Pioneer BDR-2212 - Disk drive - M-DISC writer - 8x/16x - Serial ATA - internal - 5.25in

A smarter drive. Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode, monitor how they are being used and adjust their speed automatically - high speed for data transfer, and low speed for music or movie playback. 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. Peak 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. Smooth movie playback. Scratches, fingerprints and other abnormalities on the surface of a disc can sometimes 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 will attempt to move forward quickly to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback. A better music experience. Scratches and fingerprints on your CDs can cause them to skip. A drive normally makes a calculated guess at the unreadable data and attempts to correct this to match the original music.
