Hey guys, so I've finally decided I need to add a Dvd Burner to my rig.. as a lot of the work on my Uni course needs to be handed in via disc... I am not looking for a blu-ray burner, just a highly recommended DVD burner. I am looking for a reliable burner with as high as possible write speeds. All suggestions are highly appreciated.
I always buy the Pioneer Sata OEM one as it hasn't got white writing all over it. Edit: this one: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/pion...-dvd-cd-dual-layer-burner-with-labelflash-oem
Ok thanks man. Thanks man that's the one i'll go for EDIT: Have been having a look around and was wondering if anyone could explain the difference between these drives other than the price? Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD±RW 24x Retail http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-drw-24f1st-dvdrw-24x-black-retail Pioneer DVR-221LBK 24x SATA DVD/CD/Dual Layer Burner with LabelFlash - OEM http://www.scan.co.uk/products/pion...-dvd-cd-dual-layer-burner-with-labelflash-oem 24x DVDRW from Plextor the PX-891SA retail box http://www.scan.co.uk/products/plex...r-12x-dvddl-dvdplusrw-x8-rw-x6-ram-x12-sata-b Thanks again
Well , the Pioneer one is OEM so it won't come with any software, not that I have ever needed it. The Pioneer one has labelflash if you think you will ever use it. Other than that not much that I can see. I will wait to see what others know however. For burning software I found a create one on the net that I now have on my laptop. PM me and when I get home I will try and find a link for you.
Well - the difference will be supplied software, and to an extent, the quality of the drive. I'd always go for a Pioneer or Plextor or something like that if data integrity is top priority, and I would never (ever) write at the highest possible write speed. It's a recipe for bad discs. (Yes, this comes from years of mastering audio CDs, but the same principles apply...)
