Pioneer Europe has announced the release of their new 18x DVD writers, the DVR-112 and DVR-112D. Both drives feature 18x DVD±R and 10x DVD±R DL writing speeds and in the case of the DVR-112, it can write to DVD-RAM media at 12x.
The writers set new performance benchmarks by writing at 18X speed to write once DVD media (DVD-R and +R) and 10X speed to write once Dual Layer / Double Layer (DL) media (DVD-R DL and +R DL).
The writers will be available on an OEM basis in PCs from February 2007 and can also be purchased from our distribution network.
According to Pioneer's press release, prices are expected to start at about €40. I should also point out that the DVR-112D is available in the US. However, it is being sold as the DVR-1810.
