Pioneer BDR-S06XLB 12x BD-RE With DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA
Blu-Ray Drive - Retail Black

Product Description

Most operational noise is generated from the air flow when the disc spins within the drive. The disc tray structure on the BDR-S06XLB has been redesigned to control the flow of air & smooth its circulation within the drive. Several tunnel-like air intakes & ducts are placed around the disc tray to realize smoother air flow. The inside of the drive is also smoother so the air flow isnt hindered & noise isnt created. Attention to these details allows for the drives operational noise to be greatly reduced. Even with the attention to these details, the disc spinning within the drive will still create some air flow noise. There are three areas from which air flow noise escapes from the front of the drive
- above, below, & from underneath. The interlocking/overlapping design works like a sound barrier to trap the air flow noise. The drive monitors how it is being used & will adjust its disc rotation speed automatically, meaning it will spin slowly/quietly for audio & movie playback, & quickly for data transfers. The sound barrier design that traps noise inside also works as a barrier to keep dust outside. With the enhanced mechanism, drive failure due to dust is practically a non-issue. A channel is placed on the front side of the drive to enhance the drive rigidity, which reduces drive vibration & noises. The same measure is placed on the bottom plate of the drive to increase the drive hardiness to prevent unnecessary noise. High speed disc rotation causes disc warping due to disc resonant vibration. This results in unstable writing quality, especially in the outer areas of a disc. With the redesigned top chassis, air flow caused by the high speed rotation will press the disc.
