Both Pioneers are the same except for two things: the way they are accessed--via slot or tray; and the slot has digital out while the tray does not.

I myself prefer the tray-load Pioneer above.

unless you are getting one of those drive for testing, the ltd-163 is both cheaper and faster and better. cdrinfo.com confirms this. so does cdrlabs.com

I finnally got a chance to compare the both Pioneer DVD drives side-by-side....guess what I have found out?? The slot version (106s) is MUCH quiter than the tray!!! So is noise is of concern, definitly go for the slot version....otherwise, both are exactly the same.

thats interesting to know.
i always just assumed that the slot was a bit louder.

not that it really matters to me.

i wouldnt mind a little extra noise for the convience of slot.
but as its quieter... double bonus! :)

thanx mouse/man
