[X4U] Pioneer DVR-110 or 111?

[Kunga]

Pioneer DVR-111 can read DVD-RAM FASTER - 5x vs 2x on the 110. That  
is one of the main differences. The other is it's quieter and  
vibrates less. Get the 111 for sure. It's the newest improved model.  
You simply move the screws that are on the bottom of drive you have  
now to the new 111 before putting it back in the G5.

Google is your friend. Always Google a Model Number to find the  
details you want instead of asking here. I Googled "DVR-111" no brand  
name and the details came up as the #1 link.

"The successor of the popular DVR-110 series, the DVR-111 / DVR-111D  
DVD burners from Pioneer are expected to be released in Europe soon  
after mid-March. The device writes a full DVD disc in less than six  
minutes.

In short, there are two main differences between the DVR-111/111D and  
its former version the DVR-110/110D. In the first place, the upper  
chassis has been redesigned in order to further reduce noise  
vibration from the drive.

The DVR-111D adopts 5X reading for DVD-RAM, whereas the DVR-110D  
would only read DVD-RAM at 2X speed.

Finally, the DVR-111 still remains at a 5X speed for read / write  
with DVD-RAM which is the same as the DVR-110.

Pioneer also plans to launch a retail version of the DVR-111 series,  
dubbed the DVR-A11XL (XLA = beige, XLB = black, XLC = silver). It is  
likely that Pioneer USA, China, Australia and Japan will be  
introducing the DVR-A11XL (retail version) possibly at the same time,  
although Pioneer Europe had decided to stop its retail drive business  
since the DVR-A08XL. Both the DVR-111 and DVR-111D drives will be OEM/ 
bulk versions, which means that they will come as bare drives only  
with no retail box and software." etc etc specifications list etc
