This going to be really crazy. People will pay outrageous sums to get a Pioneer drive. Even it it's a fake / clone.

Read here what czary2mary in the cdrinfo.pl forum posted about these drives. It's old hardware put in QSI cases..
The solution to this problem is very simple and has been known for a long time.
Since at least 2007, Chinese companies have been inserting old, used Pioneer DVD and Blu-ray drives into OEM Chinese QSI cases for the Pioneer DVR-118/218/119/219 and selling them as new. The issue concerned the DVR-106/107/108/109/112/116/117/216/217, and there may have been others. For Blu-ray, there were the BDR-206/207/209/212 and the BD-ROM BDC-207.
The same issue arose with the LiteOn IHAS B, where they were installed in newer IHAS CU/DU/EU/FU enclosures, as well as the BuRay LiteOn iHBS 112/212 and Optriac BD-5300S drives.
I remember when I received a newly purchased iHBS212 in China for review. It wouldn't burn BDR DL correctly and had 30,000 CD/DVD/BD writes on the odometer.
