CDFreaks has posted a review of Pioneer's latest dual-format DVD writer, the DVR-A08XLA. Supporting write speeds of up to 16x on DVD-R and DVD+R media, 4x on DVD-RW and DVD+RW media, and 4x on DVD+R DL media, this Pioneer drive has the specs. But is it worth the money?
Here's a snippet from the review:
The most positive things with this drive is for sure the good writing quality with most DVD+R and DVD-R media types. 4x DVD+R9 DL writing speed is a welcomed improvement too. Beside this it's a quiet and nice looking drive. The main negative point in our opinion is the media compatibility, give us a break Pioneer! Some well known 8x media types that have been available for about a year still only works at 4x, and 16x media that has been available since long time before this drive became available is still not supported at 16x? Very disappointing!
You can read the entire review over at the CDFreaks web site.
