Pioneer(" " " " ")

So which one is the best in performance??

 

[mehulved]

Samsung is a big no-no.
AFAIK, Sony DRU820A is good.

 

[thilina]

But,Which is the best?

 

[QwertyManiac]

Pioneer are the best if you can get one [ASUS are rebadged ones]

 

[paul_007]

Sony DRU 820A it is the best

 

[thilina]

People here keep telling Sony is the best cause they havent heard of/used Pioneer personally. I had a CD ROM long back and it was great. Now a member, Shiva007 I think has it and it was surely better than Sony man, worth the extra price as its not popular in India.

About models am not sure cause we only get ASUS drives at my location, not exact Pioneer drives. But it is definitely the way to go.

My vote goes to 'Sony Dg120Q(or something like that)'

 

[jz2linkinpark]

pioneer makes great products, and its DVD writer will surely live up to its rep.

 

[kalpik]

I would say "stay away" from sony. Their warranty is crap (if you ever need it). Better be safe. And yeah a sony can *never* match the quality of a pioneer.

 

[mehulved]

Well pioneer drives are grea argeed but what if something goes wrong? How many service centres are there compared to Sony? That's one thing to consider, IMO.

 

[abhishekkulkarni]

Without question , the Sony DRU 820A is the best ..

 

[djmykey]

I have LG H10N its good. no problems as of yet.

 

[JGuru]

Dont buy SamSung DVD Writer!!! Sony DRU 820A is a very good product. Mine is
Sony DRU 820A. I'm using it for the past 8 months without any problems. I have not
tested Pioneer. It maybe good. But I don't have any Pioneer service center in my place!!
So, if you want to buy a Pioneer DVD writer, first check whether you have any Pioneer
Service centers in your place!!

yup Jguru is right service is important
