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

That's weird. Not sure of the SATA models, but Dark Jedi recommended the Pioneer DVR115D to me, and I have never had better luck with a burner. It's light years beyond anything else that I've ever used.
