About The Product
Looking for the fastest drive in the market but already have software? Then the BDR-212DBK is the drive for you. The BDR-212DBK drive is perfect for system builders, for those looking to upgrade to a fast Blu-ray burner, or for those who already have software.
Internal SATA Drive
The BDR-212DBK is an internal SATA drive. It can burn up to 16x on BD-R (25GB) media and up to 14x on BD-R dual layer (50GB) media, which is the fastest in the market. The drive is also backwards compatible, so it can read and write to most DVD and CD formats.
Backup and Storage with M-DISC
Running out of hard drive space? Afraid of losing your valuable files when your hard drive crashes? With Blu-ray BD-R dual layer (DL) discs, you can store the equivalent of 10 single layer DVDs. With M-DISC support, you can now back up your files with fewer discs than ever before.
QuickPlay and Noise Suppression
The BDR-212DBK drive has features such as QuickPlay which enables movie discs to be ready faster, a Noise Suppression design to minimize noise, an Anti-Dust design to increase durability, and Precision Writing Technology to minimize write errors.
M-DISC
Long-term data protection with M-DISC™ support reading and writing M-DISC™ (DVD, BD: SL25GB/DL50GB/TL100GB) introduced by Millenniata, Inc.
Longer product life with improved drive software
To reduce deterioration of reading performance of discs due to dust and cigarette smoke, the drive features high dustproof performance and improved drive software. This prolongs the drive’s life to about twice that of conventional models.
Faster burning
Up to 6x² writing on BD-R single-layer discs, 4x on BD-R DL discs, and 4x writing on BD-R triple-layer discs.
Get to your files faster
With QuickPlay, the amount of time between inserting a ROM disc and that disc being ready has been reduced. For movies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, the disc is ready faster when compared to previous Pioneer drives.
Wide blank media support
Pioneer strives to have best-in-class performance over a wide range of media – our 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.
