Hi,
Ive got two DVR-111's, they are both the same, one is a black one and one is a beige one, but they are both exactly the same. I use Nero to burn and one of my drive's will burn at a max of 40x and the other only burns at either 4x or 10x.
Can anyone suggest any reason for this??
I have just been on pioneers website and updated the firmware's on both of the drives to 1.29.
Cheers

By the way i normal copy to both the CD's at the same time. I have one of the burners on primary and other on secondary ide.
I checked the link you sent re: DMA, and i have nvidia nforce3 parrallel ata controller.
Both my burners are set to : Ultra DMA4 - Ultra66.

Thats correct yes.
I have 2 Hard Drives and Two Burners. I have a hard drive and a burner on each IDE, and i just leave all jumpers set to "Cable select" so that the position on the cable selects whether they are master or slave.
I have the Burners on Master and the HD's on Slave.
I dont think it makes a difference what is master what is slave.... does it??

Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have said. It can affect performance of your drives if they're not set up right.

I'd say you have it like this...
IDE 1:
MASTER = DvD Drive
SLAVE = (Secondary) HDD
IDE 2:
MASTER = (Main) HDD
SLAVE = DvD Drive
Try that ^^ :-)
Edit: If you have a Dell PC, then put the SLAVEs to CABLE SELECT. It's just how Dell PCs work.

Hi :-)
Just from my experience. Pioneer drives appear to perform better when set/connected as Master.

Hey zebadee! Nice to see you posting here still. :-)
And yeah, to be honest, I think most drives perform better set as MAster.

Hi :-)
Bit out of it for a while. But back now.
I seem to recall that Pioneer actually recommended drive set to Master (as do Plextor).
In this case the fact that the drive set to master works at full capacity & the other set to slave doesn't. Would support this.;-)

Exactly ^^
The two drives are almost competing to run better I suppose.

Yeah my current config has both of the burners as master on both the ide's.
Does this mean that my main hd with the o/s on it is performing bad cos it is set to slave??
