I initially got an LG 4120B and immediately had problems with the drive intermittently not recognizing and *ANY* media (even brand new commercial DVD’s) that was inserted. It would just chirp and click with the green light flashing and then just sit there. Windows explorer would then change the description of the drive from DVD-RAM to a plain CD-ROM. After opening/closing the tray several times, discs would again be detected. Then all of the sudden it would stop again. I tired every firmware, but the behavior was the same. Very strange, since my 8520B CDRW worked flawlessly. Anyway…..
I thought I’d would get a Plextor (since I always thought they were the best) but now I’m reading in these forums that the PX-712A/PX-716A also have problems and should be avoided. ????
So I would like to ask for a recommendation…I’m just looking for a reliable burner that has good media compatibility…I would even be satisfied with 4x speeds at this point.
Thanks in advance!
