Review: Der Pioneer BDR-S13U CD/DVD/BD Writer ist von hervorragender Qualität. Durch die eingebaute Fehlerkorrektur treten bei digitalisierten/kopierten Musik-CDs keine Lesefehler auf. Nachdem ich über 400 Musik-CDs als MP3 digitalisiert habe, kann ich die Vorzüge der Fehlerkorrektur bestätigen. Dieses Laufwerk kann ich guten Gewissens empfehlen!
Review: It does better than a lot of other hardware at reading questionable disks but some blurays have proven to be highly unreliable for backup storage. Nothing will read them any more. I like it but don't expect miracles.

## Features

- 【Equipped with an audio CD playback quality checking function】 This product is equipped with an audio CD checking function that checks the playback quality of the audio CD being played and displays it at one of four levels (A to D). If the quality level is poor (C or D), the function displays methods for dealing with the issues, including changing the unit settings. You can choose from Full Mode,
- 【The latest version of PureRead 4+ and RealTime PureRead】 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.
- 【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).
- 【Custom Eco function helps reduce 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 drives 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.
- 【All-black housing with vibration and noise reduction coating】 The dignified all-black exterior and interior of the body, which gives it the presence of a premium model, further enhances the drives performance with a special coating to reduce vibration, improve heat dissipation, and help suppress the lasers diffuse reflection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***P on 27 January 2024*

This Pioneer internal CD/DVD drive fits into a desktop PC, either to replace an existing drive or as an additional one. It is compatible with windows 8.1,10 and 11. The fitting is fairly simple and clear instructions are included in the instructions booklet. Once Installed the cyberlink media suite can be downloaded and installed on the PC. The following software can be downloaded for free, PowerDVD, Power2Go, Labelprint, PowerDirector, AudioDirector, ColourDirector, PhotoDirector and Pioneer BD Drive utility. Some cool features, Pureread 4+ uses an algorithm to minimise data errors when importing data called ripping. This same software is used for audio playback using the original CD data. This unit is also compatible with ultra HD blu-ray. The design of the front panel looks good and it has a small hole on the left for emergency release of the tray. To conclude a very good unit with software that works very well.
