plextor 12x10x32 cd to cd with pioneer 105s?

[numlock]

i have a plextor 12x10x32 and i want to buy a pioneer 105s which is does 16x dvd and 40xcdrom. i was wondering whether if i bought it and put it on a separate ide channel i could burn cd to cd at 12x??

well since the plextor has burn-proof, it wont matter. The burner waits until there is enough information to burn and when it doesn't have any information, it stops. The pioneer is a pretty good drive though. I think it extracts audio at about 12x, dont know about data transfer though.

good question,
I got a TDK (rebadged plextor) for christmas and I'm waiting to go home and try it out with my Pioneer 105S

I'm assuming the answer to the question is no though.

Simply because the pioneer may only get 12x on the outer tracks. Once you go into the inner tracks it probably slows down too much to get a 12x on-the-fly burn.

Plus you've also got IDE bus limitations that keep the data from transferring fast enough to stay at a sustained 12x rate.

Then again I could be completely wrong

Just a fair warning ... I've owned a Pioneer slot loading DVD drive ... the 10x version ... and it crapped out on me just after a year ....

It may just be bad luck for me ... but you may wanna look into getting a different brand (perhaps toshiba) that may be more reliable ... again ... it may just be bad luck with me ... not the drive ... so dont take too strongly to this

I have a Pioneer 16x and it has been running fine. Although with fairly light use because it is on my other machine.
