Basiing it on performance and price...basically getting more bang for your buck, im new to the who dvd burning deal so any help from vets would be great im goin to get a burner but wanting to know best things to look for and possibly a list of personal favorites thanks
If performance is your number 1 criterion, then go Plextor. ($125ish) If price is your number 1 criterion then consider NEC, BENQ, or LG ($50ish)
i found a plextor for round 65 bucks, good deal? when comparing all the #s though i say that a samsung for 20 bucks cheaper had equivalent or better speeds?
I would have to agree with LABOY, Plextor #1, NEC #2, and LITE-ON #99. Check this out, it's an fairly in depth look at some of the most popular brands http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61
heres the plextor one i found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131329 heres the samsung one i found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827151064 kinda need to know which one to get as the plextor is a one day sale and it ends sometime today/tongight/morning
I can't tell you which to get. But I would go for the Plextor, the 712 is not the newest model, and it's only $13 more than the Samsung. But hey it's your money. I have the Plextor 716 and love it, paid alot more than $63
I have a Plextor PX-716A. I love it. I spent wayyyy too much time and money on other junk drives and media. 527 Burns and 3 coasters in 4 months.
i didnt get the plextor cause i looked closely and it was over at like 530 pacific time they just hadnt taken down the deal i know some about dvd burners now my friend just got one that was dual layer and lightscribe....umm what is that? He payed roughly 100 bucks for his, but im not sure what kind it is purpose of me gettin them is to backup dvds and ps2 games so do i need the dual layer and lightscribe?
Almost all new burners come dual layer nowadays. As far as lighscribe, that is not a necessity but a preference. Lightscribe is the ability to burn a disk on one side, flip it over, and burn a label on the other side of special printable disks. So it has nothing to do with what you are backing up.. Hope this anwered your question
Does anyone here have experience with the lightscribe drives? I was considering adding it to my PC but haven't heard much from anyone who actually has one.
