From the bezel's emergency hole, led and eject button; and the casing, it looks like Pioneer BDC-S02BK OEM.

Thanks for the thorough review, The Kipper.

Now this really interests me, as of now I do not have a BD ROM or writer, these review will be critical on my choices. I hope other that have these drive will chime in here when they get them. This is getting better everyday.

Is it just me or does this Blu ray ROM drive seem to write with funny jitter?

Sometimes it's quite distorted and other times dead flat - it also seems to show clear changes in jitter when there's a speed change. It could potentially be extremely good at writing with low jitter onto DVDs.

I'd love to know if it's actually a Pioneer Blu ray ROM in disguise and also how some lower speed burns (8x) perform.

I'll revive an older thread anyone ever find out this was indeed a Pioneer?

It has the exact same specs as the Pioneer BDC-202 drive, but I have no idea if it is a rebadge.

This one or the lite on drive is what I am looking at of course right now only going for a reader so the lite on is better on the money but surprised there isn't much talk about them yet?
