The release of the Pioneer 108 is a milestone in DVD writing.


The features of the drive will leave you full of anticipation.


While DVDR recording speeds have previously edged slowly up, the Pioneer 108 brings us a giant leap with a drive being capable of 16x DVD writing to both the DVD-R and DVD+R formats. It also is capable of writing to CDR at 32x. DVDRW and CDRW writing is naturally also supported.


Compatibility with 8.5GB Double Layer media is included. This is the first Pioneer DVD writer that can write to Double Layer media.


Pioneer have added a number of new technologies to this new drive to make it write with greater accuracy and precision giving our customers the highest possible success rate in writing DVDR discs. The drive has been designed to cope better with media which may be slightly warped or unbalanced so whether you are writing at 2x or 16x you are less likely to run into any problems.


Until such time as 16x media is available (expected October 2004) Pioneer tell us that16x write speeds can be achieved on selected 8x speed DVD-R/+R media. We are awaiting their advice on this matter. All of our current range of DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CDR/RW media should function perfectly with this DVD writer.


4x Double Layer media is not expected to be available until January 2005. Until then Pioneer tell us that 4x write speeds can be achieved on selected +R 2.4x Double Layer media. We are awaiting their advice on this matter.


This item is sold as a bare drive. No cables, installation screws or software is included.


This drive is very new technology (only being released in August 2004), so you may need to update your DVDR writing software to include compatibility with your new drive.

We offer some options for software below.


You will also find below a great deal on Datawrite Grey 8x DVD-R discs only available to customers buying the new Pioneer 108 drive. We expect this offer to be very popular, so if you are buying the drive, do also consider the media and software offers below. These offers are ONLY available at the time you purchase the drive.


This unit comes with a 1 year guarantee from the date of purchase.
