Review: Update Firmware, Then Very Reliable - I have had this PIONEER Internal Blu-ray Drive BDR-S13UBK in service for about 6 months. For the most part it works great. Reliable writes and reads. I use it mostly for archiving large amounts of data on BD-R. One precaution, update the firmware as soon as you get it. I was of the old school to only update firmware if there was a problem. Well the problem I encountered was that I pushed the eject button and the tray opened while the disc was still spinning. Argh !!! The latest firmware fixed that. Yikes ! Also, you need to utility installed to change the drive default from quiet operation to maximum speed. With these precautions, highly recommended.
Review: Do not Buy / Misleading. - The drive will read UHD discs but will not play them and of course you can forget about ripping support. Because Hollywood and RIAA. desertcart is selling these drives cheaply as they cannot get rid of them. To any who are unfortunate to buy this, or considering this, I can suggest a google search for billycar11. Great person in the makemkv community.

## Features

- Pioneer New/Updated firmware 2023 included.
- 【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.
- 【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).
- 【High-quality front design】 The simple design of smoked acrylic with a hairline finish from which blue light seems to emerge is accented with metallic lines, for an appearance that projects superior quality.
- 【Unique honeycomb construction and cooling structure】 This product features a unique honeycomb structure that increases the rigidity of the housing and minimizes unnecessary vibration. It also commutes airflow generated within the housing by the rotation of the disc, circulating it effectively to alleviate the temperature increase in the pickup and disc surface that occurs when the disc is rotated for extended periods or at high speed.
- Included Accessories: User manual (including application product key and warranty information)
- 【Important update for Limited Warranty】 The warranty period will now run from the date of product delivery from the first retail sale, applicable to all products sold at retail on or after July 1, 2023. A product’s updated Limited Warranty may contain terms and conditions different from the warranty card in the product packaging, please refer to the PDF of User manual in this page.
- Playback of Ultra HD Blu-ray requires a CPU that supports Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) technology. Intel SGX has been removed from Intel 11th generation and newer CPUs, and support for SGX may be removed on new versions of Intel drivers or utility programs such as Intel SGX and Intel Management Engine drivers and firmware in the future. Such changes could cause these platforms to lose support for Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc playback
