Definitely worth the money!

Although this player works with an old Asus X75A laptop with Samsung curved QLED display and I wasn't sure if my laptop would work at all, the picture and sound quality with the Cyberlink PowerDVD software is amazing and definitely worth the money!

Works on M1 Mac and is very quiet!

I have one of these new M1 Macs and was a bit skeptical that it wouldn't work because the firmware was only updated after Catalina. When I first got the drive I plugged it into my old MacBook Pro (13" Mid 2012) running Windows 10 Pro and it was very noisy so I couldn't sleep while it was running. Today I tried connecting it to my new MacBook Pro (13" M1 2020) and not only does it work, it's much quieter than my old MacBook Pro. It's definitely worth the investment as it can read even scratched…

Arbitrarily slow external components

Not smooth for reading/playing Blu-ray. Pioneer appears to have capped the BD's read speed to prevent copying. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the truth is that this drive only reads BD at 2x speed, while the old drives I own can do it at 8x speed. I wanted to like it for its compact profile and versatility, but eventually returned it when I found poor read speeds. It's also useless as a UHD BD reader if it can't seem to play without an Intel iGPU, nor can it be configured to copy to
