Pioneer Launches New Blu-ray Disc Drive

With its new Blu-ray drive, Pioneer has taken a step in the direction of making video games as accessible and powerful as ever. It’s also a first for Blu-ray technology to be used outside of just movies, with gaming being one of the main beneficiaries

The “external blu ray drive” is a new product from Pioneer. It is a Blu-ray disc drive that can be placed on the top of your computer case. The device has support for USB 3.0, which makes it compatible with most computers.

Forget about multi-chip GPUs, PCIe Gen 5 power supplies, and the next generation of fast M.2 NVMe SSDs—what the tech world really needs right now in the year 2022 is a new optical disc drive, and Pioneer has delivered that in spades with the BDR-213JBK, a new internal burner that can burn data onto BD-Rs at speeds up to 16X, record to 1000-year-lasting M-DISCs, and play 4K movies directly off (compatible PC required). The BDR-213JBK also has a “PureRead 3+” function for improved data reading accuracy and a “disc resonance stabilizer” to prevent optical media from bending during high-speed recording. The Pioneer BDR-213JBK is now available in Japan for roughly 17,222 Yen ($150), but it’s unclear when or if it will be available in the United States.
