Comments about Pioneer BDR-206MBK 12x Internal BDXL/DVD/CD Writer with CyberLink BD Software:
This Writer works well. It takes a little to write to the disk, but it is well worth it for a 100 GBs. The Software (Cyber Link) Power DVD Blu Ray on the other hand does not support BD Live. So if you have Commerical Blu Ray disks with (BD Live) the player will not decode the movie for you to watch on your computer. This defeats the purpose of the player. I asked Cyber Link for clarification and stated that they didn't support it.

Comments about Pioneer BDR-206MBK 12x Internal BDXL/DVD/CD Writer with CyberLink BD Software:
It's a breeze. Ready for Mac. Remove the gate cover of the burner before the installation otherwise won't open the sliding door on the Mac. Great for burn Blu-ray directly from Final Cut Pro X. Also great to Backup jobs.

Comments about Pioneer BDR-206MBK 12x Internal BDXL/DVD/CD Writer with CyberLink BD Software:
I wanted to add Blu-Ray to my MacPro 8 core system but decided to go with a SATA instead of internal PATA. I have more than 1 MacPro so this unit is a "test the waters" to see how it will run before upgrading other machines. So far so good. It is very fast and quite (unlike some SATA Hard drives even). Over the years of buying and being sadly let down by much gear I feel this BD drive feels sold and it will be not wasted money spent.

Smoken hot. An outstanding performer. I sold optical storage for a major manufacturer for 7 years. Pioneer makes one of the best optical drives.
