If you have a Blu-ray burner....I need two minutes of your time

Hi. Yeah, I just need the model name. Manufacturer if you can get it.

This is what I need:



Go to My Computer, right-click drive and go to Properties. Then the hardware tab and it's the thing that ISN'T your hard drive. Or Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives.

That'd be great, thanks!

P.S. If anyone wants to part with theirs for some cash and a Blu-ray reader.....LOL.

 

see my sig

 

I dont have this drive but I am interested if your selling your blue ray drive reader? How much do you want ? Are you in the uk ?

 

Hmm....I don't think the SXPS 16 has the UJ-225 because it's ATA and the SXPS has SATA optical drive connectors.

Could it be the UJ-235? It's the SATA version of it.....

@Mark

Well, I'd like to get my hands on a burner before I want to sell the reader, but, yeah, I'd be open to selling it to you.

I got mine on Tuesday it some Mutsuzaka something like that name.

 

Huh...OK. If you wouldn't mind getting the full name, if possible?

I think I read somewhere that the SXPS burner only does 2X burning, while the Panasonic UJ-235 does 4X.

Mine came with the MATA BD-RE UJ235A

and i ordered a 4x BluRay burner... is that model number correct then?

 

That's it!! I left myu machine at home today. I'll let you know exactly which one, but Mata sounds right.

 

This is the one in my SXPS 1640:

 

Sweetness!

Thanks, SxualVnilla + ///OSS + ennovasnap.

a little off topic question guys, hope you dont mind but i currently have the DVD/CD drive in my m1530 and would like to modify it to the panisonic uj-225 or the MATA BD-RE UJ235A (4x).

1. what interface are these two BD drives?? IDE, EIDE, SATA, PATA??
2. what interface is the standard DVD/CD (i have not opened my m1530 yet to check.. soon)
3. is this a plug and play modification? if not, what else needs to be done?


thanks..

 

They're both made by Panasonic, BTW.

1. UJ-225B is IDE/DMA66/ATAPI (all same thing here). UJ-235A is SATA (mobile version).

2. Can be either...google the model name of your current DVD/CD and whatever interface that is.

3. Basically. Software to burn with?

 

thanks i just wanted a definitive answer before opening up the m1530. so seems like this has been done before with lots of sucess?

 

Sorry to bump this old thread; I just found this reply.

I actually don't know of anyone who has done this. Download this, extract, and double-click the *.htm file called "optical drive".

Perfect! Thanks much. Couldn't find it in a search. Yeah 40 seconds is long but browsing like I did for much longer than that and coming up empty is worse.

 

just to update, i installed the UJ-225 and it works like a charm. only problem (not expected) is my media direct no longer supports the new drive. it no longer boots up in that partion. but i guess it does not really matter much to me as i didnt have the BD software anyways in media direct. i ended up downloading the trial version of powerDVD 9

just curious, why media direct would complain that i have a BD drive?
