## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So happy to have a clamshell usb dvd player.
*by K***R on April 16, 2024*

Really happy to see a clamshell usb dvd player. It is a much more stable base for mounting and dismounting the cds and dvds, and will place less stress on the connectors in the long run.I just got this yesterday, so don't have much to say yet except a warning for fellow users: this dvd player likes the high power usb ports. There is a utility you can download from the pioneer website, and on that utility you can run a test to see if the dvd player is getting enough power. That diagnostic should say "OK". If it says "NG", as it did when it was plugged into a lower power usb port, then it does not work very well. So, if you experience glitchy behavior, the first thing to try is to make sure you have sufficient power to the dvd player.Other than that, it looks good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!
*by S***N on July 5, 2025*

So far, this is the best external DVD/BluRay drive I've found. Works wonderfully!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rough start, but now I'm sold
*by G***O on July 9, 2024*

I initially plugged this into a USB dock that I was having issues with and every burn I attempted, failed. I investigated and found that the VIA driver the dock works with has issues with Windows 10, disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, so I replaced the dock and ever since then, it has burned flawlessly and even reads/writes the disks that had failed so I can reuse them. I like that the disk insert is completely lo-tech mechanical (there are no mechanisms that can fail when you put a disk in or take one out.). You can also visually inspect the inside of the drive before inserting a disk. A must have for parents of children who like sliding things into where they don't belong. Speed is average, but burns are accurate. It's portable so I can use it with a number of my devices. I replaced an old LG internal drive that stopped recognizing Blu-ray disks and now I have a Blu-ray burner that can go anywhere. Very happy. Just wish this went on sale more often.
