High-Performance Blu-Ray Player Laptop External USB DVD RW Burner Drive: Unleash Superior Media Capabilities Review

I received this disc on Saturday and immediately plugged it into my media server and used it to copy Blu-ray discs to the hard drive . I watched five discs (one right after the other) before I had problems. When inserting the sixth disk, the drive indicated that there was no disk! I tried to eject the disc (using the eject function of the program I'm using), but the drive wouldn't open! When trying to press the eject button on the front of the drive, the drive still WAS NOT ejected, but it spun

Why does this player not have 5 stars Let's start with the pros This drive is adapted from a laptop drive. Many criticize the plastic case. The disk is very small.

When I received this drive I ignored the instructions page that came with it and just popped it into my 2009 MBP.

Where to start? Ah yes, power. They tell you that you don't need an AC adapter because this drive gets all the power it needs from USB. However, what they don't tell you is that you need to use TWO powered USB ports for this. I would prefer a power supply. I inserted one of my DVDs to test the performance of iTunes DVD backup via Handbrake. It froze almost immediately. The debug screen told me it was a region issue, meaning the drive was region 1 and the player was region 2. The sparse…

I chose this to have Blu-ray discs on my Mac as part of my recent project "keep all my DVDs etc in iTunes" to secure. ". According to the system information, these are the specifications of the drive: PIONEER BD-ROM BDC-TD03: Firmware Version: 1.00 Connection: USB Burning Support: Yes (general drive support) Profile Path: No Cache: 4000 KB DVD Read: Yes CD - Burning: -R, -RW DVD Burning: -R, -R DL, -RAM, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW Burning strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD- Raw, DVD - DAOBased on from…
