    If you want an external Blu Ray drive with a USB interface, this does a good job. Would buy again if I needed another one.

    I went with the blu-Ray drive over the dvd super drive. Figured I'd get the best use out of my 5k retina display

    I used this to copy DVDs to my hard drive. Once I got that done, I had no use for it. It did its job though!

    Bought this to help me backup my Dvd and Blu-ray collection on my laptop that has no Dvd drive. Item works as required/desired. Do not expect to just plug this in and watch Blu-ray movies with your same old Dvd player program. You will have to get a Blu-ray player program if that is you want to do. Excellent product though.

    Just what I wanted. A simple, multipurpose Blu-Ray writer that worked just fine under Windows 10. Made my movie disc with DVD Architect. What's not to like?

    I bought this for my Dell ultrabook. This has worked flawlessly out of the box. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a case/sleeve to store it in.

    Bought this for my iMac that doesn't have a blu-ray drive. This one was straight forward plug and play. Much better than the LG dvd external I tried before.

    The Pioneer Blu-Ray External burner will match perfectly with your Macbook or your IMac thanks to the silver look, its USB 3.0 so fast and reliable.

    I only needed an external Blu Ray reader, but I found this and it works fine. But you need twp USB ports. One for power and one for data.

    This is a small inexpensive burner for printing DVDs in 720 format. Not yet sure of the ability to burn in 1080 or Blu-ray format.

    the only reason i didn't give full stars rating is because you have to buy additional software to play most blu rays or better
