Pioneer unveiled its new internal UHD Blu-ray drive which comes withUltra HD Blu-ray playback support as well as BD/DVD/CD writing. While most people don’t bother with an optical drive in their systems these days, being able to play and burn all sort of Blu-ray drives might change that. The BDR-21UBK also comes with a very reasonable price of just $129.99.
The new BDR-211UBK supports Ultra HD Blu-ray playback using the bundled CyberLink PowerDVD14 software, but there’s a little catch. For the DRM to work, the OS has to be Windows 10 and it also looks like it requires a Kaby Lake CPU.
Supported burning speeds are up to 16x for BD-R single-layer discs, 14x for dual-layer discs, and 8x for triple-layer discs. The drive also supports quadruple layer (QL) discs with up to 128GB capacity, but the company didn’t disclose the performance of those discs. Region codes are still a thing for optical mediums, and the BDR-211UBK allows users to change the region of the drive up to five times.
There is a list of further features that should aid with smoother playback, even on dirty or damaged discs, as well as decreased noise levels during playback.
