Pioneer BDR-213EBK with BDR-S13JX, Internal / External 4K Libredrive on Firmware 1-03 4K Ultra HD 5.25" Blu-ray Writer (Libre-Drive Friendly). 

Embark on a cinematic journey: Elevate your digital entertainment experience today with a product that combines cutting-edge technology and excellent quality. The performance of the Pioneer BDR-213EBK with BDR-S13JX firmware 1-03 is of a very high standard. It is excellent at burning and reading discs. This drive is extremely quiet in operation and has read every 4K disc we have tested, all with no problems. 

🔗 Unique Libre-Drive Compatibility: The Pioneer BDR-213EBK, equipped with stock firmware 1-03, embraces Libre-Drive compatibility, providing a heightened level of adaptability.

🎒 Choice of Standalone or Bundle: Select the standalone Pioneer BDR-213EBK with BDR-S13JX firmware 1-03 or opt for the bundled version with the Vantec DX2 enclosure, which offers flexibility to suit your needs.

💾 M-DISC & BDXL Support: Experience extended data archiving capabilities with Support for M-DISC and BDXL technologies.

📀 4K Compatibility Assurance: Rigorous testing ensures flawless performance with BD100, BD66, and BD50 4K UHD discs. The BDR-213EBK with S13 firmware reads 4K discs within 2 to 3 seconds, eliminating the common inconvenience of extended seeking noises experienced with other desktop drives, such as those from Hitachi or ASUS.

📀 4K Playback Considerations: While direct "plug-and-play" 4K disc playback on your computer is not guaranteed, this model and firmware will reliably read your 4K disc, provided they are clean and free from issues like fingerprints or damage. For versatile functionality, such as backing up, burning, or copying your movie collection, additional software (not included) may be required. To ensure smooth 4K playback, your computer must have compatible hardware, including a 4K-capable motherboard, monitor, and components. Please note that the optical drive is just one part of the overall solution.

📀 Unofficial Playback with VLC: The absence of the AACS 2.0 Crypto Module does not make a difference, as unofficial playback can be used with software such as J River Media VLC & several others. We have successfully tested playback on some of our operating systems using VLC. However, for optimal results, we strongly recommend processing the 4K disc using third-party software like MakeMKV to create a file or ISO container better suited for playback on your device.

🎬 Impeccable Packaging: After testing, the drive is securely and expertly packaged, guaranteeing it reaches you in pristine condition. Our commitment to secure packaging reflects our dedication to the integrity of your purchase. All products are meticulously packed to endure the journey and guarantee safe arrival at your doorstep so you receive your purchase in optimal condition.
