Pioneer BDR-XD07B - 6x Slim Portable USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD Burner - Supports BDXL & M-Disc Format - USB Bus Powered, Cyberlink Software Included

I have not used the blue-ray (waiting for the disks to be delivered), but it worked well with both single layer and dual layer DVDs. The playback of DVDs was also fine. We do have a large screen TV (65 inches), but only an inexpensive sound bar so have no way to test the audio properties, but the video portion was perfect. I di some video editing - so i did have full copies of Cyberlink software. The crippled versions that was included with the player is OK, but just a tease to upgraded to the full version. I have had Pioneer audio equipment since my college year (many years ago) and it was nice to see that their quality has not diminished over the years

Excellent quality and no fuss set up make this an exceptional accessory to both my laptops as well as desktop system. The hard shell travel case is a nice touch for travel.

The flip-top burner is top notch & portability is perfect with the right case. I was in a rush and preferred one with the case included. My mistake, but I should have done a little more research. As a note for any potential buyers, the bundled case is way too big for the drive and takes up too much extra space. It could actually fit 2 burners plus 4 or 5 extra 1-3 ft cables easy. If you dont need that much capacity or the bundled Cyberlink Media Suite software key, save the extra $20+ and buy the drive by itself.

Only feature I dont like is you can only change its region 5 times. But at this price Ill buy a couple and leave them set to whatever. It does need to be on a flat unmoving surface. Fires up and plays great! Works with laptop or TV.

The drive itself is great. However, it was a real pain to have to go to the manufacturers website, create an account, find the right software, download it (1.6GB worth), and finally to install it before I could use the drive.

I bought this because I needed a drive that I could use to rip my movies from DVD and Blu-Ray on my newer computers that dont have internal drives. I was told that it being a USB 3 device would make it faster than the drives in my 8 year old Dell. Compared to the internal drives on my old desktop, this thing is noisy and slow. Maybe I should have tried the bundled software, but Im more comfortable with Make MKV and Handbrake. I fee like I spent too much money for this thing, and if I hadnt needed it when I bought it, I probably would have returned it. So yeah, its OK, and it does what it says on the tin...but Im not telling you to buy it.

Nice portable Blu Ray player for a reasonable price. Met all my expectations. If you need a small, light weight, decent Blu Ray player you cant go wrong here. The carry case is plus.

This BD/DVD/CD drive will read data discs right out of the box, and it will play audio CDs with apps included with Windows 10, however no software is included with the drive for writing to discs or for playing Blu-Ray or DVD video discs, it must be purchased separately. A product key is included for a downloadable Blu-Ray player for the Windows OS. The Blu-Ray/DVD/CD player works well, but the CyberLink Media Suite software installs with multiple errors, and as a 30-day free trial. There is no option to enter the free product key included with the disc player, and the free trial of CyberLink Media Suite includes an insane amount of SPAM and Nag Ware. I give this disc drive One Star for failure to provide software as promised, and excessive SPAM and Nag Ware harassment by CyberLink who was supposed to provide the free software. I strongly advise against installing the CyberLink software trial version.

First off, its a little pricey compared to a few others. However, it just works. In this case, you get what you pay for. Its a Pioneer and works like it knows it is. I ran this all day ripping old backup -R/-RW disks to back them up. Ireally had this running for most of about 100 hours and it never once failed me or gave any problems. Truly plug and play. It was even able to read DVDs that I couldnt read in my older desktop DVD-R/RW Panasonic drive. It plays BD fast and balances itself fairly well. Not too much vibration unless youve got bad disks. Even then, the noise was minimal. It even came with a third-party travel case that has held up pretty well to a few rough trips. Definitely worth it.

Arrived a day earlier in perfect condition. Im able to read and write dvd an blue ray disks using Nero. A nice carry case that keeps it safe.
