Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I first bought this drive, I was incredibly bummed that it appeared to be hopelessly slow - it's a 6x drive, so why does it only seem to read my BDs at 2x? What's with this unnecessary cap?? Turns out, though, that there is an easy fix. Pioneer apparently has this drive set to "Quiet Mode" from the factory. To change this, go to the Pionner website and download the Drive Utility. This will allow you to change the drive to "Performance Mode", uncapping the drive to run at the 6x speed maximum. Now all of my BDs happily read at up to 6x! Couldn't be happier with the drive :)
