Pioneer BDR-205 12x Blu-ray Burner

Posted by Vincent On September - 30 - 2009

Pioneerbr205aPioneer will unleash its Blu-ray secret weapon in October.  That is the Pioneer Blu-ray player, BDR-205.  Skip the 8x and 10x burn speeds from the Chinese Blu-ray burners, Pioneer jumped ahead with the 12x burn speed.  The secret behind the technology is a 450 mW pulsed-operation blu-violet laser, which is significantly stronger than the 200 mW lasers that are commonly used in today’s Blu-ray players.  At 12x burn speed, its ability to burn data into the Blu-ray disc is about 54MB/s.  This is equivalent to burning 25GB of data in about 8 minutes, and that is really fast.  DVD speed can reach up to 16x and Blu-ray rewritable speed is only at 2x, which is roughly about 9MB/s to the disc.  The Pioneer BDR-205 is connected with a SATA 3.0 cable, so no more parallel clutter cable in your computer box.

The  Pioneer BDR-205 12x Blu-ray burner will be available in black or white version, and will include softwares such as PowerDVD 8, Power2Go 6, and InstantBurn 5.  The price is about $249.
