Pioneer 107?
 

hey guys i was just checking out my computer online store and i came acrosse a Poineer 107... i was only aware of the 106/A06 before now. what is the difference between the drives? what are the advantages of the 107?

The 107 is an 8x burner. You can read about it here

i would buy an a06/106 instead. they r cheaper and the a07 will be hell more expensive. it will also be hard to find reliable 8x media for a while. so i would wait on it or buy a 106/a06.

I'll be happy with a firware update :D

hehe yea me to hull chipper

@ hull

long time no see :)

can they make a 4x burner burn at 8x if so that would be bad ass :D

It would also defeat the purpose of making an 8x burner and trying to sell it.

Well pioneer has shown us that an A06 can be upgraded with just a firmware to burn dual layer disc at the recent ces...

Liteon dvd burners can also be upgraded to 8x burning just by upgrading the firmware...

so...anything might be possible m8s

WOW a06 can burn dvd9 ? thats great and u can upagrde them to burn faster kick ass

DVD9? Really...?
 

Has anyone had the oppurtunity to try this by, say backing up Metal Gear Solid Substance or any other DVD9s? Wait a minute, I'm not sure I've ever seen DVD9 media (of course, it might be because I don't look for it).

There arnt any.

Well guys,

just read for some extra info Here

hmm. i dont think dual layer recordables will work imo. currently some cheaper DVD-rs have the same reflectivty level as dual layer DVD roms. Dual layer DVD-r will have even less reflectivity than a dual layer dvdrom, it will be like 20% reflectivity or something hell low like that. dont think any ps2 is gonna read it very well at all.

Thats good newz now if someone can get there hands on that firmware we wont have to buy a duel layer burner no more ripping moives :)

Just keep an eye on this page http://www.pioneeraus.com.au/compute.../firmware.html
