Pioneer BD Drive Models with Best CD read/ripping?
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:02 pm
I've heard lots of positives about Pioneer Blu-Ray drives. They might be a bit more expensive but many say they are uncommonly reliable and better than most at reading troubled CDs. Others say they are overrated; ymmv, I guess.
It probably sounds silly but before I finally have Microcenter build me a custom desktop for speedy 1080p video editing, I’d prefer to use one of these new Pioneer drives in a Dell Dimension 8300; Windows XP SP2. Pentium IV, 3G memory.
No problems using these 2020 Pioneer drives with Windows XP simply for CD ripping?
High Blu-Ray r/w performance is essential, but might anyone recommend one or more of these current internal models https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA ... ter+Drives or
these earlier models https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA ... s.Archived
for best overall performance, but especially for CD reading/ripping accuracy?
Also, Pioneer does tend to issue firmware updates more often than most other optical drive brands? If yes, why would this most likely be?
