THE Drive for HTPC
- Pros: Actually spins down to 1x to play DVDs and CDs and speads up only when it needs to and only as much as it has to to match the data demand. DEAD SILENT when it needs to be, and even relatively quiet at full blast. Impressive rip speeds to boot.
- Cons: Burns at 20x but only reads at 16x? This was a replacement for another Pioneer that died after less than one year.
- Other Thoughts: Tried two other brand drives in the interum before going back to this Pioneer, which is largely identical except 20x vice 16x write speed. The other brands are fine for normal PC use, but they are noisy for actually playing a movie or a CD because they always want to spin at half or, worse yet, full speed. Hopefully this one will last longer than it's predecessor.
Another great burner
- Pros: Great burner. was able to burn everything at 16x with good playback quality. even was able to do 360 backups with ease with Memorex DL discs.
- Cons: um... it was replacing a dying Pioneer DVR-109?
- Other Thoughts: yes the previous Pioneer died on me but it took a bunch of abuses from me. that's why i am staying with Pioneer.
