For all Blu-Ray media burning tests, we used either Nero Burning ROM or ImgBurn. We created 25GB, 50GB, 100GB and 128GB ISO files from our HDD and we burned them at the disc. Max writing speed was set to the burning software. Reading speeds were performed with OptiDriveControl (for 25GB/50GB discs) and with QPxTool (for 100GB/128GB discs). Note that the Pioneer drive doesn't support Blu-Ray measurements so we used only the HLDS BH51N Blu-Ray drive to "measure/scan" the burned discs for burn quality.

According to the official specifications, the Pioneer BDR-S13U-X can write BD-R at 16X, BD-R DL at 14X, BD-R TL at 8X, BD-R QL at 6X, BD-R (LTH) at 8X, BD-RE at 2X, BD-RE DL at 2X, BD-RE TL at 2X, M-DISC (BD) SL at 6X, DL at 8X and TL at 6X.

Note that in order to get above 12X recording speed you have first to enable high-speed recording with the Pioneer BD Utility

and second to have the following supported media for the current firmware 1.03

  • 12X Recording
    • CMCMAGBA5
    • MEI_RA1
    • RITEK_BR3
    • RITEK_BR4
    • SONY_NN3
    • VERBATIMe
  • 16X Recording
    • RITEK_BR4
    • SONY_NN3
    • VERBATIMe

Below is the supported media list of BD-R format (6x rated discs) and can be burned up to 12X or even 16X. Note that even today its very hard to find Ritek_BR4 (still in development phase) or the other two ID codes (SONY_NN3 or VERBATIMe), nowadays Sony 6X BD-R media uses probably Ritek_BR3 and MKM (aka VERBATIMe) doesn't produced any more.

Lets start our recording tests with all the available media we had in our labs for testing...
