I got one last week and was wondering how many people knew of this. I installed it and it runs perfect, no problems so far out of the 10 movies I own. Also make sure you get a SATA power adapter or plug if your machine only uses IDE power, the drive doesn't come with that. Its a very cheap way to get into blu-ray but make sure you've got the rig to use this. And also make sure you've got another drive installed that can do your dvd/cd burning since this one doesn't burn a thing. My machine I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD dual-core 3800, 3.5 gb RAM, Geforce 8600 GTS graphic card.
