Works Perfect

Pioneer 20X DVD±R DVD Burner 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 10X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-R 32X CD-RW 40X CD-ROM Black IDE Model DVR-115DBK

Pros: I've burned 40 DVD-r at 4x, 8 DVD+DL at 2.4x, and 62 CDs at 8x with this so far. For all the discs I burned I used imgburn or Nero 6, I had no failed writes/verifies and no problems with any of the discs with my devices.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Be sure to grab the latest firmware from Pioneer's support page, the drive came with 1.13 but the current version as of writing this is 1.18.

Most Critical Review

Poor quality

Microsoft Xbox 360 Headset
Microsoft Xbox 360 Headset

Pros: When it works as intended its fine.

Cons: Breaks easily, cheaply made, high DoA rate(between me and 8 others we've gone through 22 of these since the 360 launch) by DoA I mean either non working or the mic is very quiet even when yelling into it.

Overall Review: There are better cheaper head sets out there for the 360 so I can't recommend this one.

Works Great

Pros: Works great handled all my media even though i normally don't burn at max speed but I did to test and imgburn verified all the burns I did do so noting to complain about there. The drive is fairly quite which is a plus for me.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This an OEM product so make sure you got a spare SATA cable and a spare SATA power connector in on your power supply
