Keep reading for our full product review. Using Toast seems to alleviate the read error problems but produces a messy arrangement of files in the Finder, a nuisance but considering the alternative, an acceptable solution.ĭoes anyone have any insight on whether this is a Pioneer drive problem, a system preferences problem, or an OS X 10.8.We purchased the Asus BW-16D1X-U Powerful Blu-ray Drive so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it. There may be other file types that may be incorrectly handled. It seems to recognize and copy most file types OK, like '.dmg', '.pdf', '.rtf', '.rtfd'. I also discovered that when trying to copy my files back to my desktop, I get Finder can't read errors for '.mpkg' files, and a few random others, which prevent me from copying them back to my hard drive. In other words, all text contained within is lost. However, after looking more closely at the files, I discovered that burning in the Finder, removes any custom file/folder icons and also turns any Finder desktop 'textClipping' files into 0 byte files. In general the drive seems to read and write Verbatim BD-RE discs fine and burning right from the Finder seems to work correctly as most have said.
