If you crossflash it to BP60NB10, you can get faster speeds (for the same price). Downgrading the firmware (it has to be a BP60NB10 to work) makes it into a "4K friendly blu-ray drive" (can read 4K Blu-rays.
You can get instructions for this at the "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2024" on the makemkv forums. Make sure you use Marty's SDF GUI (as I did).
Just bought this drive a few months ago. I also flashed it to the BP60NB10 firmware. Works fine. Not the quietest thing and it makes a weird spinning up and spinning down noise occasionally when the drive is idling with a disc installed. Should be a good option for someone looking to rip Blu-rays.
Also for anyone looking to burn your own discs, be sure you're familiar with the Blu-ray standards if you want to play on a Blu-ray player. Also it'd be in your best interest to acquire some rewritable discs since it's easy to mess up.
Watch your favorite movies and tv shows, rip them to your plex server, burn a disc with family pictures and videos, loan it to a friend along with a movie to watch.

Most people prefer usb-c nowadays but it's not a huge deal for me. The most annoying part is that this drive wants to be plugged into two usb ports. Apparently you can get away with a micro usb to a single usb-c but I haven't tried that.
Also it's worth noting that I've had the player spin up on a single usb port but I imagine there's a reason it wants two. I'll test old a single usb port and see if it work and edit with the result
Edit: I was able to playback a Blu-ray using a single usb 3.0 port. Might need two usb ports for usb 2.0

Double layer or triple layer?
You can flash the firmware to play/rip 4k Blu-rays if that's what you're asking. If you're writing to BD-XL discs I imagine you could use up to the full 100GB but if you want to author a disc, the consensus seems to be you can only use up to about 66GBs

Power from one port. Data from the other port.

I recall paying $250 for one of these external 4K burners years ago and thinking it was a great deal
