    I bought this CD/DVD/BD burner for use with a new Apple computer. It's not as fast as I'd like, but it was recommended by the store salesman (who, coincidentally, had no other drives to show me), so I bought it rather than order something online. The drive works well; plackback of CDs and DVDs has been fine; burning discs has been flawless thus far. I've not yet used the drive for Blu-Rays.

    I loved it! Works well & is super fast. Top loading discs like an old boom box instead of waiting for a tray to eject.

    I love my Mac computers, but as it the trend lately (that they led), most machines don't have disk drives anymore, and Macs never had blu ray drives anyway. You'll need some special blu ray software you can find various places to play blu ray disks on a Mac, but DVDs and the burning features work great without any additional software. On occasion, I have some issues with ejecting the disk, but that has more to do with MacOS and it's semi-strange handling of optical disks than anything else.

    Wanted a disk drive for my laptop and was looking at all of the external ones online. This pioneer is working with no problems and I'm running windows 10 and do a lot of movies on disk. For me it was a good purchase and am able to take advantage of my USB 3.0 ports. Mine runs quiet, but had to go on website to get a patch for that. Good buy.
