anyone tried the Amazon Basics External Ultra HD Blu-ray 6X burner?
Found this $99 Amazon Basics 4K blu-ray drive in my new drive search, but went with a known brand since few reviews and no MakeMKV compatibility info here.
Just curious has anyone tried it?
$99 US, slim tray loading, Micro USB, nice looking dark brushed silver on black, comes with ye olde PowerDVD / Cyberlink suite. Model number BP62N.

Amazon does not manufacture drives, so you need to know who makes it. One thing to consider is that a third-party assembler can market multiple (basic) drives in the same packaging, so you might get different manufacturers at different times.

Interesting, if it is an LG BP60NB10 drive inside, doing a little searching it sounds like that would be a good price, it would be one of the fastest slim drives, but probably would need to have its firmware flashed to downgrade to be LibreDrive compatible, is that about right?

Yeah, I'd say so as the model says it is a BP62N. It looks exactly like a BP60NB10 (NB12).
Cheers

They apparently to now be out of stock. However I bought one the other day and successfully flashed it after looking at this forum.
Re: anyone tried the Amazon Basics External Ultra HD Blu-ray 6X burner?
I bought one here not too long ago. The one I bought is Mini-USB on one end, and two USB-A on the other end. Most older external optical drives are Mini-USB. But this Amazon model claims to be Micro-USB, I'm not sure about that one.TheMKVMaker wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 2:30 pmman where can I get one of those USB C cables that has two USBs on the other end for more power?
But you asked about USB-C, actual USB-C should be able to provide enough power over a single cable. The Pioneer USB-C drive I have works great with a Mac over one USB-C cable.
On that note, another great cable I got from that same vendor, is a Mini-USB to USB-C cable for use with an older OWC external blu-ray enclosure. I was hoping that one USB-C port would be able to supply enough power for the drive with a single cable, and it does!
