    The Pioneer DVD-120 is ripping 1 layer up to 12x and 2 layer dvd's up to 10x. The liteon 166s rips the 1 layer up to 16X and single layer up to 11x. Not bad huh..

    Its a Pioneer A06 retail, but in Windows XP it reads 106. I flashed it to the new firmware on Pioneer's site and it made a difference on my speed in Nero.
