Review: The Ultimate optical drive. - It’s expensive but without doubt the best machine on the market of April 2025 . I’ve tested seven high end optical drives archiving my old 3000+ cd collection and this series of internal / external by Pioneer is a beast . I’ve virtually had no fails , no matter now old , scratched, or damaged the CDs … This machine is munching all the discs which got ejected by the other optical drive I’m beyond impressed.

## Features

- Pioneer New/Updated firmware 2023 included.
- 【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, which checks all data for selected song, and Quick Mode, which checks data
- 【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.
- Included Accessories: Quick start guide (including application product key)

### ⭐ Very expensive and doesn't work: no Pioneer support in the UK
*by F***Z on 14 December 2024*

This is the second Pioneer drive of the current generation that I have tried. Both didn't work for the purpose of ripping CDs to my PC. While my Asus and LG drives could do Accurate rip on every CD with no frame errors these produce thousands on every track and every CD!! This issue has been known for over 2 years and Pioneer have not sorted it. Speaking to Pioneer technical UK they say that they have not sold DVD/CD drives in the UK for over 20 years!!
