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

Thought I could use this drive with my new MacBook Pro (M1). The unit does not come with a USB C cable so you cant directly attach it to the MacBook. When I try to connect with the dongle, the mac wont recognize it.

I had to replace my old computer that had two Blue Ray burners in it. The new computers dont come with any CD/DVD burner or writer. This just plugged into the USB on the computer and just works! Very happy although the cable is short and it doesnt sit on top of the new AlienWare R12 (it has a rounded top). Seems like they could have a longer cable at least one long enough to reach the top of a desk (like 2 footer). But the drive works very well.

I know I was putting a heavy production load on it, but all it lasted was for 28 days. At least it was within the Amazon Prime guarantee period, so the return was quick and easy. Also, seems that the folks at Amazon have programmed an auto-refund if you buy an Asurion extended warranty at the same time, because I got that refunded before I could even ask for it! (High marks to Amazon for making that happen. That wasnt the case even 2 months ago, so thumbs up!) While it worked, it was quick and reliable.

My initial impression of this drive is *not* encouraging (for writing data to disks)!! Im using Verbatim BD-R disks, and have used three different programs now to handle disk writes; CyberLink (which comes with the drive), Ashampoo Burning Studio (free), and BurnAware free. I have had 3 dead disks out of 6 tries. My system is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I tried looking for a firmware update for the drive, but cannot find one on the company site. I tried calling tech support, but they hung up on me without ever reaching a human; I have an email request in now. I also considered using a separate power supply, though the Pioneer docs insist that is not required. I *do* hope I can resolve this before I receive the more-expensive M-disc disks that Ive ordered; throwing out half of those will *not* be acceptable!!

Works as expected. Needed to download players but knew that before buying. Top notch. No problems. Speedy shipping.

It comes with 3.0 usb cable and a carry case. You need to download a free software from pioneer website which requires product id. It plays blu ray CD with smooth. So far so good no issues

I really like the Blu-ray recorder it helps me to burn my drone videos onto disk, as I had one hell of a time doing it on a DVD burner the videos would not fit.

The best burner I have used in many years.

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 had a bunch of old CDs and DVDs that I wanted to save onto hard drives. They were very scratched up and dirty, but surprisingly this lil player was able to read them with no problem! Did its job with flying colors!
