Pioneer continue their acclaimed series of dvd writers with the dvr-215d. Dvd+/-r writing speed is increased to 20x with double-layer writing speeds maintained at 10x and dvd-ram at 12x. As with the dvr-212, 111 and 112 series, the d suffix indicates that it doesn't write to dvd-ram discs, both drives will read dvd-ram discs. As well as buffer under run protection technology, writing performance is further advanced by pioneer's performance technologies. Disc-resonance stabiliser technologycontrols the airflow generated by disc rotation in order to minimise disc warping, which can occur when media rotates at high speed. A multi-effect liquid crystal tilt compensatoroperates at high speed - even on dual-layer/double-layer media types - to ensure precise writing to the disc by automatically compensating for discs that are warped or of uneven thickness. An ultra dynamic resonance absorberreduces the instability and vibrations caused by imbalanced or damaged media, maintaining the integrity of the recording and playback performance. Performance adjusting firmwareoptimises the disc’s rotation speed depending on the user’s application - for example, if watching a movie or listening to music, the disc velocity is reduced keeping background noise to a minimum. Through good r&d, regular firmware updates and sheer ubiquity, pioneer drives are the ones we often recommend as the mainstream writers least likely to cause their owners problems. Sata or serial ata (advanced technology attachment) is the next generation drive interface, following the traditional parallel ata (pata).
