Pioneer is on the verge of releasing their latest DVDRW drive, the 110 which will replace the 109. This highly antcipated drive is notable for 32x CDR writing (slow), and DVD-RAM reading (rare). In the limited testing done in this 1st look, we can see that it read quite quickly, and had high quality writes on the media tested.
Supports DVD±R/±R DL writing at 16x/8x
Supports DVD+RW/DVD-RW writing at 8x/6x *
Supports CD-RW writing at 32x
Supports bitsetting on DVD+R DL media (sets auto. booktype to DVD-ROM)
Reads DVD-Video SL/DL at 16x/12x
Can read DVD-RAM discs
Stay tuned to further tests to see how this drive compares to its competition.
CDR Info has put the drive through its paces. They were not thrilled with the CD writing speed which is slower than most of this current generation of drives.
DVD-R DL writing at 8X burning speed is currently the fastest DL writing speed for the -R DL format thanks to the DVR-110D, the latest release from Pioneer. This is the major difference between this drive and its predecessor, the DVR-109. Apart from that, it is a 16X/16X enabled drive and can re-write DVD media at 8X/6X for DVD+RW and DVD-RW respectively.
The DVR-110D is not the fastest drive on the market when it comes to reading CD media, due to its 40X max reading speed. With DVD media, the drive supports SL reading speed up to 16X, as do most of the other market drives, while the max supported reading speed for DL media is 12X. Pioneer enthusiasts will be glad to hear that the riplock feature has been removed and higher ripping speeds can now be achieved.
