Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

The DVR-A07XL is Pioneer's first 8x8 dual format writer, meaning it is capable of writing at 8x speed on DVD-R discs whose standard is being ratified in the DVD Forum and +R discs that are designed for this recording speed. The new drive also records high-speed DVD-RW and +RW discs at up to 4x speed, and CD-R and CD-RW discs at up to 24x speed. Pioneer engineers focused on improving the writing/recording quality and reliability for high-speed writing. New technology accommodates for variances in blank media.

It was high time I backed up all my data and I was not about to sit through the massive amount of time it would take to do it on CDs. A friend of mine bought a 4x burner, but even that seemed too slow for my taste, so I decided I had to go with the 8x.

I have had good experiences with pioneer products in the past, so I stuck with them. The price was right and it looks better with my case than a beige one would anyway.

So far I have not burned any coasters. Granted I have not made tons of discs with it yet, but so far so good. The only odd thing I noticed was that even though I used 8x media, I could not select an 8x writing speed. Despite this, it seemed to burn a lot faster for a full DVD of data than my friend's 4x did. Keeping that in mind, I'm not bothered.

As of yet there is only one disc that this drive has not been able to read. The CD looked ok, but none of my other drives could read it either, so I don't think it's a problem with the Pioneer drive.

I already had burner software, so I cannot speak for the quality of the application provided.
All in all I'd say this drive is a good deal.

I have had issues with this drive not reading my region 1 dvds. Much more so with dvdr and cdr. I have to replace it 3x but then I gave up and bought another brand. Writing dvds is buggy as it gave me 5 coasters out of 10 I attempted to record.

Look somewhere else.

have not had any... - Reviewed on 2004-07-01
