During music playback, the PureRead2+ addition adjusts the drive parameters to minimize sound glitches.
PowerRead provides smoother playback when a movie disc has fingerprints or scratches. Many people would care about the noise while watching BD/DVD movies or listening to CD music on Mac, this Blu-ray drive has considered this for a better experience. It is powered by a 3.0 USB connection, but if you don’t have a 3.0 USB connector you can use the 2.0 USB instead. Pioneer BDR-XD05B is one of the smallest & lightest Blu-ray drives with only 0.16 ounces. Very cool looking and completely compatible with Mac. This is a rock-solid drive with a diamond-shaped design and a big blue light on the top. Its USB 3.0 interface lets you write data faster than USB 2.0 – takes only 10 minutes to backup 25 GB of data.
For burning disc, the ASUS BW-16D1X-U has a super-fast 16X writing speed. Heavy Blu-ray users are better to select a full-height drive than a less expensive slim drive because a full-height Blu-ray drive tends to wear out slower.
