Internal Blu-ray Writer

The Pioneer BDR-206 is an internal optical drive that writes BD-R media at 16X and BD-R DL at 12X. It reads BD-ROM at 8X and handles DVD and CD formats up to 16X and 40X respectively. The drive fits a standard 5.25-inch half-height bay and connects via Serial ATA/150.

Archives and legacy media

This drive suits users who need to create high-capacity Blu-ray backups or author HD video discs for long-term storage. It also reads and writes most DVD and CD recordable formats. Builders without a 5.25-inch bay or those who only require USB external storage should consider other options.

12X BD-R DL write speed

The maximum write speed for dual-layer BD-R media is 12X, yielding 50Gbytes per disc. Single-layer BD-R writes at 16X for 25Gbytes capacity. This figure determines whether the drive meets your archival throughput requirements.
