I have an old Pioneer BDR-205 that burns BR-R D/L discs at 10x, but the same media on this drive only records at 8x. It's a faster drive by any measure, but it's slower. Maybe it's just a media quirk of course, but it's kind of unconvincing given that the old technology is faster. My version comes with FW 3.00, you can surely upgrade to 3.02 if you use this drive for UHD. DO NOT UPDATE FW 3.03+ or you will not be able to use this disc for UHD.
