TopTenREVIEWS

The Pioneer DVR-S706 external DVD burner placed low on our review because this product cannot burn a dual layer DVD. Every other external DVD burner that we reviewed in this price range has this ability. This product is also missing the ability to read DVD-RAM, CD-I and CD+G (karaoke) disks. However, this product will let you connect to your computer through USB and firewire ports.

As far as the speed of this drive goes, the Pioneer DVR-S706 is behind in almost every category. Most other DVD burners are about two times faster then this burner. Here are some of the write/rewrite/read speeds for this drive:

    DVD-ROM - 8x

    DVD+RW - 2.4x

    DVD-RW - 2x

    DVD+R - 4x

    DVD-R - 4x

    CD-ROM - 32x

    CD-RW - 10x

    CD-R - 16x

When we tried to contact Pioneer Electronics Inc., we did not receive an answer to our first email. After we sent a second email, we finally received a response. It took this company 7 days to respond to our emails.

Overall, the Pioneer DVR-S706 external DVD burner is over-priced for the features it offers, for a better deal for your buck; see our top choice, MegaSTOR.
