Hi,

I was finally able to get some Taiyo Yuden discs in the Netherlands (100 for 45 euro), but I am not very pleased with them so far. I tried two discs and both reached speed 3?x and then dropped again, at the end of the disc only reaching 39x instead of 52x with other discs (Platinum, Philips) on my LiteOn LTR-52327S with firmware QS0B. The discs were sold as 52x (and are identified like ...

Hi. Everyone in here may hate me after I post this. :D I thought about just keeping the 48x24x48x LG/Hitachi CD-RW that came with my Dell Pentium 4. All I really need is a CD-RW to back up Word documents and I guess a 52X32x52 CD-RW wouldn't access the Word documents that much faster? I don't do music or videos on my pc. I noticed my cd ...

Hi all, just getting ready to order an Optorite DD0401 burner (the new 8x DVD+/-R/RW drive, $153 @ newegg), and was wondering: what's is the best type of CD-R's for HD-BURN? TY? Ritek? Something else? I'll be ordering blanks from meritline most likely...although I'd probably end up getting some locally (Maxell=Ritek, right?)...

Just wondering what venue you buy your media from and from where be it on-line or B&M and why you like it (or the store) more.

I can't beleive this. Some of you may remember about a month ago I asked for help on an Artec burner. It crapped out on me and I ended up buying an MSI CR52-M Well that just died on me and I am 1 day outside of the limit for returning it back to NewEgg!!!! :x SO now I have to RMA the drive back to MSI. ...
