Using MakeMKV, it took 74 minutes to copy the whole thing, which is about the same performance as most portable Blu-ray burners we’ve tested.
We tested the Sea Tech’s read speed by ripping a copy of Die Hard, a 37GB Blu-ray file.
Lifewire / Scott Gercken Performance: Inconsistent performance This happened more than once during testing.

After hitting the eject button on the drive and in software to no effect, we finally had to pull out the USB cord and plug it back in to get the drive to spit out the disc. We encountered some issues trying to get the Sea Tech to eject a disc. It also works with the broad range of Blu-ray, DVD, and CD writable formats, except for Ultra HD Blu-rays. The drive is plug and play with both MacOS and Windows operating systems, so it works with both, right out of the box. The drive does work without that second USB-A though.Ĭompatibility: Works with all systems and formats except ultra HD The second USB-A connector is on a 16” cord, which was just long enough to plug into both sides of our MacBook Pro, but we did have to run the cord over the keyboard to make it work. The included USB cord splits into a double USB-A.īoth MacOS and Windows support Blu-ray drives like this, so the setup process for the Sea Tech drive was as simple as plugging it into our computer. The underside is made of the same brushed aluminum with four rubbery, black feet to keep it from sliding around. The drive itself is gorgeous brushed aluminum with rounded sides which are especially striking compared to the brutally rectangular drives we’re used to seeing.
At first, we thought they sent the wrong drive, but when we checked the bar code it read “Sea Tech Aluminum External USB Blu-ray Writer Super Drive.” Then we opened up the box, and the quick start guide had the contact information for Seatech, Inc., so it seems the drive is manufactured by Archgon and sold by Sea Tech. The brand name is Archgon, and the model is Stream USB 3.0 Blu-ray drive. The drive doesn’t come in a box marked Sea tech. Lifewire / Scott Gercken Design: Beautiful brushed aluminum Robert did send a spec sheet for an older model of the same drive, but it doesn’t have the same inner workings. As of the time of this writing, we still haven’t heard back from them. He offered to contact the engineers over in Taiwan. We asked him if there was any documentation, and he said that there wasn’t anything written down. That means you can get one-on-one service, but it doesn’t inspire confidence that there’s are professionals backing the business. The customer service email? Also a personal email on. The phone number doesn’t go to the customer service department of Sea Tech, but instead to a guy named Robert. After an hour of using our best Google-ninja skills, we gave up and called Sea Tech’s number on the quick start guide.
