Review Summary

This a a nice unit for playing and recording to a dvd or blu ray disc. We are using it as connected to our projector for movie night and small groups using dvd based studies. It came with the software if needed, but I don't like that the video program gives me pop ups for upgrades. Easy install, but I wish it had come with a SATA cable. I had to scrounge one up to install. Plug and play so we were able to use it right away with no fuss.

Burned 6 BD-R single layer discs so far and no coasters. The previous Pioneer burner that this one is replacing was BDR-206 and it lasted me 15 years. So, I'm confident that this one will have the same longevity and horse power. Love all the extra options to burn different media and finally the tray door does not have to be forced open on the first time your about to use it with a paper clip. Expensive but your future proofing for the next five years. Buy this if you archive a crud load of files on disc media.

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) and 100GB Triple Layer (TL) Blu-ray Disc). (Triple and quadruple layer BDXL discs can only be used in BDXL drives.)
Faster burning
Up to 16x writing on BD-R single-layer discs, 14x on BD-R DL discs, and 8x writing on BD-R triple-layer discs.
Get to your files faster
With QuickPlay, the amount of time between inserting a ROM disc, and that disc being ready, has been reduced. For movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, the disc is ready faster when compared to previous Pioneer 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 playback. (PowerRead is not guaranteed to work with all disc conditions or under all PC environments.)
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.
A better music experience
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. (PureRead3+ is not guaranteed to work with all disc conditions or under all PC environments)
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.
Peak Power Reducer
This power saving mode enables the drive to suppress power consumption at peak operation. It keeps stable operation in case of drop in power supply.
