Hi. I really appreciate all of the useful information this forum has to give, as I have read people's advice with great results in the past. I would like to buy a DVD drive for my comp., either external or internal, with the main goal of backing up and burning my playstation 2 and other video games, such as playstation 1, sega saturn, and the like. I als plan on using the DVD-burning functionality for burning DVD movies, audio, and data. Keeping in mind that high quality dvd-burn video games are my priority, is there a particular model, family of models, brand, or feature I should look for when making my purchase? Thanks.
As long as you have a good drive, there is no real pros and cons. See these threads for an idea of a decent drive... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/425454 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/440461 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/435502 ONce you've done that, feel free to post bac here before buying anything, if you want advice.
Well, the BenQ seems the most consistently recommended, and the price is great. However, I'm still unclear as to the differences between models 1620-650. Is is simply a matter of slightly increased speeds and storage capabilities? Also-is there any disadvantage to using BenQ is im in the US? Thanks much for help, links recommendation was great.
Basically if it's a BenQ 16*0 then it's a better drive the higher the number. Anyhow, I doubt you'll get a BenQ, as they are pretty much non exsistent after the company was sold. Look for LiteOn or Poneer.
