CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive

Haven’t used it in quite a while.

I have to say this is the worst player I ever had. I believe I usually bought LG, and they’ve always worked well. Is it bad or is it the fact that it handles all 3 formats? Regular DVDs take forever to load, is that because it’s trying to recognize the format? If there is something in the player, I usually have to remove or eject it when I boot my system. Otherwise it throws out errors and takes too long to come up. This is the first Blu-ray hardware I ever bought. I never have had it play a Blu-ray. But that’s probably my fault. Because I believe I need to do some extra steps in Linux. MakeMKV?

I probably haven’t used it in over a year, but I wanted to rip one of my DVDs. It wasn’t hooked up. Did finally get it to read a regular DVD. But I had to replace the old red SATA cable, with the blue clip-on cable.
