Description

The BDR-XD05S is likely one of the world’s smallest and lightest BD/DVD/CD portable burners supporting BDXL. The ultra-compact USB 3.0 drive is ideal for Mac users or for individuals who already have software. The BDR-XD05S can write to BDXL1 discs, Blu-ray discs and is backwards compatible to reinforce DVD and CD media. Not only is the BDR-XD05S one of the most smallest and lightest Blu-ray drives available in the market, but its also one of the most fastest with speeds up to 6×2 for BD-R and BD-R DL media.

The BDR-XD05S also has unique features such as PowerReadTM, Auto Quiet mode, and PureRead2+. PowerRead3 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 at the same time as watching movies or listening to music), and PureRead4 automatically adjusts the drive parameters to minimize sound glitches right through music playback. Auto Quiet mode and PureRead can be configured as well as enabled and disabled with the Pioneer BDR-XD05S Drive Utility.

The portable device, measuring only 5.2″ (W) X 0.55″ (H) X 5.2″ (D) and weighing a mere 8.46 ounces, also has the ability to be powered directly via USB (no AC adaptor needed).

In a Mac OS environment, Finder can be utilized to read and write to BDXL, Blu-ray, DVD and CD media, and DVD Player can play back DVD movies. Blu-ray playback requires additional software (not included). Of course other Mac software that supports optical drives can access the BDR-XD05S also.
Store more data : …Up to 156% more data storage capacity than a 50GB Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc. The BDXLTM format supports BDXL Blu-ray media (including 128GB Quad Layer (QL) and 100GB Triple Layer (TL) Blu-ray DiscTM).
Faster burning : 6x writing on BD-R single-layer and dual-layer discs. 4x writing on BD-R triple-layer and quad layer discs.
An eco-friendly drive : Smaller packaging – saves resources and fuel for transportation / Reduced power consumption on external USB drives which allows for eco-friendly USB bus-powered drives.
Smooth movie playback : Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can infrequently 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 is going to attempt to quickly move forward to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-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.
