I'm looking to purchase an internal Pioneer but I can't make out the difference between the available models. What is the difference between Pioneer 212, BDR-213, 2213, BDR-S13UBK, BDR-S13U-X. My understanding is that they all read at the same speed (BD100 at 90 minutes). Is my understanding wrong, are some faster, are some more reliable?
Can someone please enlighten me as to why I would choose any of the four. Thank you.
not sure why this was asked in 3 places email here and reddit but
i found the xd08 to be the most reliable and durable actually had all of those other pioneers die in the mail even with 2 inches of foam and 2 inches of bubble wrap and being double boxed.
the are pretty much functionally the same the 212 and 213 and s13 just use slightly better components and more sound dampening
but sadly all drives are gone for now i will get more pioneers but very limited amounts only way to get them is to follow here and get my paypal links in an email so order asap when they go up
