Review: Pioneer DVR-107D DVD±R/RW drive

Review: Pioneer DVR-107D DVD±R/RW drive 03/08/2004 11:21 PM
CDFreaks has posted another thorough review, this time for Pioneer's new DVR-107D dual format 8x recordable DVD drive. One of the most popular drives on the market right now, does CDFreaks think it deserves its success? Here's a snippet from the review:

The main positive points
The drive supports 8x DVD-Writing for both DVD-R and DVD+R and it support 4x DVD-ReWriting for both DVD-RW and DVD+RW. And it’s pretty fast, a full DVD-Disc is written at around 8 minutes and 30 seconds at 8x speed. And the writing quality is very good for most types of discs. The build quality of the drive also feels good. It also supports reading and writing of 99 minutes discs.

The main negative points
We think that many will find it annoying that no 4x DVDR discs works at 8x writing speed and that few 8x DVDR discs works at 8x. We did also expect the media compatibility to be almost perfect since it’s almost perfect with the older DVR-106 drive, but there were quite a few discs that the drive was unable to detect. Another serious issue is the CD-RW writing problems; Many drives have problems reading the discs written by the Pioneer DVR-107D and the CD-RW discs becomes unusable after few times of use. And it has problems reading less than perfect discs, especially pressed DVD discs seems to be a problem, another reading issue is that reading DVD-RAM discs does not work in most cases. And it has very weak backup capabilities for both Games and music discs.

You can check out the entire review over at the CDFreaks web site.

Wireless Connection To An External Hard
Drive 06/14/2004 10:47 PM
I have a fairly convoluted set of alternate backup systems that seems to get more complex every time I have yet another catastrophic hard drive failure (such as the latest, which occurred two weeks ago). Right now I have two external USB hard drives, one Mirra backup server, and an offsite service that scoops up data off of my computer every few hours and stores it in some hidden location. The second USB hard drive is because the latest hard drive failure (only a week after I had been told the machine had been "fixed") happened while I was away and didn't have access to the other USB hard drive that remained at home, or the Mirra server which only accepts backups on the local network. The offsite remote backup worked, but was slow and had limited space. So, I ended up with another external hard drive to save whatever data I could get off the old hard drive before it kicked it for good. When I got back home and went back to my old crappy desktop (which is here for just these circumstances) I discovered that the USB connections on this machine no longer work - so I can't actually access the data saved on the hard drive (though, I can access older data on the Mirra device). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get data from the hard drive to the Mirra device, so I'm basically stuck until I get my laptop back and it has a working USB system. With that backdrop in mind, it's great that Maxtor and Linksys are teaming up to offer a wireless way to connect to an external hard drive. Basically, they've created a bridge that lets an external hard drive connect directly to a wireless router (which, in some ways, just mimics what the Mirra backup server is supposed to do, though with fewer features). Either way, it looks like backup systems are getting easier and easier, meaning no one has any excuse not to have something set up these days. Of course, the next time my hard drive fails, I'm sure I'll need to pick up one of these new systems.

USB 2.0 External Drive with
Fingerprint-Based Security 08/21/2004 09:11 AM

Thanko Limited today announced a new 2.5-inch hard drive case dubbed the "Victoria 120," which uses a combination of fingerprint recognition and hardware level encryption in an attempt to secure your precious data from third parties. The model including a 20GB hard drive costs about $260 USD, so all I can say is "use sparingly."

Thankfully, Thanko has applied a bit of forward thinking to the product; it uses hardware level encryption, including the boot sector, so if someone were to bust out your hard drive from its fingerprint prison, they still wouldn't be able to access your junk too easily. As always, trust no one, especially us.
