The Latest DVD Writers' True Speeds

Pioneer DVR-110D

Pioneer, the major specialist in computer disk writers, has decided to stop selling its writers via traditional vendor networks, now focusing only on OEM channels. Of course, you'll be able to find this writer in specialized stores as before, but there's no longer a "boxed version" as such. The somewhat exclusive model with honeycomb design won't be manufactured anymore, either. On the plus side, however, performance has improved.

Pioneer has implemented what it calls Precision Recording Technology to reduce write errors by adjusting the power of the laser to the medium throughout the writing process. This system is essential for using rewritable media; with it, RW disks have a better recognition rate even after several uses.
