This review is for the Pioneer BDR-209D bare drive / no useless and frustrating software.

1st a word on software ...
To simply play commercial Blu/DVD movie disks or any other video/audio file I use VLC (free). It works great for the beginner and has features to keep the advanced user happy. To play Blu disks you have to download and copy 2 additional files. Just do a google "VLC blu ray" search. It's very easy and straight forward. There are even detailed instructions on youtube for the really technically challenged.

MakeMkv and Hand Brake (both free) allow frustration free commercial Blu / DVD movie conversion. After getting rid of all that pesky commercial code and saving to my hard drive I can then play the movie (with VLC) from my hard drive or burn to optical disk. Another viable playback option is the PAID version of Power DVD. Power DVD is more user friendly than VLC and gives a no hassle option to play directly to and external device such as a receiver without being routed through Windows. There is a HUGE difference in sound quality when playing directly to receiver. Even the latest & greatest motherboard sound chips don't come close to an AVR or decent external DAC.

Now for the Pioneer:
The Pioneer works better than expected upon initial install and testing. I initially purchased an LG UH12NS30 Blu Ray player / DVD writer (first one failed within 25 days, replacement defective). The "REAL WORLD" read (Rom) speed of the LG was really lacking (~2.5x-3.5x) compared to Pioneer (~7x). The LG could not successfully burn a DVD (SATA controller errors).
The Pioneer burns flawlessly both Blu and DVD.
The drive is very quiet when playing / copying / burning.

Install: Take note that this Pioneer drive is 7.

My old LG gave up the ghost so I replaced it with the BDR-209DBK.
I have Power DVD 13 already so this model saved me some money. Blu Rays open quickly and play as they should.
I knocked off one star because it failed to recognize a Blu Ray that had a minor scratch, and the read rate seems to fluctuate quite a bit when making back up copies with Make MKV. I have not burned any media yet so I'll get back with you .

Update 04/05/14 The Blu Ray I tested with originally must have been a clinker, I bought Gravity and it was copying at a max of 8.5x. I recopied some of my existing Blu Rays and the read speeds are phenomenal. I changed my rating to 5 stars because of this.

Great little burner... installed in a Windows 7 machine, it was detected and drivers were installed immediately. Was burning within minutes... Burned 25GB of music in 16 minutes. Will definitely buy another for my wife's Windows 8 machine.

Having gone through a LG Blue ray burner that failed out after about a year I was looking for a OEM BD-RE optical drive that was built better and would also burn BD-RE 50 gig media.

This Pioneer BD-RE drive is the real deal! I have worked as a Computer Tech that is also is the shops hardware buyer since 1994 so I have a lot of experience with all computer parts as it's the most important part of my job.

Anyone can become a computer tech with a little hands on experience but knowing all the new hardware is a much harder job that requires a lot of research.

So that said I always do a lot of research and read HardOCP on a daily basis to see what's rated good and what's just o.k.

The LG was rated as a good drive for the cost but I have had bad luck with all LG products including here home Blue Ray players and will never buy an LG product again!

I had two of LGs home Blue Ray players fail with in a year and that's really, really horrible quality control. I took them both apart and was appalled at how cheaply built they really were.

The second player I bought failed within 7 months and had a ROM chip that actually cooked on the board.

So I went looking for a much better burner similar to the Plextor drives of the past. This Pioneer seemed like the best drive for the money being sold several months back and it was easy to pull the trigger and buy one for my personal full tower new build.

I have had great success with this OEM Pioneer optical burner and have not had a single coaster during the burning process.

Since I have gotten two comments on my review of this Blu-ray player, let me preface what I wrote below with the following. I think of myself as an average computer user at best and not a tech geek. Therefore I MADE SOME ASSUMPTIONS WHEN I BOUGHT THIS PLAYER. My own fault 100%, I admit, but it was based on a couple of factors: 1) My computer has a built in HDMI output. I then figured that since this cost extra it would be enabled to work with the EXISTING SOFTWARE. 2) This assumption was backed up by the first review of the product that said WINDOWS 7 (NOT Nero, Roxio, or other software) recognized the drive and it worked immediately. 3) Yes the first review says 'burning immediately'. I assumed that since it's a Blu-ray PLAYER/burner the proper playing of the Blu-rays went without saying.

So then, like I said below, the first reviewer was accurate as far as his review went. I was just trying to expand on that and point out that there were some details that were omitted that the average user (like me) would have liked to know beforehand. If someone was thinking of buying this and was under the impression that it would work with Windows 7 to PLAY BLU-RAYS as purchased, being that it's a Blu-ray PLAYER and all, they would be incorrect just as I was. My review was to help others learn from my mistakes, since I do appreciate and factor reviews that I read here on Amazon into my purchase decisions. With that said, my experience...

Please realize a few things. These bulk drives DO NOT come with software!!! (Hence the price) What does that mean? Well everything from the other review is correct with One Critical Exception.
