Page 1 of Pioneer DVR-109 DVD+/DVD- RW Writer and NEC ND3520 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer(4x) Writer (OEM)

Hi.

I`ve just bought a Pioneer DVR-109 DVD+/DVD- RW Writer
and i carried out a test against my NEC ND3520 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer(4x) Writer (OEM) for reading and burnig using Nero

I used the same media on both, which was Datawrite Titanium (8x) DVD-R.

The outcome was it took the Pioneer DVR-109 25 minutes to read and burn the dvd, and it took the NEC ND3520 15 minutes to read and burn.

Any suggestions why it had taken the Pioneer 10 minutes longer, this unit
is brand new, where the NEC ND3520 is 6 months old.

Could depend on how the two drives are wired up are they both on the same IDE cable?,
then theres firmware, settings, software ect...Could be any of these. :)

I also bought a 109 recently, found THIS SITE really useful.

The latest firmware upgrades are there together with links and instructions on how to upgrade your 109 to an A09.

This gives faster ripping speeds and the ability to use Pioneers "Quiet Drive Utility" 8)
