It does the job but I bet I could find cheaper

No issues with this drive. I am 4-starring it because of value. I am pretty sure if I worked harder I could have found a cheaper drive for playing blu-ray discs off of my laptop.

Used to upgrade my laptop from the HDD it originally had. HUGE improvement - boot times are now in the 10-13 second range and no 5 minute HD thrash period as all the stupid little start-on-bootup programs are no longer fighting over access to a mechanical hard drive.

I work at an institution that is VERY slow to upgrade hardware so this does a good job letting me attach to old style video connections for things such as projectors.

Nothing really good or bad about it. I bought it so I could play Blue Ray movies on my laptop and it does that, although I do need to use software such as AnyDVD to deal with getting many disks to play. Not exactly a bargain price though.

Lack of open usage scenarios is only issue
on August 25, 2017
Posted by: yetanothergeek
from Rhode Island
Verified Purchase:Yes
It works great, I love having it stream from my google play music account, but the lack of an open system means you only have access to Sonos' partners. For example you cannot play books from Audible.com. For that matter if you are going to sell a $200 wireless speaker why not make it $220 and add the ability to use it as a dumb bluetooth device when there is no other option to connect something I want to listen to?

I run my Mac Mini with a tv as a monitor. Anything I watch, such as netflix, CBS etc. is run from the internet to Mac Mini to TV Monitor. Will I be able to run the Sonos 1 this way thru the wifi?

This is the one weakness of the system. I don't know about your specific list of items but Sonos does not play nice with everyone. For example for YEARS people have been asking them to add audible.com so you can listen to audiobooks but there is no way to do this. Best bet for specific services would be to contact the manufacturer. Especially as there is no bluetooth or ever audio in jack on the device to use for a workaround.
