Review: Make a difference - Arrived before expected, was securely wrapped and performs better than expected. Worth the money, especially when compared to cheaper models. Review: MT1959 cipset so after the 12 months the microcode can be upgraded for libre enabled - It is just perfect. No ejection or loading button just from software. Is made with MT1959 cipset. Very happy. I am looking for this product for few years but only now I really enjoy. I hope it will work for few years. ## Features - M-disc support - Colour: colourful - Country of origin: china - The most stable storage solution. Power2 go 8.

Worth the money, especially when compared to cheaper models. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MT1959 cipset so after the 12 months the microcode can be upgraded for libre enabled *by A***R on 6 June 2026* It is just perfect. No ejection or loading button just from software. Is made with MT1959 cipset. Very happy. I am looking for this product for few years but only now I really enjoy. I hope it will work for few years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with Mac, but bundled software for PC only. *by U***C on 18 August 2023* The quality of this drive is solid with a robust albeit plastic casing and an aesthetically striking design. Burning seems reliable and quick, I haven't tested on PC but performance on Mac systems with appropriate software (See paragraph below for details) is quick and reliable. Setup of the drive itself was easy, although if you have a Mac there is one major caveat: The bundled software is for PC only. so if you need authoring software then you will need to find a solution that works for you, which if you have an M1 or M2 Mac could prove a problem as Roxio Toast, the former market leader in burning software for Mac computers has a somewhat spotty reliability record on these newer machines. This is not a reflection on the drive, which remains a solid piece of kit, but more indicative of the less than pro-active attitude many software companies have towards keeping ahead of the curve regarding software production for the Mac platform. These software niggles are in no way the fault of Asus, nor are they exclusive to this particular drive, just something to bear in mind if you have a newer M1 or M2 Mac. ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS BW-16D1X-U external 16X Blu-ray writer, USB 3.0, Mac Compatible, M-DISC support, Disc Encryption, Unlimited Webstorage(12 months), NERO Backitup, E-Media - Verbatim 43823 25GB 4x M-Disc BD-R - 5 Pack Jewel Case - Verbatim 43811 25GB 6x BD-R SL Datalife Inkjet Printable - 25 Pack Spindle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/376898377-bw-16d1x-u-external-16x-blu-ray-writer-usb-3](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/376898377-bw-16d1x-u-external-16x-blu-ray-writer-usb-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
