Well I have 1 DVD drive and 1 liteon 48x cdrw drive, i mostly burn cd images, so i dont burn from cd to cd. Everything is copy protected now, so you need to make a cd image

Actually, that's exactly what I did too ! - I consider it an ORIGINAL Pioneer - Made in Japan

I bought a DVD burner (Pioneer) and a CDRW combo drive (Plextor).

My Sony 52x CD-ROM is still in daily use. When it's time for CD to CD copy, it works well with Sony 12x/8x/32x CD-RW.

While I love my Lite-on LTD-165H and Teac CDW-540E, no drive can match the quality/speed ratio of my Plextor UltraPlex 40Max 40TSi (though my Asus CD-520 52X CD-ROM comes damn close). It's unfortunate that the newer drives are still lacking one great feature: accurate (above all) and fast DAE. I've recently read that Plextor may be ceasing production of the 40Max. I may have to purchase a couple "back-up drives" if that fateful day ever arrives. If I don't, my venerable Plextor 12/10/32S may miss his older brother.

I think they have ceased production of those drives. What they're selling now is just the stock they have in warehouses.

Thanks for confirming the sad news, Ian.

I'm not sure about clean DAE from CD-RW drives. Read this thread:
