Pioneer 108??

[simonwood]

Does anyone see the 108 in the near future, or know how to find out if it will be released anytime soon?

[dusted]

geez man, the 107 has recently enough come out. If you wait for the next product u'll never purchase anything.

[simonwood]

True. I just asked because I have no idea how long the 107 has been out.

simonwood -

I just purchased the Pioneer 107, and it really works well with Ritek and PioData (Pioneer's OEM brand).

Good luck.

oh deal looks like pionners falling behind no dual layer dvd writer yet

[MisterDVD]

dual layer writer???? whats the need for them anyway, any dvd9 can be compessed or re-authored to fit a dvd5, waste of time and money if you ask me, discs will be £1+, pioneer 108 wont be far behind anyway i dont think

[Chromedome]

I heard DL disk prices of between £5 and £7.50 each but understand that Ritek and others are due to wind up mass production this monthe so the price may come down a bit. My guess £3-4 each.

{HA 4099} Pioneer DVR-108 16x DVD+/-R writer with 4x Double Layer DVDR writing compatibility and 32x CDR writing compatibility. (More stock arriving Tuesday 10th August)

The release of the Pioneer 108 is a milestone in DVD writing.


The features of the drive will leave you full of anticipation.


While DVDR recording speeds have previously edged slowly up, the Pioneer 108 brings us a giant leap with a drive being capable of 16x DVD writing to both the DVD-R and DVD+R formats. It also is capable of writing to CDR at 32x. DVDRW and CDRW writing is naturally also supported.


Compatibility with 8.5GB Double Layer media is included. This is the first Pioneer DVD writer that can write to Double Layer media.


Pioneer have added a number of new technologies to this new drive to make it write with greater accuracy and precision giving our customers the highest possible success rate in writing DVDR discs. The drive has been designed to cope better with media which may be slightly warped or unbalanced so whether you are writing at 2x or 16x you are less likely to run into any problems.


Until such time as 16x media is available (expected October 2004) Pioneer tell us that16x write speeds can be achieved on selected 8x speed DVD-R/+R media. We are awaiting their advice on this matter. All of our current range of DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CDR/RW media should function perfectly with this DVD writer.


4x Double Layer media is not expected to be available until January 2005. Until then Pioneer tell us that 4x write speeds can be achieved on selected +R 2.4x Double Layer media. We are awaiting their advice on this matter.


This item is sold as a bare drive. No cables, installation screws or software is included.
