Following positive customer recessions this burner bought as WHD and put into operation.
The design of the burner is quite OK, but ingenious cable management. The Y-cable for data and power supply can be fully accommodate the housing. The journey back in other manufacturers gut.
The first task I have 10 new MP3 CDs (CD-RW Verbatim were already described) burned for the car radio. Surprised me that the verification process is equally bound to 100%, but the first two CDs were readable.
The first 5 I had burned with 10x, the remaining with "MAX". The latter I could not read afterwards, strangely after I had again gebrant over it already. No idea why.
The next task: backup photos to BD-R. Have a system sold spindle Verbatim 25GB.
The drive did indeed sound and has each mail flashed for about 1 minute, but after that requires the software to a blank disc.
Experiment with several blanks brought no change, as well as other burning programs. On another Notebook the same.
Last me remembered it to try selling BD movies. 3Stk were not detected, always the same result: flashing 1 minute and detected nothing. BD drives have 2 laser, a red for CD and DVD, as well as just the blue for BD, the latter is likely to be broken at the device.
Therefore, packed and sent back to Amazon, unfortunately.
The product photos judging by Buffalo seems different drives to obstruct that showed me the Google Image Search. Here on Amazon can be seen on the front panel only the BD logo. That I had was ... printed with several other logos, CD / DVD and the aperture also saw slightly different.
I have now ordered a LG BP40NB30 me, hope that works better.
Bin in researching what for now is really usable yet encountered a previously unknown to me feature: compatibility with M-Disc. These are blanks with inorganic instead of organic color layer to keep supposedly 1,000 years. I will not live to see it, but for more than 10 years, the usual blanks, which was supposedly checked with extreme climate testing. There are BD and DVD media it.
To describe it takes a compatible burner, which has a larger cache laser power. The LG is one of the few of both media can, an ASUS came shortlisted eg only M BD discs. The Buffalo can none of them, therefore opting for the LG.
