that maybe isn't properly installed?Franchiver wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:02 pmIn the Device Manager, it seems to appear as an "unknown USB device".

Not 100% positive, I'm afraid. By "properly installed", do you mean "properly plugged"? Or is there something I should have installed along with it?ArArdin wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 10:28 amAre you sure it's your optical drive showing as such, and not the adapter itself that maybe isn't properly installed?Franchiver wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:02 pmIn the Device Manager, it seems to appear as an "unknown USB device".

I don't believe that model adapter works with optical drives anymore.Franchiver wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 9:02 pmGreetings,

It no longer mentions optical drives in the product description.

Re: Windows 10 doesn't seem to detect my Asus BW-16D1HT drive
Thank you all. That's bad news indeed. I guess I should have read those specs from the manufacturer's website instead of the obviously misleading Amazon pageBillycar11 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 14, 2022 5:15 amok they are removed sorry if thats the reason you bought it
So, should I replace the adapter or the optical drive? Which models should I choose?

Thank you all again. My new Alxum AX-SC021NEW seems to do the trick. Now, I guess I'm supposed to find how to flash it...
