Pioneer has unveiled a five-fold Blu-ray reader

Fortunately, the new drive also handles CD / DVD discs.

The BDC-S02 drive is Pioneer's first combo blessed with 5x Blu-ray read capability. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has lagged behind the world leader, a position currently occupied by LG’s 6 × reader. However, they shouldn't be ashamed either, as the BDC-S02 not only reads the latest blue laser format, but also writes and reads older discs.

To avoid various typos, the previous cache size has been doubled and 4 MB of temporary storage is now available for the device. The drive with a SATA connector will be available in black and white for approximately $ 300.
