News of CD-R/CD-RW Drives

Hi

I have a chance of a F1 Yamaha 44x24x44 ide drive which is brand new and is £50 can anyone tell me if this is worth it and is it a good cdrw drive for the price

thanks

I was just browsing the ebuyer website and under their new products they have a Sony CRX300E 48/24/48/16 CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, does anyone have one or know whether it's any good compared to the other combo drives around? The price is about the same as the other drives too.

Hello,

Alcohol Support Team tested this drive, they find LG GCC-4480B cannot read the disc which is burned by itself's RAWDAO mode, but you can put the disc into another cd/dvd devices, they can read the disc very well.

It is really funny, we will report this bug to LG, let them know this problem.

Was in my local Best Buy and happened to look at the Verbatim VBT522452As that were on sale this week. A while ago there was a post here where someone pointed out that you could tell if the drive inside was a Liteon or an Asus by looking at the serial number on the box. It was said that if the serial number was a 12-character, all numbers one thenit was a Liteon, whereas if ...

Dzień dobry wszystkim (Hello Everyone)

You can read about so called MTBF ( Life of the burner ), e.g.
70,000 (about 8 years) Power On Hours with 25% Duty - that you can find about Liteon drives. LG ia claiming 25,000. What's your experince about that - I mean what is the reality about those numbers. I have also heard sth. like well you can burn only 1,000 discs with this drive, don't buy it. ...

I'm bored all, so I decided to start a thread on your expirience with Verbatim 48x disks. Please supply the following info:

My info is the following:

Burned and Tested on: Plextor Premium
Burned at: 52x (PoweRec speed of 52x)
Test Speed: 24x
Testing Software: Q-Check

I'm going to buy a burner and a DVD drive (seperate drives), I was wondering whether I should be getting the Asus's 52x24x52x or the Liteon's 52x24x52x? Also, I can't seem to decide on Liteon's and Asus's DVD 16x drives. I'm getting frustrated...please help me decide! May be a a list of disadvantages and advantages the drives may help.
BTW, I've already read the reviews on CDRlabs.
Again, thanks to those who helps.

I just bought a Samsung 52X24X52. I wanted the 8Mb buffer and it was the only one I can find. Amazing review. One of the best. Anyway it's white/beige and my computer is black. I want to paint it. What sort of paint should I use...I want it to be flat and not shiny.

Bring out the ideas boys. :lol:

Thanx.

Hi guys, I have a chance to get either a Pacific Digital 52x24x52x or a Micro Advantage 52x24x52x. They are both at the same price, and I think they are both the same drive, BTC rebagged.

So I think the deciding factor would be company reputation and rebate fullfillment (same amount). So what do you guys think:

1. Which company is better at handle warranty and replacement, Pacific Digital or Micro Advantage?

2. Whose rebate ...
