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

The drive is great and the fact that it comes with a protective case is bonus. The CyberLink software bundle (Version 10! - the bundle is now discontinued) is useless. As a matter of fact, trying to download it gave me the following error: Error: Your Product Key Has Been Used, which is, of course hogwash. A week later I still have to hear from Cyberlink with a resolution.

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

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 use this on MacBook Pro, and it works great for disc playback, I have not tried the burning functions yet.

It does everything I need and is very well built.

The best burner I have used in many years.

I bought this to replace a failing LG external BD Drive that was about a year old. I am in the process of working on my media library so I only use this to read disks. I do not watch movies with this drive, nor do I write disks with it. Overall I am happy. The cord is a USB 3 compatible cord, only takes one slot (unlike the LG which took 2 USB slots), and has a pretty good read speed. This drive was even able to read a disk that my LG drive couldnt so I am happy about that. The things I didnt like about it. One, it is a bit pricey compared to other drives but you could chalk that up to you get what you pay for; and two, the drive is a lift lid versus slide the disk in. The lid does not lock into place so you kind of have to watch that as youre loading a disk.

I bought this to rip my DVD and Bluray collection to my Plex server. It works great. No issues or complaints.

Worked great right out of the box. Not plug and play. Rq

Excellent external Blu-ray burner. Use it to rip old discs.
