This drive was sold to me on May 2015 through Amazon the year Windows 10 was released, it should have had supported drivers.It seems that the player is not compatible to Windows 10 at all.
Samsung Se 506 Update Many ThanksWhere can I get a driver for Windows 10 and if needed a firmware update Many thanks, Alex.It is suggested that a split cable be used to facilitate simultaneous connection to two USB terminals or that a separately powered hub be used.Could this be the reason this writer is not working as it should. I had no issue with the single cable when I plugged it into my dock at my desk. Sounds like some of the newer ultrabooks just dont have enough power in their USB ports. My laptop is a fully specd machine from PC Specialist and if the writer can normally run off just one USB 3.0 port, then I would expect it to run off mine. I guess as you suggest, the only way to find out is to firstly run it off a split cable. I believe the writer is designed for USB 2.0 ports, so if Im not mistaken it should also run off USB 3.0s. Come on Samsung - do the decent thing - Im sure it cant be beyond your massive resources. I am able to play DVD discs but once a BD disc is placed in the drive it spends ages not recognising the disc and then reports the drive empty to the OS (Win 10). I have tried using the manufacturers supplied single cable and a split cable. All to no avail. I have also run scs.exe and the Win 10 troubleshooter. ![]() Oh and yes, I have tried different BD discs which I know to be working on other devices (including a built-in BD drive in one of the devices, confirming that its not the CyberLink PowerDVD software, if there was any doubt there). The conclusion I have to come to is it would appear that perhaps one of the many Win 10 OS updates may have lead to this failure and Samsung do not appear to have addressed it by releasing an updated driver. I realise we could get into a blame game situation, with Samsung blaming Microsoft and Microsoft blaming Samung. ![]() The big corporations often claim they are doing their bit to combat global warming but how well does that argument stack up when theyre selling products which will be quickly destined for the scrap heap because they cant be used, whilst being otherwise in good physical order. Both I and my son (who has the same writer and problem) tried it and it makes no difference. I reported this back to support who have now informed me that they have no other solution - no firmware or driver upgrade. It would seem we all now have a writer that will not work with Windows 10 and neither Samsung or Microsoft or their affiliates are going to do anything about it. Moderators, please take note of this wholly unacceptable situation. Im also slightly annoyed that this thread has now been tagged as solved. Ill chase up with our Head Office to see what were able to advise here. Please update this thread ASAP with the support required for this device under this operating system.
