Optical discs are becoming the most reliable media for archiving your data. Unfortunately, many notebook vendors are opting to exclude optical drives in favor of slimmer designs. Verbatim offers a solution with the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray writer. Use it to create backups of important files you don't want to lose, such as family pictures, videos, and accounting documents.

Watch your 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs on this external Blu-ray player. It is barely larger than a Blu-ray disc itself and is USB powered, requiring no additional power adapter, making it easy to carry with you on your travels.

The bundled award-winning Nero Burn and Archive software includes numerous special features such as DiscSpan, MediaHome, and SecureDisc Technology to help you organize, burn, and archive your important files. Various streaming options, including the Nero Streaming Player App, allow you to display your movies, photos, slideshows, and other media on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. You can even add password protection for added security and an electronic signature to indicate copyright ownership.

Burn a standard DVD at 8x speeds, a single layer and double layer Blu-ray disc at 6x, and a BDXL disc at 4x. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray writer supports buffer underrun protection, preventing issues during the recording process.

The Blu-ray writer is designed to save energy, supporting Zero Power ODD (Optical Disc Drive), which reduces the power consumption of the optical drive to zero in the operating system when the drive is not in use.

Note: The software player for playing DVD/Blu-ray movies is not included.
