Question: Should this work with Mac OS Yosemite? It doesn't seem to for me.
Document: Worked great with my Mac Book Pro. It is USB 3.0, so it is fast.Rips Audio CDs fast up to (real) 24X.
If you must use two USB 2.0 ports that are far apart (like on the right and left sides of a laptop) then you will have to connect a USB extender cable (not supplied) to one of the ports.The unit's cover opens to about 75 degrees for easier disk loading and unloading, more than the approximately 30 degrees shown in the picture. Also, the pushbutton that opens the cover does not work unless power is present.
I have tried several solutions for burning a BRD on my MacPro (so, I'm reviewing the BDR-XD05W). Like the previous reviewer, I saw this at BBuy and purchased it hoping that this one would work.Did I get it work work, eventually? Yes. But the limitations of this drive make it hard to recommend.First, you must tie up 2 USB3 ports. This drive will not have adequate power on a single USB port.
Still, if I could get it to work, I'd make the sacrifice. My Macbook Pro Retina has two USB3 ports, one on each side. The drive comes with a two-connection cable, but it's only 18&#34; long, and the double connectors require that the ports be side by side. In short, won't work with a MBPRetina, and to make it work on my MacPro would require a much longer cable. The other solution is to purchase (separately) an AC adapter.
The Pioneer BDXL burns, reads and does all the needed functions at an acceptable speed. I am very pleased with the performance.
Nice looking unit, good quality. Flexible power (USB or power supply) but no power supply included, this is a little draw back.
It's compact and light, it's USB 3.0, not much more in size than a CD/DVD case, the price is very competitive and it's a respected brand name. It's the perfect companion for the latest 1080p laptop.
In my view, this is a fail, and it's going back to BB. Be warned.
I had a different brand before where you slid your disc into the slot, the device grabbed your disc and pulled it in. That worked great EXCEPT in the case where I needed to manually eject the disk. There was NO pinhole in which to stick a paper clip to do the ejection! This device does the clam shell! It works beautifully as a CD player/burner AND you will never be stuck with a stuck disc!
I cannot comment on reliability or longevity as I've only had this unit for a few weeks.
Answer: Will work for reading and writing data, but you'll need additional software to watch Blu-Rays.
