This drive combines Pioneer reliability and high performance with high-speed writing, providing up to 16x maximum write speed on BD-R (SL : 25GB) and up to 14x writing speed on BD-R (DL : 50GB). It is compatible with BDXL format discs (BD-R XL : 100GB TL / 128GB QL, BD-RE XL : 100GB TL) as well as BD discs. High-speed reading and writing are supported for both DVDs and CDs. DVD-R discs (Single Layer: 4.7GB) can be written at up to 16x, while music CDs can be read at up to 48x speed.The latest version of PureRead 4+ featuring unique algorithms
When read errors caused by scratches or fingerprints occur when importing (ripping) audio CDs, using this function allows for automatic detection of the disc state, adjustment of the read method using an original algorithm, and then re-reading of the disc. This minimizes error data interpolation.Realtime PureRead plays back audio CDs with their original sound data
This product features RealTime PureRead, which utilizes the PureRead 4+ algorithm to minimize the occurrence of error data interpolation when importing (ripping) audio CDs, and also during playback. This provides real-time reduction of the incidence of error data interpolation due to dirt and scratches on the surface of the disc, allowing playback of audio CDs with the original sound data.Displaying PureRead mode
With the device not operating, press and hold the eject button for at least two seconds. The busy indicator flashes, and the current PureRead mode setting is displayed. You can check the mode in advance without launching the Drive Utility on your PC.Can be placed vertically on either side, and features ridged construction that offers high performance and a pleasing design
Comes with four insulators for use in a horizontal configuration and eight for use in a vertical configuration. In addition to the horizontal configuration, the drive can be placed vertically, allowing you to use it in a configuration that suits the layout of your workspace.With a simple matte body, the product features distinctive metallic lines and a blue light that stands out for an elegant front appearance. Grooves on the sides contribute to the attractive design and improve rigidity.Compatible with high-speed M-DISC writing for long-term data archiving
This product is compatible with M-DISC optical media for archiving, developed by US-based Millenniata Inc. It now also supports 6x writing on M-DISC (BD) SL and M-DISC (DVD).Further Improvement of Writing Quality
Beyond the high writing quality of its predecessors, BDR-X13U-S improves writing quality by correcting parameters during data writing.AUTO power supply function links with PC power to provide power savings
The drive power is turned on and off according to the power supply of the connected PC, keeping unnecessary power consumption down.Custom Eco function reduces the drive's power consumption
If the drive does not receive any commands (instructions for operation) from the PC for a specified period, this function will reduce the drive's power consumption, such as by stopping the disc from rotating or reducing the disc rotation speed. Shortening this specified period will make the drive enter the power saving mode earlier.Other Functions
Equipped with Pioneer's Optimal Write Strategy Prediction Algorithm, which provides stable writing even on discs for which the drive does not have a set write strategy
The drive automatically predicts the optimal write strategy even on discs for which the drive does not have a set write strategy. The function provides more stable writing.Easy Setting function with Drive Utility
Equipped with an Easy Setting function to allow you to set one of four modes according to the intended use. 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 consumptionPeak 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.Optimized Write & Verify Mode Algorithm
BD drives generally have two modes: a method in which verification is performed as needed after writing is completed, and a write & verify mode in which writing and verification are performed alternately. In BDR-X13U-S, Pioneer has improved the write & verify mode and achieved higher speeds by optimizing various algorithms.Shorten the startup time
The startup time from inserting a disc to reading is shortened by optimizing the routine that checks the disc. Furthermore, performance has been improved to recognize each disc in a shorter time by making the pick-up lighter and improving seek time by revising the algorithm.High Speed Data Read Mode shortens data search and reading time
In addition to various modes that prioritize quietness and slow down the speed after a certain time, the BDR-X13U-S is equipped with High Speed Data Read Mode. In the High Speed Data Read Mode, once the disc rotation speed becomes high, even after the reading is completed, it continues to rotate at a high speed so that high-speed reading can be performed immediately when the next read command comes.Equipped with a high-speed rotation compatible clamper
The BDR-X13U-S improves disc writing accuracy and quietness by reducing disc vibration and stabilizing disc rotation.Uses a high-speed rotation compatible clamper Reduces disc vibration and stabilizes disc rotation
Improved disc writing accuracy
Improved noise reduction effect at high-speed rotationHigh Speed Recording Mode and Write Quality Mode (standard mode) can be selected. The mode can be switched using the Drive Utility.
It is possible to optimize disc duplication where speed is prioritized, and for normal use where quietness and writing accuracy are emphasized.Optimum Writing Speed Feature realizes optimum writing accuracy for each BD-R media
Optimum Writing Speed Feature is a function that automatically selects the best writing speed for each media by considering various parameters to improve the accuracy of the write quality to BD-R/DVD-R/+R media. This function is recommended when you want to emphasize writing accuracy.Disc Record Surface Quality Mode improves the appearance of BD-R media
The inserted BD-R disc's write speed will be automatically adjusted to write speed to prioritize the disc record surface quality. This function is useful for burning discs for distribution.DVD-R CLV Fixed Writing Mode
When writing a DVD-R, the writing method is fixed to CLV (Constant Linear Velocity). This mode reduces the apparent color unevenness of the disc while maintaining writing accuracy. Recommended where discs are expected to be played on different types of DVD devices, for example sharing the video of a celebration with your guests.Windows Software CyberLink Media Suite 10
