The Pioneer drives have become a little challenging to find. The latest Pioneer PATA drive was the DVR-118L. The last time I checked OWC was out of stock. Amazon just recently started stocking it again. They were out for most of a year. You can get it directly from Pioneer here: <http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Professional/Computer-Drives/ DVR-118L> but even Pioneer didn't have any for several months and only recently showed them for sale again. I think they may have done an extra manufacturing run of them or something. I found what I thought was a pretty good on them when everyone else seemed to be out here: <http://store.overstock-king.com/product_info.php?products_id=234> but I ordered three of them back at the beginning of May, and got emailed an invoice, but they've never shipped anything, my order status just shows "pending" and they don't respond to emails. My card has never been charged either, which is good. Apparently, they're not actually interested in selling anything. So, the Pioneer drive costs about $15 more than the Samsung or LG drive that are available at Newegg, but it is available again.
