New readers are advised to read the original Pioneer DVR-110D review that contains the full reading tests.

The Pioneer DVR-110D returns with a better firmware. This newest firmware revision adds new media while improving the writing and reading performance of the drive. However, we feel there is still room for improvement. For example writing quality with RW media or with CMC Magnetics DVD-R 16X could be better.

At the time of this update, the price for the Pioneer DVR-110D on the e-market, Pricegrabber, newegg etc, is around US$45 for the bulk version. The rather low price, in combination with the great characteristics and performance, make the DVR-110D a very good purchase.
