Pioneering price for an antique DVD Review of Pioneer DVR-212D by suddenend Advantages: Very, very cheap; SATA; Fast; Reads/Writes most DVD formats Disadvantages: Only comes in beige; No DVD-RAM writing (Read Only) ...Make: PIONEER Model: DVR-212D Specification: DVD±RW (±R DL) drive - Internal - Serial ATA - Read speed: 40x (CD) / 16x (DVD)/ 5x (DVD-RAM) - Write speed: 40x (CD) / 18x (DVD±R) / 10x (DVD±R DL) - Rewrite speed: 32x (CD) / 6x (DVD-RW) / 8x (DVD+RW) REVIEW I bought my Pioneer DVR-212D, a few days ago for just £11 inc. VAT, BRAND NEW, from eBuyer.com. I hope you agree that's an incredible price for a S-ATA DVD rewriter. I only really needed the Pioneer drive to aid in testing the functionality of another more current P-ATA DVD-RW drive that was exhibiting some very odd behaviour that I wasn't absolutely certain was the drive's fault, so I wasn't too fussy about it being highly specified. Having said that the pioneer handles all manner of read/write formats with the exception of writing to DVD-RAM and writing Lightscribe data. Obviously...

Pioneer DVR-108 - the best DVD drive now! Review of Pioneer DVR-108BK 16x DVD+/-RW Drive by xXxLT Advantages: Can burn Dual Layer (8.5GB) media (4x speed), 16x speed for DVD+-R, CD-RW 32x24x40x Disadvantages: Regions can be changed 5 times ...Pioneer DVR-108 16x DVD+/-RW is one of the best or the best DVD+-RW drive on the market. Pioneer's products has good reliability. With this drive you can burn 4.7GB data in about seven minutes. It's also supports writing Dual Layer media - 8.5 GB discs at 4x speed. If you're planing to buy DVD+-RW drive than choose Pioneer DVR-108. Pioneer name means quality. This drive isn't very fast, but burning and reading quality is excellent. It uses RPC-2 region protection. You can change region 5 times and then you will be locked on the last one. This is only one disadvantage of this drive, but now almost all DVD drives have protection from changing regions. I hope i help you to decide buy or not this great drive. I guarantee 99% that you will be satisfied your decision to buy this device.... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average somewhat helpful		somewhat helpful 30.10.2004
dvd pirates must have Review of Pioneer DVR 111D by mebigbadjoe Advantages: fast reliable and cheap Disadvantages: problems burning cheaper discs ...i have been a loyal customer of pioneer writers for a while now. the Pioneer DVR 111D is a must have for anyone not wanting to spend a fortune on a dvd writer without compromise on reliability. i have used this now for 3 weeks and have not had any failed discs or bad burns. im using nero 7 and ive tried it with other programs such as clone dvd and dvd shrink. for most discs i purchase ones that contain the go5 dye and burn at 8 speed. cdrs not a problem have burnt all mine at 32 speed and have had none fail. recomend this drive for price, compatibility and suprisingly it is extremely quiet.. good value for money recomend you buying one if you need to backup, copy etc.. lots of info a week....

It seems to burn OK at 4x, 6x and 8x. Funny thing is that it does consistently... more	pioneer dvr550hxs 0 Reviews DVD recorder / HDD recorder with digital TV tuner
pioneer dvr-115 1 Review I had been without a DVD-RW drive for a few weeks since my last drive gave up. The first thing I noticed when looking for a new one was how cheap they are now.
