As my CD--RW was becoming quickly obsolete, I had many different options and choices to go for, all where pretty similar in specification and in also in price, so I thought that any of the following manufactures: LG, Sony, Pioneer would provide almost identical products. After all they are all the same aren't they?
Well the answer to the question is that they are and they aren't oddly enough, if you are a rare user, then it shouldn't really matter too much, disk writing errors are rather low for nearly all the brands and disk recognition problems only effect a small number/types of media. If you want to use your drive on a regular basis, you will find Sony may begin to give you problems and also it is picky with certain disk types.
That is where Pioneer comes in, it's reliability is unprecedented, you are very unlikely to see any errors whilst writing. It doesn't discriminate against the disk quality you use, so you can get the mass bundled cheap quality dvd-r and expect that nearly all will work. Installation couldn't be easier, its literally a slotting in exercise which will take you all of 2/3 mins. Then once your system is on your ready to go, no software or additional setting required.
If you want the best, with no headaches and something very reliable then this is the product you need.
