Blu-Ray Player to use on the MacBook Pro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to view/burn Blu-ray Discs. Much better value than the Apple drive which is only a DVD. I did buy a USB-C to Micro B cable to use this with my MacBook Pro. Works good so far.

Good little drive

Worked Perfect Out Of The Box

So Far So Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only used this product to read my cd's to input the data into my laptop. No writing trial at this point. Only downfall, no software came with this product to help with DVD playback. We all know how windows 8 is set up now. An app is needed for everything. I have not really gotten on the Pioneer site to see if there is something available. Further review after I have written a cd, dvd, and a blueray dvd.
