CD Freaks presents: Pioneer DVR-111 DVD Burner Review

CD Freaks is proud to present a review of Pioneer's latest DVD burner, the DVR-111, which Pioneer was kind enough to send us for review.  This DVD burner has mostly the same read and write features as its predecessor, the DVR-110D, but with some improvements such as better construction and DVD-RAM performance. 

Like the Pioneer DVR-110 series, this burner supports writing speeds of 16x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW and 8x DVD±R DL.  Our European reviewer, Dee-27 has worked on this in-depth review, which has just been published.  Despite offering similar features to the DVR-110 series, this review is still as in-depth as with previous reviews.

Dee-27 has put the drive through its paces with in-depth testing covering a wide range of read, write and disc quality tests over a wide range of different brands and types of media, including DVD-RAM and CD writable and rewritable media.  Each Disc Quality test is presented as a PI/PIF performance graph.

Thanks for the great review. This drive is a big improvement over the 110, particularly when burning @ 16X!
