I want to buy a new CD ROM drive to complement my new 24X Samsung Burner. I plan to use Clone CD. I live in India and I have limited choices in here. I want to be able to copy protected cds and general cds (using on the fly copying). From among the choices I have.....

Acer 52X and 56X
ASUS 50X
Creative 52X
LG 52X
Samsung 52X
Sony 52X

I want you ppl to suggest me which do I go for from among these. I specifically want to be able to do SD2 copying on the fly.

Why don't you consider a DVD-ROM instead? Toshiba and Lite-On drives skip errors quite quickly...

Search CDR-Info for more details since they are more CloneCD addicted site. :wink:

Try the Toshiba SD-M1612 DVD-ROM. My system came with one set with the 16X40X speeds by the firmware(x806) but it outdid any of the 16x48x DVD-ROM readers that I tried to replace it with (liteon,btc, and pioneer) so I just kept it. I recommended it to a friend who found it on the 'net for $39 plus shipping (about $51 total) and he raves about it. No software or cables there, but there is plenty of free stuff out there if you look.

does the Creative 52x fully support correct efm encoding of regular bit patterns?
