Many appreciate its performance and the affordable price point. However, some users have expressed concerns regarding the included software and the noise level during operation. The positive feedback on ease of use and Blu-ray playback outweighs the negative comments on software and noise.

    This is a nice looking unit that allows me to watch Blu Ray discs on my Mac but when writing standard DVD's it is very slow. Near real time in fact. If you burn alot of DVD's a different burner might be a better choice.
