What may be the most error tolerance or error-correction DVD drive?

[coody]

Is Sony DVD+/-R 18X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive the most error tolerance DVD drive? It features the Power Burn technology to prevent buffer underrun errors. Is there any other DVD/CD drive better than the Sony DVD/CD drive in the error tolerance or correction?

Underrun protection is a common feature on most modern drives.

All DVD drives uses the same error correction schemes.

Who knows what any drives error tolerance is. Some drives have reputations as being "good rippers". To my knowledge this is a subjective rating.

SONY has sold drives from several manufacturers with their label on them. In general they behave exactly as drives with the actual manufacturers name on it.

There are some SONY drives coming from a joint venture with NEC. NEC drive aficionados claim this has lowered the quality of the drives from those that NEC previously built.

I know of no unique technology in SONY Dvd burners.

I do not use SONY drives or NEC drives. I use LG burners in my PCs and have a Lite-On recorder which I like, but I feel the mechanics on the drive stink.

I have no idea what your usage will be, mine is heavy, and hesitate to make a recommendation for purchase.

Well, it has no error tolerance info at https://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters.php?&orderby=Rating, that is important to a quality DVD drive.

Well, it has no error tolerance info that is important to a quality DVD drive.

If error tolerance is derived from the capabilty of the drive to error correct - which I suspect, all DVD drives are identical.

By the way SONY has two different families of 18x drives, built by two different companies - Optiarc (NEC-SONY) and Toshiba Samsung. The costs differ by diddly squat. Which do you think is the reliable one.

There are 5 different SONY 18x burners on the list you find inadequate.

Sony DRU-830A and Samsung SH-S182 are probably two of the most error tolerance DVD drives. Does anyone know these two DVD/CD drives well? Which one is better and why?
