Hi
Does anyone know if there is a program that can read out the operating hours and/or burn counts of a bluray drive?
I think I read it somewhere here, but I can't find the topic anymore.
Thanks for any hint.

I've no expierience in this case, but supposedly CrystalDiskInfo is able to get different datas from optical drives too.
Google says:
"Although mainly intended for hard drives, CrystalDiskInfo can also display information about optical drives, such as the number of read operations and other SMART values."
Just try it.
