Worked just as you'd expect.

Excellent Performance... as expected.

Has handled everything I've thrown at it--well, at least put into the loading tray--from CD-R, +R, RW to Blu-ray R to RE (recording and playing).

Good speed compatible with most software easy to install

Installed into my Asus G752VL Laptop. Burns great, rips 4K movies great. All around wonderful bluray drive.

I made this purchase based on the fact that the Blu-Ray player came with the cd-rom for the software with it. Instead of going to the OEM website and possibly paying more. I also was able to receive a newegg instant rebate promotion that was going on at the time of my purchase. I've had minimal glitches with the software, that has been corrected with firmware/driver updates. Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase and would suggest to anyone that is in the market for Blu-ray drives to take their time. Consider the price range, brands, and reviews to come to a logical conclusion as to what to buy.

Easy install Popped out the old Asus player and replaced it with this one. Started my machine and everything worked Set itself up Works great with Windows 8.1

Works perfectly as a UHD friendly player. Instructions provided indicate that the ability to update firmware has been disabled which is great if you are intending to use it for its UHD friendly capability

Fast. Insert a disc and the drive responds very quickly. This was an unexpected bonus. I used to buy LG internal optical drives, but no more. This Pioneer unit is far superior. The extra software in the box is a welcome addition too.

This is my second one. I tried the LGs but they either don't work or don't last long. The pioneer I just plug it in and run decent software and the results are great.

Writes fast, plays reliably, uses USB 3.0.

Very Quick delivery. Easy install. Using it to backup all my external drives. Already burned over forty 25g blurays and it is still working wonderfully.
