My Dell Dimension 8300 came with an NEC ND-1100A DVD+RW which I'm upgrading to an ND2500ABLK so I can burn both DVD+R and DVD-R. I was going to leave the ND-1100A in the computer as a source drive for copying DVD's but I understand a DVD-Rom would be a better option here. I'm not quite clear on why this is since the ND1100A seems to play everything fine. What's the advantage of using the DVD-Rom drive?
Thanks,
Gary

I would keep the dvd+rw since it would be able to read your burned dvds better than a dvd-rom drive.The only advantage is with a dvd-rom drive the ripping speed would be a little faster with pressed dvds.

should I configure and jumper the ND2500 (reads and burns DVD+R and DVD-R) as the master and the ND1100A as the slave or will it make any difference?
