So which dvd rw should I get from this list
? I would need the following requirements:
-it will be my only dvd drive, so it has to be a good reader.
-it needs to burn well with cheap dvd +/- media
-bitsetting capability
-dual layer would also be nice
Based off of your requirements, we can do the following:
BenQ DW822A - official dual layer potential support, official bitsetting, fairly forgiving writer.
LG GSA-4082B - No Dual Layer, No Bitsetting
LG GSA-4120B - Requires hacked firmware for partial bitsetting (DVD+R9 Only!)
LiteOn SOHW-1213S - No Dual Layer (potenially possible to overclock to LiteON 1633S which DOES have dual layer)
LiteOn SOHW-812S - No Dual Layer (potenially possible to overclock to LiteON 832S which DOES have dual layer)
NEC ND-2500A - No Dual layer without hack, and even then it's touch and go....
NEC ND-2510A - No official bitsetting support...
Pioneer DVR-107 - No Dual layer / bitsetting
Pioneer DVR-A07 - No Dual layer / bitsetting
Pioneer DVR-A07XLA - No dual layer / bitsetting
Toshiba SDR5272 - No bitsetting, don't think it does dual layer either
