The BDR-XD05B is one of the world's smallest and lightest BD/DVD/CD portable burners supporting BDXL. The ultra-compact USB 3.0 drive can read and write to all BDXL discs1 including BD-R triple-layer 100 GB media, BD-R quad-layer 128 GB media, and BD-RE triple layer 100 GB media, as well as conventional Blu-ray discs (single-layer 25 GB media and dual-layer 50 GB media). The portable device, measuring only 5.2"(W) x 0.55"(H) x 5.2"(D) and weighing a mere 8.46 ounces, also has the ability to be powered directly via USB (no AC adaptor required).
The BDR-XD05B can write up to 6 x 2 on BD-R and BD-R dual-layer (DL) media. One BD-R DL disc can hold the same amount of data as 10 DVDs (single-layer). One QL disc can hold the same amount of data as 27 DVDs (single-layer). The drive is also backward compatible to read and write to most DVD and CD recordable media. Click on the "Specifications" tab to see all supported media formats and the read and write/burn speeds achievable for each format.
The BDR-XD05B also has unique features such as PowerRead, Auto Quiet mode, and PureRead2+. PowerRead can provide smoother movie playback when a disc has fingerprints or minor surface scratches. Auto Quiet mode intelligently adjusts the disc rotation speed to reduce noise (useful while watching movies or listening to music), and PureRead automatically adjusts the drive parameters to minimize sound glitches during music playback. Auto Quiet mode and PureRead can be configured as well as enabled and disabled with the Pioneer BDR-XD05B Drive Utility.
