My New Favorite Optical Drive
2 of 2 found this helpful This is the best disc burner I've ever used. Burning blu-ray is new territory for me and that works perfectly. The quick play feature is a nice bonus. Most discs spin right up in no time; much faster than any other drive I've used before. I've burned close to 100 discs so far and haven't had a single one fail. I used Verbatim Life Series 25 GB blu-rays and Verbatim AZO DVD+R single-layer discs. Even the tray mechanism feels higher quality than equivalent Samsung, LG, and Asus drives I've used before. Sometimes the tray motor will get stuck on cheaper drives and they require a good smack to get them moving again. I don't expect that to be an issue with this one. The only thing I haven't tried is playing a commercial blu-ray movie, but I'm sure that'll work fine with the right software.
Optical drives are often considered archaic these days, so not many can justify the extra expense. Most computer cases made nowadays don't even have slots for them anymore! However, I believe they are still necessary for maintaining ownership over one's data. Namely, through the creation of cold archival backups recorded to disc. Hard drives will always fail at some point. It's just a question of "when." Relying solely upon cloud-based backups and streaming over the internet only increases one's reliance upon vulnerable infrastructure. I believe this pioneer optical drive will be a good long-term solution for those who want to take greater responsibility for irreplaceable digital creations and memories. Recordable DVDs can last up to 30 years or more with proper storage. The better made discs can last even longer. This drive supporting M-DISC opens up even more archival options that can potentially last generations.
I kinda wish that I went with the more expensive drive that supports quad layer blu-ray discs, but the cost per megabyte was hard to justify when single layer blu-rays are fairly cheap.

For Those Who Despise Smart Phones
Probably the last good dedicated MP3 player that doesn't cost over $50. The user interface works exactly like the Clip Jam, but has washed out colors instead of the easier-to-read OLED screen of the older Sansa players. Not a big deal once the music is going. Battery life is good - better than the other Sansas. Sound is good. It plays audiobooks. It has a sleep timer. It has an FM radio. It has a microSD card expansion slot. It clips onto clothes. I like it.

These are Good Discs
I have burned to all 50 discs at 6X speed on a Pioneer burner and did not have one coaster in the stack. The discs themselves feel higher quality than DVDs or CDs, probably due to the hard-coat surface on the record side. I expect they should last a long time with proper storage. This "Life Series" package from Verbatim is a great value compared to others: 1.1 terabytes of cold storage for under $50 as of 08/04/21.
