Can people give suggestions on what the best DVD +-R Drive is. I need a new one as my old one fails too often at high speeds. I mostly burn high amounts of data and the occasional movie (Just a backup if I don't get a chance to watch it). This will probably go into a Dell Dimension 8300 (If model even matters these days) Extra green rep if you either provide a product link to ebay.co.uk or komplett.ie Budget Up to £100 (€150) Cheers
NEC DVD ReWriter ND4570 16x Dual Layer & Dual Format I have the above and its pretty darn good, never failed on me but I havent had it that long, seems pretty able.
I actually have an 'Emprex' right now (cheapest deal at the time) but I've used NEC before and have been quite satisfied. http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=314090 user reviews: http://www.pricegrabber.com/rating_getprodrev.php/product_id=13841402/id_type=M best place in USA, addtl reviews & very detailed specs: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1649374&Tab=11&NoMapp=0
Ill probably go for the 4570 The fact that I was replacing an NEC (ND-1100A) was the only thing that put me off because its so bad but I imagine its just cause its cheap (Its only a + for Gods sake) Its between these three http://komplett.ie/k/kcp.asp?sku=315531&sku=314090&sku=323517 Anyone have that Plextor?
I am using a Sony 16X +/- RW Drive right now, i am very much satsified with it. But, i think Sony DVD Drives are not that popular in US reigon. Most of my firends there have LiteOn drives and they are happy with them as well.
