Pioneer BDR-XD07B 6X Slim Portable USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD Burner
  • Solid Blu-ray Burner, Play's, Burns, perfectly. Works perfectly with Windows 10!
  • This is a fantastic drive. It reads and writes everything and you can boot from it as well.
  • It burns quite well seems like a solid deal to me and I've been using it for a while now.
  • Works as expected, no crazy driver install on Linux (Ubuntu 19.04). Quiet and fast.
  • Burn blu-Ray disk. Very fast and easy to use.
Pioneer BDR-XD05B External Blu Ray Writer
  • Very good price, unit works very well no issues. Pretty quick write speeds.
  • Great drive, fast read and write speeds. No problems with several weeks of use.
  • Make sure you go to the pioneer website and down the driver utility to max out the read/write speed of this 6x drive.
  • The external drive has decent write speeds and is more quiet than I would have expected. I am able to rip most Blu-ray movies in under an hour.
  • I like this drive overall. It is a good replacement for the Apple superdrive and it actually reads a slightly scratched disk that my wife needs as a key for some software she owns that the Apple superdrive refuses to read.

Pioneer BDR-XD05B External Blu Ray Writer
  • In any case, the drive seems to read all the major kinds of disc formats without any issues. It's a great solution to the fact that my computer didn't come with a disc drive.
  • It really does it all. It reads, writes, blu rays, dvds and CDs.
  • This product allows me to read and write DVD discs with my HP Laptop.
  • Mac user. device works great, once I downloaded a compatible software for reading Blu-rays. DVD's are also great to watch using this drive.

Pioneer BDR-XD05B External Blu Ray Writer
  • Light and compact, top loading.
  • Easy set up, quiet, prefer the top loading instead of slot loading.
  • The surprising top load provides an easy and durable mechanism for the less cautious individuals (such as my grandchildren) using my slimmed down laptop.
  • Plugs and works - portable - easy to use and compatible with both my PC and Max.
  • I really like this product. It works as advertised and is 100% Mac compatible.
  • It took me a while to find a drive that was actually USB 3.0, not just claiming to be...but the research paid off because this drive has been awesome so far - and I put it to work a lot.
  • I wanted a USB 3.0 burner to take advantage of the faster transfer speeds for backing up my DVDs for the kids to use.
