Pioneer BDR-XS05 Overview

Explore your creativity and burn data on to optical media with the Pioneer BDR-XS05 6x USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD External Burner. This external slot-loaded drive features USB 3.0 connectivity and supports a wide range of disc formats, including large-format BDXL media. This drive is powered by its USB connection and can read and write data on Blu-ray disc at a speed of 6x. The bundled CyberLink software provides software tools for burning data and multimedia media playback.

A clear plastic panel on top of the drive is held on by four thumb screws; loosening them allows you to insert a picture under the panel and display it like a picture frame. Three design sheets are also included so you can customize the look of the drive. A stand is also included with the drive, which allows you to mount the drive horizontally or vertically.

This drive is Mac and PC compatible and comes with a USB cable for connecting to your computer. USB drivers are available for download on the manufacturer's website to help achieve maximum Blu-ray write speeds. Additionally, software utilities like PowerRead, Auto Quiet Mode, and PureRead 2+ are also available for download from the manufacturer's website.

BDXL Support
BDXL offers up to 156% more data storage capacity than a 50GB Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc. The BDXL format supports BDXL Blu-ray media (including 128GB Quad Layer (QL) and 100GB Triple Layer (TL) Blu-ray Disc). Once created, triple and quad layer BDXL discs can only be used in other BDXL drives.
Wide Blank Media Support
Pioneer drives are designed to be compatible with a range of blank media. Refer to the manufacturer's media support list for all supported media and the write speed that can be achieved.
Auto Quiet Mode
Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet mode monitor how they are being used and will adjust their speed automatically - high speed for data transfer, and low speed for music or movie playback.
PowerRead
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 quickly move forward to the next available data point, resulting in smoother Blu-ray and DVD movie playback. PowerRead may not work with all PC environments, please check with the manufacturer for details.
PureRead2+
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. However this is not 100% accurate. PureRead, when enabled, makes the drive reread the obscured data to extract the original music as accurately as possible. PureRead2 may not work with all PC environments, please check with the manufacturer for details.
CyberLink Software
The BDR-XS05 is bundled with CyberLink Media Suite 10, which includes PowerDVD, PowerDirector 10, and Power2Go 7. PowerDVD 10 delivers award winning playback software and will even upscale standard-definition content to high-definition quality. PowerDirector 10 allows you to import your home movies, edit them, and then author them to Blu-ray Disc or DVD, or upload them to social media sites. Power2Go 7 gives you the ability to burn your valuable files to Blu-ray (including triple and quad layer BDXL discs), DVD or CD media. With BDXL support, you can back up your files with fewer discs.
Eco-Friendly Drive
  • Small Packaging for reduced resources
  • Reduced power consumption on external USB drives which allows for eco-friendly USB bus-powered drives.
