I have a tower with eight Pioneer DVR-111Ds and using version 7.5.2.49 on Windows XP SP2. One drive is connected to the motherboard on the secondary IDE channel, which is able to burn at full speed. However, the other seven are connected to three Promise Ultra133TX IDE cards and one Promise Ultra100TX IDE card on their own IDE channel.
I have tried burning discs individually. I have tried DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs. I have updated the bios on the cards and the motherboard. I have tried making the drives primary and secondary. I have tried 80-pin and 40-pin cables. I have swapped drives and channels to verify the drives are working properly.
Nothing has helped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you update the firmware for the burners? Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. If you are trying to burn all the drives at once, the drives will burn at the speed of the slowest one. Whatca doing with 8 burners?
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

I don't know if two 10.000 K Raptors in a raid array, could feed 8 DVD burners at full speed. Although the cards and burners are on there own
ide channel. There still on one PCI slot and IRQ sharing.
If 8 disc's come out OK at a slower speed, without buffer underruns I would feel lucky.
The one that's on the MB that burns at top speed, isn't sharing and has a direct route.
