High-Speed Burning Could Harm Pioneer Combo Drives

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Uh no, the Superdrive is Pioneer's DVD-R/CD-RW drive. The 1.44mb and 120MB floppy drive is the Superdisk.
