I bought a pioneer dvr 212D and put it in a pc using the p5pe-vm motherboard
(sata 1.5 Gbps). I tested two burns one with dvd-rw at 4x and another with
dvd-r at 12x they both ended in burn error in the middle of burning. There
is a SATA hard drive on this PC and it works fine.

I then put the drive into a different PC (compaq sr1520nx) and it burns fine
even at 4x, 8x, and 12X. Not sure what speed the SATA controller is on this
mobo (salmon k8s-la).

Does anyone know what may be going on? The spec for the dvd drive says
transfer rate is 1.5Gbps. Do dvd drives have more finicky SATA interface
than hard drives?
