Today’s ultra slim premium laptops deserve a matching optical disc solution. The Pioneer BDR-XD07B is a choice second to none. It reads and writes BD/DVD/CD fast, and supports M-DISC and BDXL. When user plays back CD or DVD with obscured area, scratches or fingerprints, it will reread or skip to continue if reread can’t be performed.
Long-term data protection with M-DISC Support
Support reading and writing M-DISC (DVD, BD: SL25GB/DL50GB/TL100GB) introduced by Millenniata, Inc.
Compact, well-balanced body
Clamshell type that enables the easy takein and takeout of a disc in a narrow place. 230g super lightweight and 133×133mm CD size compact body.
“PureRead 3+” that faithfully reads audio CDs
Scratches and fingerprints on your CDs can cause them to skip. A drive normally makes a calculated guess at the unreadable data and attempts to correct this to match the original music. However, this is not 100% accurate. PureRead3+, when enabled, makes the drive reread the obscured data to extract the original music as accurately as possible.
Store more data
Up to 156% more data storage capacity than a 50GB Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc. The BDXL format supports BDXL Blu-ray media (including 128GB Quadruple Layer (QL)1 and 100GB Triple Layer (TL)1 Blu-ray Disc).
Faster burning
Up to 16x2 writing on BD-R single-layer discs, 14x on BD-R DL discs, and 8x writing on BD-R triple-layer discs.
An eco-friendly drive
Smaller packaging—saves resources and fuel for transportation. Reduced power consumption on external USB drives which allows for eco-friendly USB bus-powered drives.
Smooth movie playback
Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes cause Blu-ray and DVD movie playback to stop. When a PowerRead enabled drive is not able to read through obstructed areas of a disc, it will attempt to move forward quickly to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback3.
A smarter drive
Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode, monitor how they are being used and adjust their speed automatically—high speed for data transfer, and low speed for music or movie playback.
Wide blank media support
Pioneer strives to have best-in-class performance over a wide range of media—our drives achieve this for a large variety of BD and DVD media. Refer to the drive’s media support list for all supported media and the write speed that can be achieved.

Pros: Construction is better than other portable drives I've used. Instead of a flimsy re packaging of a laptop drive with the fragile tray, the clam shell top load makes the thing much more solid, which is good for a portable drive. Unless you sit on it or drop something heavy on it, it should serve you well for years. It plays DVD's and CD's just fine. I have burned a CD at this point with no issues. I haven't yet tried a DVD burn. It is USB 3 compatible.
Cons: Documentation is very poor. The little "emergency release" thing on the bottom is clumsy to use but it does work (this release is not documented). As long as its powered the top button works fine. Blu Ray operation needs software. The downloadable free software is big and doesn't work, it informs you to download a newer version, which is a pay version!
Overall Review: I got a new laptop which like nearly all modern laptops lacks an optical drive. I needed a portable one, so I opted for this because I had nothing to play a blu ray with. I've learned that Blu Ray is not as straightforward as DVD playing was. You need software. I'm not aware of any operating system that supports Blu Ray natively. Recent windows versions don't support DVD either. I started looking for free options naturally. Most of them did not work or were not stable. They might work on one of my machines but not another. Long story short, you will probably need to purchase software to do Blu Ray at least to play commercial disks (more later on that). Fortunately they all seem to have a trial period, so you can verify they suit your needs before purchasing. I'm not recommending since i found different hardware may work while others won't. I would say don't think about doing Blu Ray in windows without at least a core I5 processor. A high end graphics card might get you around that limit, but i don't know. You should plan on some experimentation before you start relying on it for Blu Ray. Ultimately remember Blu Ray got the nod not because it was best, but because it offered the best copy protection. The system requires that the player download code from the kisk to unlock the disk and play it properly. I think this is where the free software stumbles. Some codecs need to be licensed. If you are only using it to record and play your own home made Blu Ray disks, the free versions might work for that. But, again, plan to experiment!! Despite the Blu Ray challenges which would be true for any drive I suspect, it is a good clean well built drive and I'm happy with my purchase. I could not give it 5 eggs because of the very poor documentation. CH
