Test machine:
For this review we will be using a computer with the following configuration:
Hardware:
- Motherboard: ECS Elitegroup N2U400-A with Nvidia nForce 2 Ultra-400 and nForce MCP chipset.
- Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ (Barton) 333 MHz FSB.
- RAM: 1 GB Infineon PC2700 DDR
- GFX: ATI Radeon 9600 XT
- Sound: SoundBlaster Audigy
- Hard disk: Seagate Barracuda ST3250823A 250 GB
System set-up:
The Pioneer DVDR-110D was connected as Secondary Master and identified itself as PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D. DMA (Direct Memory Access) and autorun was enabled for all devices.
Software:
Windows XP professional is installed on the computer along with Service Pack 2 for windows XP. We will be using the following software in this review:
Installation:
We quickly installed the drive without any problems and here is a screenshot from Nero info tool:
Our drive came shipped with firmware 1.08.The only drawbacks we could see are: the missing Mt Rainier support along with the small buffer size.
Features and techniques:
8X DVD±R DL writing speed:
The Pioneer DVR-110D is the world's first drive to support 8x writing speed on both DVD±R DL media.
The Pioneer DVR-110D uses Z-CLV, (Zone-Constant Linear Velocity) to write DVD+R DL at 8x. The average speed is 6.84x and total writing time is 17:59 minutes.
The Pioneer DVR-110D uses Z-CLV, (Zone-Constant Linear Velocity) to write DVD-R DL at 8x. The average speed is 6.90x and total writing time is 18:23 minutes.
Introduction
Also, if Pioneer announced the 110 with the full specification and now comes with the 110D, one may question:
Is it the same material with just a disabled facility or two different drives?
Will we see the 110 in Europe?
Looks like a great drive from Pioneer, again. Please make fast a complete review of that drive.I agree.
Also the fact that it doesn't support CD+G is a negative point in my point of view.
