PIONEER Internal Blu-ray Drive BDR-2213 High Reliability & 16x BD-R Writing Speed Internal BD/DVD/CD Writer with PureRead 3+ and M-DISC Support

Very high quality optical drive. I really enjoyed its functionality. The software that is included was also nice.Why I like it? It’s Becuase it’s one of the few drives that were considered to be high quality, and had the best blu ray burning quality compared to other drives like LG and Asus. Smokes them easily.It also included a lot more options and customization compared to other brands. For example it had an option for 2x recording speed that other drives just did not have for some reason (even though they have to)

Installed on my Desktop and it functions as Described, and even though it runs at 1GB/Sec and not the 6GB/Sec that many are use to, this product is actually really good, it quickly installed many program disks, it played movies in both Blu-ray and DVD formats, it also wrote a CD-R and DVD disk during a test, though I did not try the Blu-ray write as I do not have any disks to write on, but that is fine as I do not write to BD anyway.So anyone on a budget that needs a good Optical drive, this is it.

I use this to play music or burn dvds. This burner has a secondary laser for better tracking it handle scratch better than my past two burner. Samsung computer burner, blu ray, and LG burner. Note go search, you can get a professional burner for commercial use or single burner that better than this one (it has other feature to check accuracy). love it and it pickup the details of the music, i.e. appears no lose bits when reading the cd track.

I bought this overpriced DVD player purely for the cool software that would help "fix" the scratched music discs I have. After numerous hours installing various downloads. I finally gave up. The PureRead software doesn't come with the player and all links provided by Pioneer lead to dead-ends.

I've used it to burn three Blu-ray home videos at this point. All three burned successfully and were watchable. Can't ask for much more! It works great. Hopefully many years of service are ahead.

With a blue ray drive you can do a backup of 100 GB. They are kind of expensive about 6 bucks.If you only need to copy 25 gigs you can get the disks for about $1.20 in quantity.Plus you should be able to still burn CD and DVD disks. If you are like me you still have a stack of blank CD and DVD disk you can still use them also.Yes burning a large quantity of data is slow but if you normally leave your computer on at night away; why not.Yes for large data centers this may not be practical but for home use. Well I like them.The DVD drive I used all the time broke and I replaced it with this drive. I am happy I did!

Worth every penny...

This drive is fast, quiet and versatile. It's able to play many discs that wouldn't load in my previous, now retired drive. My own caveat are the dimensions are different, a wider tray, so I wasn't able to use the faceplate I'd utilized previously that came with my case. Still, it's a fair trade off for superlative performance.
