    The support for overburning with DVD recordables is a plus while we would welcome any Pioneer's decision to offer booktype setting sometime in the future. The DVR-115D can be found at the stores for about $30-$40. Read more

    The Pioneer DVR-115 is another very decent driver from Pioneer. It lacks that killer feature or figure needed to establish it as a must-buy. And it'll be very interesting to see what the SATA-powered DVR-215 can do. But should you need a workable EIDE DVD writer, this'll be a very acceptable product. Read more
