Works great for backing up my Blu-Ray disks. Reasonable price once you keep in mind that a $40 drive might work once or twice, but not again. I appreciate the detachable USB cable and the inclusion of a USB-A to -C adapter.

As all pioneer Blu-ray players I've purchased, it is well crafted, reliable and functions as advertised as far as I can test it. (side note) many software companies claim to be able to perform the 4k and HDR disc play back, I have tried many and no software allows 4k play back with any 4k and HDR players. This is not a pioneer issue but should be mentioned since every company seems to claim it is capable of those play back options but not a single one of them have proven they are able.)

Like its clamshell access to discs versus tray drive. Blu-ray Discs play nice on pc with player software that can be downloaded for windows. This is the 2nd drive purchased.

Plugs right in using USB-C. Unfussy and reads reasonably well from lightly to moderately damaged discs. Speeds are good but not blindingly fast. Not the quietest at high speeds but at or below 2x you can barely hear it. Holds up to long periods of sustained use.

I initially plugged this into a USB dock that I was having issues with and every burn I attempted, failed. I investigated and found that the VIA driver the dock works with has issues with Windows 10, disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, so I replaced the dock and ever since then, it has burned flawlessly and even reads/writes the disks that had failed so I can reuse them. I like that the disk insert is completely lo-tech mechanical (there are no mechanisms that can fail when you put a disk in or take one out.). You can also visually inspect the inside of the drive before inserting a disk. A must have for parents of children who like sliding things into where they don't belong. Speed is average, but burns are accurate. It's portable so I can use it with a number of my devices. I replaced an old LG internal drive that stopped recognizing Blu-ray disks and now I have a Blu-ray burner that can go anywhere. Very happy. Just wish this went on sale more often.

The bluray player arrived well packed and works very well with my lenovo laptop. I like that it's really light, slim and compact which makes it easy to carry around. Thank you seller for a good product!

I have a small library of Blu-Ray DVDs. My new system was a mini-PC without a USB Blu-Ray drive. The drive was able to play my DVD and Blu-Ray discs. There were some glitches/stuttering during play-back which I believe is attributed to the new system. The play-back software is dated, but worked on my Win11 box. Overall, installation was straight forward and I was watching videos without any installation issues.

My newest PC was unable to have a blu-ray drive installed with it, and I often watch movies and TV shows from my collection when I'm not working in my home office, so I wanted an external drive. This one was exactly what I needed. Couldn't be simpler to use; just plug into an open USB port, the PC detects it, and you're ready to watch regular DVD or blu-ray movies/shows (**NO 4K, though...just be aware of that.**)I haven't tried running any of my legacy PC games that are still on physical media, but I'm willing to bet those will work fine, as well.It's quick to recognize whatever disk is inserted, I can watch movies and shows without any lag or playback issues. It's lightweight and very portable, so it's great if you're mobile and working with a laptop. You just can't go wrong with this exterior drive.

Da ich doch viele CDs noch habe und kein CD-Laufwerk im neuen PC hatte musste ich ein Externes CD-Laufwerk besorgen. Es kam in einer Plastiktüte aus der USA an. Da das ein weiter Weg ist zu mir ist es auch nicht wie ein rohes Ei behandelt worden. Es kam dann hier offen ( Beutel war aufgerissen ( denke mal das das den nicht interessiert hat , nur ein CD-Laufwerk) ). Aber da kann der Verkäufer nichts dafür. Naja, CD-Laufwerk ausgepackt ( naja, aus der offenen Tüte rausgeholt ) und per USB-C ( beide waren noch vorhanden ) Angeschlossen. Es lief unter WIN 11 sofort an las alle Daten auf der CD ohne Probleme. Also alles gut. Robust ist es jedenfalls. Und wenn ich unterwegs mit meinem Notebook bin ist es super wenn ich einen Videofilm sehen kann ( im Zug mit der DB unterwegs ).

If I could rate it any lower I would. Simply put, it doesn't work. I went through an hour of installing all the software from an extremely shady Japanese website just for this to freeze up and crash every time I get 12 seconds into a bluray. I cannot recommend this product for anyone.

Overall it's a good portable Blu-ray or DVD drive for Windows. But it is contraindicated the description that it is compatible with Mac OS. There is no native nor a supplied software to support Blu-ray. One needs to buy Mac OS Blu-ray software to utilize the Blu-ray feather of the the drive and defeat the purpose of paying more for the drive. Mac OS Blu-ray software could run well over 50.00 dollars in app store.

Tengo unos CD con el sistema Copy Control editados a mediados de los 2000, y al momento de importar los archivos con otras unidades siempre presentaban errores al reproducirlos. Con esta unidad pude agregarlos a mi biblioteca sin problema alguno. Es muy rápida, trabaja excelente con Mac OS Ventura sin necesidad de instalar software adicional. Eso sí, en el manual menciona que hay que manipularla con mucho cuidado. El material no se siente frágil como el de otros lectores externos. Es un producto ampliamente recomendado.
