BDR-XD05S
BD/DVD/CD EXTERNAL BURNER
OVERVIEW
The BDR-XD05S slim portable USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD burner is the next generation Blu-ray Disc
burner from Pioneer. This Drive allows users to watch standard and 3D blu-ray disc titles, author
high-definition Blu-ray Disc content while also delivering the ability for high-capacity data storage
(software not included1). The drive supports the BDXL format. BDXL supports 128GB Quad Layer
and 100GB Triple Layer Blu-ray media. The BDR-XD05S can read BD-ROM discs, read/write to
single, dual, triple, & quad layer BD-R discs, and is backward compatible to read and write to DVD
and CD formats. The BDR-XD05S drive is USB bus powered so no ac adapter is necessary.
Auto Quiet Mode: The drive monitors how it is being used and will adjust its disc rotation speed
automatically, high speed for data transfer, and low speed for audio and movie playback.
PowerRead: If the drive cannot read an area of a disc, it will attempt to quickly move forward to the
next available data point instead of stopping, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback.
PureRead2+: A drive normally makes a calculated guess at the unreadable data on an audio CD.
PureRead, when enabled, makes the drive re-read the obscured data to extract the original music as
accurately as possible.
