Worth the cost. Solid drive.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive funcitons as advertised. The only complaint I have is that the provided USB3.0 cable is forked and for some reason this "tertiary power" coupling is getting more popular. Frankly I'd rather a different design but no matter WHO's drive you get, it's going to be that way. I'd have done 5 stars if they either redesigned it or gave you far more length than 2 inches for people who's extra port is on the other side of the laptop... Not smart "pioneer" Again, this is really nothing that affects ownership or use. It's just a hair being split.

Great Mac-compatible Blu-ray burner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast burning Blu-ray drive is great for large file backups (like RAW images.) And the clamshell design means no disc tray for a clumsy person like myself to break!

Does what it's supposed to.

Fantastic USB3 Option for External DVD/BluRay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a second USB drive for my Macbook Pro, and I chose this unit over the Apple Super Drive (which I purchased last time). For only $15 more, I was able to add BluRay read and write. That's a great value! The design integrates nicely to my other Apple gear, the device runs quietly, and the laser hasn't had any read errors (even on scratched discs). I don't have any complaints and am considering buying another to replace the Super Drive I already had.

Works as it's supposed to
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fewer and fewer laptops come with optical drives anymore, and being in IT, I occasionally have the need for one while on the go. This drive works well enough and transports easily, being slightly bigger than a CD case, it's easy to tuck into a laptop bag. The only real faults are it's a little loud, which is typical for optical drives anyways, and sometimes it's pretty slow to spin up, to the point where I'm not sure if it's actually reading the disc. These are only minor issues, not worth losing a star, but worth a mention.
