Last time it was this price was two years ago.

Some slickdealers willl argue optical drives are obsolete. Optical drives still have some advantages.

In case anyone is interested, this is a UHD friendly drive, and with a firmware downgrade it can read 4K discs.
For people like myself that are tired of paying for too many streaming services but like the convenience of opening an app to play my media, I use this drive to rip my DVDs, Blu Rays, and UHD Blu ray and store the media on a NAS to watch on JellyFin.
Adjusted for inflation, $35 in 2016 is $44 in 2024. The current price is not to far away from the all time lowest price.

That was a very good deal. I don't think the price will drop that low because optical drives are not produced in large volumes which would result in lower prices. Inflation has also driven up prices. Most people watch online streaming/digital downloads instead of dvd/bluray.

Does the bluray drive you bought in 2016 still work?

Average CCC price is $62.30

I just want to know, who is buying this in 2024, and what are you doing with it?
Not trolling, just honestly curious about physical media.
Maybe you're backing up home movies, maybe you have years of tv shows you want to store on blu-ray, I don't know.

For me, I plan to rip my blu-ray, dvd, vcd and audio cd collection. Trying to go minimalism and I don't need physical disc clutter my space.

You'll likely pay way more for blu-ray content though. I don't really see it as a replacement for me, but rather adding a high quality option of content that I really love and want to have access to. Streaming is really good quality these days, but Blu-Ray is still king for the most part.

Oh, and the 3D movies I've been trying to get more of.

Is there a way to convert this into a USB-connected drive for external use, or is it only usable as an internal drive?

How easy is it to flash the firmware for UHD/4k Blu-Ray ripping?

Any better valued blu-ray drive as in not lower price, but perhaps a little more cost gives a lot more value?
