The A04 is a 2X maximum DVD-R format writer. The A06 is a 4X maximum dual format, -R and +R writer.

At this point in time, Pioneer does not offer the best bang for the buck, unless you are considering a used drive. A Lite-On dual format 4X drive can be had for around 100 USD brand new.


You might wish to check the Pioneer web site or http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.

Id'd get the Lite-On. However, I have the A05 and have never had an issue. But the A05 only does DVD-R it wont do +.
