Hi All,
I just recently purchased a Intel Core2 QUAD 6600 3gig system, and would now like to add a quality DVD SATA Burner, but not sure which to buy?
I currenlty have a IDE Plextor PX712A, and PX716A that has served me well on my old server. I would like to stay with plextor but open to suggestions for my type of system. When I look at plextor's website, and pioneer's website, I can't tell the difference between each DVD burner they offer. I also don't know, if I can change the BIT TYPE SETTING, on these new drives.
1. Must be able to change Bit Type Setting on DL disk when using ImgBurn.
2. Not sure if LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling will work on Verbatim Inkjet Printable DVD+R DL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My first suggestion would be to get the PIONEER 216 Sata dvd burner but you'll have to use MEDIA CODE SPEED EDIT to enable bitsetting.
PIONEER, $29.99

Or get a LG or SAMSUNG SATA dvd burner.
LG, $22.99 FREE SHIPPING

SAMSUNG, $24.99 FREE SHIPPING

I used Light Scribe until I noticed the label flakes off over time. Not so good.

Yup, you can booktype with that Plextor drive by using IMGBURN.
On IMGBURN go to TOOLS...then click on DRIVE.....then go to CHANGE BOOKTYPE
then click on the PLEXTOR TAB....then just follow what it says to booktype to DVD-ROM.

I always had to use modded firmware. -

You might find that you can change the booktype by using the make that goes along with the REAL manufacturer of your Plextor branded drive.
i.e. it might have Plextor written on it but really its a LiteOn / Samsung / Optiarc drive. -

But i really can't test it now because i am using "altered" firmware :P
I never really looked into it because it was just easier to reflash any of my drives and never have to think about it again. -
