Hello,

I trying to get hold of a couple of DVD burners for work. The company I
work for builds computers (amongst other things) and we have a load of the
Panasonic SW-9571 drives in stock and they are nice and cheap at 62 quid
each. I'd prefer to get the Pioneer 106 but we don't have a Pioneer account
so this would have to purchased externally (more paperwork to justify the
extra expense).

Can anyone recommend the Panny drive? I can't seem to find a great deal of
info via google. I know it's only a 2x drive but is that the only drawback?
I noticed that it does write DVD-RAM, does this mean it's a cartridge type
device rather than a standard drawer?

Thanks for any info.

Dave.

Dozens of DVD-r/rw burns later - rock solid and and more tolerant
towards cheaper media than Pioneer.
ZERO coasters on Imation/Verbatim/Optodisc/CompUsa/Memorex.
Burns CompUsa and Memorex @ 2X which A-05 could only burn @ 1x

Support for catridged/non-catridged DVD-RAM is the icing on the cake.
Just like carrying a huge floppy (9.4GB ~$10) - safest optical media
for data backups. I even share my DVD-RAM drive across the network.
Try that with DVD+/-RW

I got a few non-catridged Maxell 4.7GB for $4each at walmart.
