The drive runs perfectly, reads discs, burns correctly, etc. I recommend it because it isn't that expensive and it gets the job done. Also, pioneer is a good brand. from Amazon.com Pros: Cheap, got it when it first came out with free shippingburns anything that you throw at it Cons: nothing really, i get a random coaster but i think its the media Other Thoughts: i dont see how people cant burn with thisdvd+r, never had a problemdvd-r, never had a problemdvd+r DL, this drive is mr.awesome, with verbatim Singapore dye. i have burnt over 100+ with this drive and its going stong with great burns, auto bitsetting is a plus for DL but a minus for dvd single layer but dvds are so cheap who cares stilll a new drive so the updates can only get better its a win win from Newegg.com Pros: Great Product. I have been using Pioneer for a while and the quality of it it good. Very sturdy. from Newegg.com Pros: Don't let the lack of SATA interface discourage you. This is the best burner I've owned. I've owned Samsung, Sony, Lite-On, burners and none compare to the performance of the Pioneer ones. Also, if you want to backup PS2, 360, PC games, Movies, etc., always go with the Pioneer burners. from Newegg.com Pros: Quite, excellent speed, Pioneer brand, burns virtually any type cd/dvd media :)This is both a PC & MAC compatible driveThis is a plug and play drive for mac computers as it is an OE apple shipping drive Cons: Didn't buy it sooner? from Newegg.com Pros: No problems with CD's or DVD's (single layer). Cons: DVD+r DL's have issues. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Price,and it works great! My pc runs Ubuntu 9.04 and it works perfect with that.not 1 wasted dvd or cd yet:) Cons: None Other Thoughts: Buy it! from Newegg.com I dont think this particular burner has not been out for more than a month tops. I bought it within a week of it debuting here on newegg and I know I have not had it for more than a month. So dunno what the guy who says he's had it for 3 months is referring to, maybe the Pioneer drive 116dbk, but that drive and Pioneer in general has always had a very good reputation which is why I bought this when it was new with no reviews cause I've always heard Pioneer IDE drives were extremely reliable. Mine has been really great, I made a good 20 dvd burns on the first day and no problems. from Newegg.com Pros: Pioneer makes one of the best DVD burners around. As a bonus it is also excellent at reading discs. from Newegg.com pros: quite, excellent speed, pioneer brand, burns virtually any type cd/dvd media :)this is both a pc & mac compatible drivethis is a plug and play drive for mac computers as it is an oe apple from Newegg.com
