Product Description
The DVR-S806 external DVD Writer supports 16x write speeds on both DVD-R/+R along with the option to write at 4x speed on Double Layer media.

With the facility to write 4.7GB of data to write-once media in approximately seven minutes, or store up to 8.5GB on Double Layer media, the DVR-S806 enhances a wide range of DVD applications including the authoring, editing and storing of video files, developing digital music catalogues, building image libraries and backing up data.
Amazon.com Product Description
Pioneer's DVR-S806 external DVD writer is capable of recording at up to 16x normal speed on DVD-R/+R discs and up to 4x with high-capacity DVD+R DL (dual-layer) discs via your choice of FireWire (IEEE 1394) or high-speed USB 2.0 connections. The writer can sit horizontally or vertically on a supplied stand.
The DVR-S806 is more than fast, however, it's also good: it's designed to create reliable, high-quality recordings with quieter operation than most drives owing to proprietary Pioneer technologies. With 4x recording on DVD+R DL discs, the drive can burn 8.5 GB in about 25 minutes. It also records at 32x with appropriate CD-R media and 24x on CD-RW. For playback, the drive supports its write formats as well as DVD-RAM (versions 2.0 and 2.1, without cartridge), DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, and audio CD.
Exclusive Pioneer technologies found in the DVR-S806 include Liquid Crystal Tilt/Thickness Compensator, Smart Laser Driver technology, an Ultra Dynamic Resonance Absorber, and performance-adjusting firmware that optimizes the disc's rotation speed and minimizes operational noise during writing and reading. The drive comes with a CD-ROM containing disc-burning applications such as Nero and U-Lead.
