Everyone should stay away from these Pioneer burners unless they still want to have multiple drives to do things. I work for a company who has blu-ray technology, and we have the Panasonic drive, the Panasonic can not only read/write DVD (and DVD-RAM) and Blu-ray but it can read/write CD's as well.
This excuse that there is no room for a CD laser is probably true, and thats why Panasonic uses whats called a "two-wave" laser that handles both the DVD and CD read/write with a single laser. This makes the drive able to have both Blu-ray, DVD, and CD. It's clearly better than this Pioneer.
