1. slim and light, good for traveling.
2. perfectly works on my MacBook Air mid 2011 (The side information for macuser: via Finder can Blurays burn, but read / create Blurayfilme, this is only possible with additional programs such RoxioToast)
3. Only software for Windows here
4. no Netztteil necessary for it is advised that you plug the drive with two USB cables. I myself operate the unit but only with a USB cable. When I was told me in this regard at Samsung directly informed, "if the disc begins to rotate, and a cable is sufficient."
5. With an alternate USB cable is not enough power was transferred, but the included Y-cable also supplies with only one inserted USB cable enough power.
Previously read CDs and DVDs 6. Test manner and fired a Bluray, everything went smoothly.
For "AV connectivity":
by pressing a button, the file system of the optical disc is converted to FAT32, this takes about 30 seconds per gigabyte and allows you get displayed the contents of the disc like formatted with a FAT32 USB flash drive (or USB HDD) to the target device.
AV connectivity does not mean that you put a purchased Blurayfilm into the burner and can look at it via a USB connection on your TV.
AV connectivity allows only that one - simply put and ungeau - can convert the drive in a non-writable USB flash drive.
hope with the few information to be able to help a little, extensive testing I have not done. I'll keep the device, makes a good impression.
I remain four and not five stars, as many customers under AV connectivity probably imagine something else.
Greetings
