What's Different Between These 2 BD Drives?

cellod · May 16, 2013

I am looking at two (seemingly) identical drives, but they have different prices, and different reviews. I'm pretty sure they're the same, but I wanted your guys' opinions first.

Drive #1

Drive #2

Also, what software will I need to playback BD/DVD/CD's? Or will it play DVDs and CD's without additional software/drivers? I am hoping to make this my only optical drive.

They are the same. The model number is the same on both. The difference is one is bulk the other isn't. With bulk, you don't get the retail box or software that comes with it. Supposedly the retail version is quieter.

Drive #2 is mine, it rocks & no software is needed. Plug & play.

The #1 link says its a wh14ns40 but the pic they show is not that drive. I would be wary of that.

#2 is the correct pic and model#

NEWEGG has it for $60 after $10 off promo code EMCXRWS66

I have one of these too and have not had any issues.

What did you have to install to get video playback?

barto · May 16, 2013

VLC. Free and plays pretty much every format.
