Rated 4 out of 5

Nice internal disc drive for a pc.

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.

Another Pioneer Thoroughbred!

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.

The BDR-2212 is an internal SATA Blu-ray, DVD, and CD writer that supports the BDXL and M-DISC format. The drive can read and write to all BDXL discs1 including BD-R triple-layer 100GB media, BD-R quad-layer 128GB media, and BD-RE triple layer 100GB media, as well as conventional Blu-ray discs (single-layer 25GB media and dual-layer 50GB media). With BDXL and M-DISC support, you can now back up your files with fewer discs than ever before.

The BDR-2212 includes CyberLink Software, "CyberLink Media Suite 10" only for Windows OS. PowerDVD 14 delivers award winning playback software and will even upscale standard-definition content to high-definition quality. PowerDirector 15 LE allows you to import your home movies, edit them, and then upload them to social media sites. Power2Go 8 gives you the ability to burn your valuable files to Blu-ray (including triple and quad layer BDXL discs), DVD or CD media.

Long-term data protection with M-DISC Support
Support reading and writing M-DISC (DVD, BD: SL25GB/DL50GB/TL100GB) introduced by Millenniata, Inc.

Longer product life with improved drive software
To reduce deterioration of reading performance of disc due to dust and cigarette smoke with high dustproof performance and improved drive software. With this, 2212 has a prolonged life about twice of conventional models.

"Easy Setting" function with Drive Utility

Equipped with "Easy Setting" function providing comfortable usability according to purposes.
• Entertainment Mode" is suitable for enjoying movies and music. It enhances quietness and makes the tray open quietly when playing back BD/DVD or music CDs.
• "High-performance Mode", which emphasizes reading and writing speed
• "Quality Mode" , which emphasizes reading and writing quality
• "Eco Mode", which reduces maximum power consumption

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.
