The Pioneer BDR-xD05 6x Slim Portable USB3.0/DVD/CD Black Drive is ultra-compact USB 3.0 drive can read and write to all BDXL discs including BD-R triple-layer 100GB media, BD-R quad-layer 128GB media and BD-RE triple layer 100GB media, as well as conventional Blue-ray discs (single-layer 25GB media and dual-layer 50GB media). The portable device also has the ability to be powered directly via USB (no AC adaptor needed). The BDR-xD05 is bundled with CyberLink Media Suite 10, which includes PowerDVD 10, PowerDirector 10 and Power2Go 7. PowerDVD 10 will even upscale standard-definition content to high-definition quality. PowerDirector 10 allows you to import your home movies, edit them and then author them to Blue-ray Disc or DVD or upload them to social media sites. Power2Go 7 gives you the ability to burn your valuable files to Blue-ray (including triple and quad layer BDXL discs), DVD or CD media. With BDXL support, you can now back up your files with fewer discs than ever before and since the drive is portable and USB bus powered, all of this can be done virtually anywhere.

The BDR-xD05 can write up to 6x on BD-R and BD-R dual-layer (DL) media. One BD-R DL disc can hold the same amount of data as 10 DVDs (single-layer). The drive can write up to 4x on BD-R triple-layer (TL) and quad-layer (QL) media. One QL disc can hold the same amount of data as 27 DVDs (single-layer). The drive is also backward compatible to read and write to most DVD and CD recordable media. The BDR-xD05 also has unique features such as PowerRead, Auto Quiet mode and PureRead2+. PowerRead can provide smoother movie playback when a disc has fingerprints or minor surface scratches. Auto Quiet mode intelligently adjusts the disc rotation speed to reduce noise (useful while watching movies or listening to music) and PureRead automatically adjusts the drive parameters to minimize sound glitches during music playback. Auto Quiet mode and PureRead can be configured as well as enabled and disabled with the Pioneer BDR-xD05 Drive Utility.

Drive Features

Store more data
Up to 156% more data storage capacity than a 50GB Dual Layer Blue-ray Disc. The BDXL format supports BDXL Blue-ray media (including 128GB Quad Layer (QL) and 100GB Triple Layer (TL) Blue-ray Disc).

Smooth movie playback
Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes cause Blue-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 quickly move forward to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blue-ray and DVD movie playback.

A smarter drive
Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode, monitor how they are being used and will 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. PureRead, when enabled, makes the drive reread the obscured data to extract the original music as accurately as possible.

Wide blank media support
Pioneer strives to have best in class performance over a wide range of media 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.
