I'd stay well clear of the later Pioneer models, especially the SATA ones like the DVR-215. It just refuses to burn dual layer discs, even with the latest firmware (i have 2 drives and both have the same problem). Failed to burn any, including verbatim, yet when i try the same discs in my external LG drive they burn with a 100% success rate. I would recommend the LG drives over the newer Pioneer ones anyday

Yes, the pioneer burners are very good. I've used them since the 102 model. I know have a 111 and a 112 in my pc (and I previously had the 102, 104, 106, 110, 111 and 112. I have burned hundreds of single layer discs and close to a hundred dual layers discs and I have never had a coaster. But I'm only using my pioneers in combination with ImgBurn and verbatim media.

That sucks. It's hard to believe.
What program do you use to burn? Are you using a PC or Mac?
