Hello folks.
Long time ago I swapped the built-in CD-ROM drive with a burner. Now I plan to swap that with a DVD-burner. Having 6 times the data a CD can hold on a DVD spinds very appealing to me - great way to make back-ups.
I have my eyes on 2 drives:
Pioneer 106A and NEC ND-2500A
Both are DVD+ AND DVD- and well, either should do ... but the NEC burns a 8x while the Pioneed only burns at 4x so I am partial to the NEC devise since the price is the same except for peanuts.
So - can I use one of those drives, and does anybody have eperience with one of them?
Thanks in advance
Peter

DVR-106D here. Ive got almost the exact same setup as Evilrock.
Performs flawlessly under 10.2.8 and 10.3. Burns both + and minus DVD under 10.3.

I have a Rev A with the 106 and suffered some kernel panics since installing it which I never saw before.
I can't blame it just on the drive as I have made a lot of changes to the B&W around the same time.
Since 10.3.2 it has been behaving really well and haven't had any further problems.
I went for the Pioneer over any other since it is the drive which Apple ships with it's own computers so you have a better chance of compatibility. The only other choice for me would have been the other Sony drive which Apple uses.
If you aren't in rush for the drive I would wait a while as Pioneer have just introduced the 107 which burns twice as fast as the 106. So you can choose to either get the faster burner or get a great discount on the 106 since it has been replaced.
