Produplicator Pioneer BDR-XD07S Portable 6X Blu-ray Burner External Drive Bundle with 25GB M-DISC BD-R and USB Cable - Burns CD DVD BD DL BDXL Discs

If youve had a problem locating an external drive that will work with the new versions of MacOSx like 11.2.2 (Big Sur) then this is the drive for you. Works read/writing DVDs and Reading/Writing Blu-Rays. So many drives say 10.6 (or equivalent) or above are not advertising correctly. I have tried three others with no success.

Work as advertised

Tried this product out based on other reviews. I needed to archive email and downloads to disc (could not use USB flash drive, which would have been much faster, cheaper and easier overall). In prep for re-imaging laptop, I needed to free up storage space on the HDD. DVDs were too small for 200+ GB of email. I had some issues burning to the disc that came with the unit, could not get it to burn. Had to purchase more discs to test out fully. BD-R (Blue Ray Disc) discs are spendy ($41 for pack of 10). Takes a while (25-30 mins) to burn files so be patient. Note- You will not get a full 100GB on the disc, there is overhead, i believe the best you can get is about 90-93GB. I had to break up my PST files into chunks (used 7-Zip). Seems to work as expected. I like the portability and design. I knocked off a star due to the issue with the included 100GB disk which ended up costing me more $ to complete my project.

So far it has worked flawlessly but I have not used one of the 10gb M disc yet.

A plug and play device into a powered USB port on the computer. Burns DVDs and BluRays with no problem. I like the clam shell opening on the top rather than the slide out on many DVD/BluRay burners. This does not come with burning software, I already have that so that was not a requirement for me.

The device arrived quickly and is great for my laptop without a DVD. Now I have a DVD and a Bluray.

I was excited to give this a try today. Upon opening the box I noted the inner plastic packing for the drive was torn open. And the plastic bag for the instructions were ripped open as well. The plastic on the player was also loose with no tape. Sold as new in box but obviously previously sold returned and sold again. However, I still attempted to utilize the drive and it did not work. Spent a few hours downloading software, drivers, etc. Overall bad experience and would not purchase again.

Works well.

Have been trying to find an external optical blu-ray drive as I like to play movies on my Mac, was hoping this would be the one, but nope. Possibly there isnt support beyond Catalina?

Cant seem to get it to work. I will change my rating if I can find out why. It wont rip cds to my collection or play DVDs or BDs
