    I am using this with a Dell 2in1 notebook, it is very slim and light weight, perfect for slipping into a case to take with you. Also runs off USB power so no need for external power brick.

    I purchased this item for an iMac Mid 2017 27" 18.3. Works great with the Mac, very quiet, burns Blu-Ray and Standard DVD's. Also burns CD's as well. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    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.

    I have used the device 1 time to write a file to a DVD. I have watched DVD and Blu-Ray discs maybe 10 times. I have not experienced any issues. The drive has yet to withstand the test of time.

    Nice compact and lightweight. No burning software with it but it works like a champ so far. The cover seems a little flimsy but I'd still recommend buying this.

    This is great for reading and burning discs but is a little loud at first then quiets down. Also it does function with windows but there is no special software as when you have a mac.

    This is a great external DVD/Blu-ray player. Needed this because new Macs do not have internal dvd player any longer. Works great and I have never had any disk fail or not play.

    The only disks I've run through this are Blu-ray, 25GB, and everyone has come out perfectly. My video editing program already supported blu-ray so I had no problem with software.

    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.

    I am not what you would call computer savvy but this product was easy to use. It is essentially a plug and play device with minimal instruction needed to use. Highly recommended

    Very easy setup. Plug it in, run the enclosed utility software and your done. A must have add-on and easy to use and easy to configure, almost too easy. Try it, you'll like it.
