Pioneer Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 8X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner BDR-206DBKS

just work fine for what it does.....

Pretty quiet ; price is ok ; shipping was amazingly fast ( 6 egg out of 5) ; ( ordered thursday, got it Friday, AWESOME!!!!!) ; packaging was good

none so far

rip-lock, or riplock, or read-speed limit, whatever name it's given is an utter failure at preventing the backup of legitimately owned discs (if you are a renter/copier you are scum). Which just proves that Hollywood is the leading cause of stupidity...

18.3mbp/s read ; 17.0mbp/s write ; You read that correctly; a 9x write speed on Optical Quantum 4x discs (aka Vinpower, aka PHILIP-R04-00), no coasters...yet. That is on the stock 1.56 firmware

The price for the speed above is a 5 second or so spin-up whirr ; My other drive; a LG GGW-H20L, is nearly silent at the same read speed with the latest YL07 firmware writes the above disc at 4x ; Please read that this "con" is not a con; just a...

Good so far. Let's see how long it lasts. Always had good luck with Pioneer products though, so it should be OK.

So far so good. No coasters yet using IMGBurn. The included software is OK

1.5G/s speed

I'll still give the drive 5 eggs though - the complaints pertain to the Blu-Ray standards I'll bet.

Started out with a different brand - it got lost in quality control - probably bypassed the department. Swapped via Newegg for this one and have never looked back ; It's quiet and does the job

Blu-Ray stinks when using a mouse - they do not co-exist. Who dropped the ball on this ; Also Blu-Ray is very slow to load initially - probably spenging too much time on anti-piracy locks etc

It's a standard BDR drive. I like that the labels on the front are all black. Surprisingly difficult to find a black drive that will blend in with a black case ; Drive is quiet

None so far

I need to take back a review I wrote up a few months ago. I said that the bundled software was trial software which needed to be purchased. I've since realized that I'm an idiot. The CD-key needed is on the CD sleeve. I had so many driver CD's when I...

The burner is the quality I expected and the packaged software is as good, if not better, than most other bundled software. Since I didn't expect spectacular software, I'd say I got exactly what I was supposed to receive

No cons. I consider a con to be something that was either omitted or over stated in the product description. When a product is as described, then there are no cons

I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a superb blu-ray drive!

It is quite, I mean very quiet! Read and write speeds are beautiful. You can not go wrong with this drive

The box is pretty bland

my blue-ray burn but when play back it not support format,, anyone know you to solve the problem or how to get the right format, Thanks

na

I principally wanted this drive to play Blu-ray discs, and wanted a software bundle including a fairly recent version of PowerDVD (so saving spending more on software). The drive works well playing Blu-ray discs, and I've not tested it doing anything...

Good drive and good bundled software package for playing Blu-ray discs

So far, none

I purchased the open box version of this player, as I wanted the Pioneer but did not want to pay >100. The player works with low cost 50GB media from the bay as well as good media (BD-R from Verbatim). It works well on other media as well. PowerDVD...

Works with cheap DL media ; Works with free ImgBurn software ; Very fast on CD-R and DVD-R Media

Not cheap
