Pioneer DVR-212

[squirt1000]

My trusty LG burner has just bitten the big one and ive just ordered the Pioneer DVR-212 SATA drive to replace it. I know Pioneer have a rock solid record where it comes to quality DVDr drives, Im just wondering if anyone else out there in GBATemp land has used one and what your thoughts are on it?

Thanks in advance and look forward to your comments

I have one. It has given me trouble with a few discs, so I'm a bit wary of recommending it. Could be the fact that the discs arent compatible with the speed of the drive, but not 100% sure on that because when I burn at slower speeds I still hit the problem!

Personally most DVDR drives are the same these days, and they are all pretty damn cheap.

Pioneer are great, I haven't had one die yet and we use them at work too. I need to buy another one some day for my server so I can burn dual layers but I already got one dl burner so meh..

I'm still using my old 4x pioneer dvr-106. it works great for ps2
