High-Speed Burning Could Harm Pioneer Combo Drives

Posted by timothy on Wednesday September 18, 2002 @05:18AM from the but-isn't-that-the-point-of-high-speed dept.

daffydory writes "Both New Scientist and The Register have articles about the Pioneer DVD writers (SuperDrives to us Apple users)." According to these articles, the drives "will bascially implode themselves with the new highspeed media that's coming out. Lovely. There's supposed to be a firmware patch to fix it, but it may be 'problematic' for users to install."

  Entirely off topic, but sad none the less. God bless Slashdot. Up to the minute news, even when reading entirely unrelated threads. :)

Moderators are borgs!
Can you believe that the comment above is moded as "Interesting"? The guy is talking about "burning" his drive - he is trying to make a joke f.c.s.

By posting that you just unmoderated it.

That's a good thing, because it was a joke.
