   Recently I have bought a Pioneer BDR-XD07B portable Blu-ray/DVD/CD burner for $40. The blue laser diode's preliminary testing was a a few PS3 discs; this worked in a way, as it "recognized" the PS3 discs - rather than the drive responding as 'No Disc', anyway.
   
   I then got two different brands of 10 - 25GB Blu-ray rewritable discs (BD-RE) and inserted one of each disc to test the blue laser diode. The drive does recognize the discs: one Ritek (Smartbuy) and one CMC Magnetics (Verbatim).
   
   Need a candidate for testing BD-RE burning, and I think it will be the old-stash MST3K movie set I found on TPB /years/ ago. Of course, the 4TB scratch disk and the old homemade DVD/CD sets will be involved.

     The Blu-ray drive is fully functional. I can erase and burn data to Blu-ray discs.
     
     I erased one BD-RE due to a burning mishap (one video file was corrupt on the 4TB scratch disk), and I burned one BD-RE with two seasons of MST3K (old videos in storage from 2009).
