Review: Works in a desktop PC, LibreDrive friendly, maybe the last of them - Using a "slimline SATA to normal SATA adapter" (B0C9T78N3V) I was able to connect this "laptop" drive to my desktop PC SATA. It works perfectly. My drive came with firmware 1.05. I was able to backup my 3D Blu Rays using MAKEMKV without updating the firmware. The drive is LibreDrive capable and I've done this. These laptop drives are pretty feeble when it comes to ejecting the disk, compared to a "proper" 5.25" drive. You press "eject" and it pops out an inch or two, not the nice "all the way out, all the way in" mechanics of a desktop drive. However, desktop (5.25") optical drives are extremely rare now that production of them is winding down (or ceased). Grab this slim BU40N while you can. It's totally MAKEMKV and SDF Flasher compatible. It can read DVD/Blu Ray (including 3D) and UHD (once the firmware is correct). I have quite a few 3D Blu Ray disks (about £400 worth). I have a Panasonic "home theatre" 3D Blu Ray player (about £600). I had a 3D OLED TV which died (£2000). They don't make 3D TVs anymore. So I'm left with £1000 of "waste". To watch my legit 3D movies I've had to: 1. Buy a Blu Ray reader for my PC (I don't burn copies - my intentions are honest) 2. Use MAKEMKV to create a file on my PC 3. Buy the Sony PSVR2 headset (I have a PS5 anyway) + PC adapter 4. Install Steam + SteamVR + Sony PSVR2 App 5. Install PotPlayer (this is excellent) 6. Install Steam "BigScreen BETA" 7. Run PotPlayer to play my 3D mkv file in full screen SBS mode 8. Run BigScreen and tell it to "SBS" (side by side) into my PSVR2 headset 9. Swear a lot trying to get all of the above working "seamlessly" It works. It's not ideal. Without this BU40N it would be impossible and that £1000 would become "consumer waste". I worked dang hard for that money. It's not going without a fight!
Review: Great product - Excellent product, thin, light, fast, reads/write everything. Probably a bit noisy but considering dimensions it's expected. I use this to write new disks but also to validate used 4K UHD blu rays without the need to watch them on TV (I use ImgBurn to validate). It's quicker in case you buy many used movies and can't watch all of them in a short amount of time :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how to connect on a slim laptop without an internal dvd slot, is there an adapter for usb?**
A: I would suggest getting an enclosure

**Q: Does this drive come with the small screws which are required to mount it?**
A: No. But screws are on mount point inside in laptop (Asus).

**Q: I have this drive and need to make external, I found a sata to usb 3.0 to connect the drive and pc, but how can I power the drive? Can't find anything**
A: the sata connection is different to notmal hard drives or SSD drives, It is smaller. If you do have a sata to USB connector specifically for this connector then yes the power should work. But not 100%. I would suggest considering getting an external enclosure

**Q: would this fit in an lenovo z50 - 75**
A: If the original in the Lenovo is slimline (9.5 mm) then yes it will.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great UHD Blu-ray slimline device
*by G***S on 9 December 2025*

Brilliant device capable or reading UHD Blu-ray. Dropped a star as the cover is narrower than normal slimline dvds and can get jammed in my external enclosure. Seems compatible with a large range of films both on dvd, Blu-ray and uhd Blu-ray
