Install a Blu-ray drive in a desktop computer

Blu-ray is the successor to DVD, offering more storage space and better-quality videos. Playing high-definition video is a demanding task, so we recommend downloading the Cyberlink Blu-ray Disc Advisor. This utility will test the computer to see if it can play high-definition movies. Blu-ray can either connect with a serial ATA (Sata) cable or the older parallel ATA (Pata) connection. This video uses the Sata connection, which is faster and easier to fit. You will also need a screwdriver.
