[chiliquin]

Hi all, I'm a new member.
I'm looking for a good DVD Writer for my files and data back up from my Win 2000 server. Any suggestion would be appreciated

Ditto. FAST & SWEET! And I haven't experienced any of the compatability problems I've read about from the NEC 3520 owners. (Now just watch. Some NEC owner will say, "What compatability problems?" Sorry, but I don't remember the post. If you really want to know, just perform a search...)

Whatever you choose, good luck!

The same can be said for the Pioneer, what's your point? Doing a search will reveal problems with the Pioneer 109 as well. They're both excellent burners, the NEC is cheaper though.

BENQ 1620 or if money is not a issue purchase the PLEXTOR 716A drive.

You read my mind
I thought right away as i was reading your post, "What compatability problems?" & then saw your little comment

Because i have a 3520A that has burned disc's perfectly with superb scans & playback I have had 0 problems with my NEC consider it 1 if not the best out of the many diff. brands of burners i have owned 8)
I don't know about others, all i can state is my experiance, and it has been great with this drive, not one problem

another war.......

either one, nec or pioneer are the best. plextor is WAAAY to expensive, and is not better.

What's my point? I'm trying to stir up a hornets nest, and I think I succeded!

PS: Welcome to the forum chiliquin!

Wow, a lot of options to choose........
I still don't understand the difference..... cuz I check the Plextor's products, there are **xxxUF and **xxxA, similar with other brand name such as Sony DRX-xxxUL, or DRU-xxxA, or DVR-xxx
Can someone explain, please
Thank you

SONY are all rebadged Liteons.

BENQ1620:

PROs:

BITSETTING RIGHT OUTTA THE BOX
GREAT OFFICIAL FIRMWARE SUPPORT (LS is just plain wrong here)
Speed patch can give you 16x ripping on DL pressed discs (and every other disc)
VERY GOOD READER (never, ever had a failed read on either of my BenQs)
Burns very well w/ both +R and -R (and I only use -R)

I've never had a coaster either...listen to those who have them -- not those who pretend they do, then bash it without evidence, then shrink away after.

Cheers,

Jie

The Pioneer 109 can burn DL -R discs (when the firmware update is released). I've burned about 250 DVDs since I purchased mine about a month ago, and not a single coaster.
