Burn for your Buck

[AMDUW]

Hello,
My CD-RW just broke!! Grr.. Anyway, I am looking for a new one now. I am just wondering if anyone has some suggestions about new CD-RW's out there. Within the 100-150 dollar price range. I am looking for a good combination of SpEED and reliability, plus a really well constructed buffer underrun protection. Thanks for any info you can give me. Any stats on the model too would be much apprcetiated. Thanks again

I have extremely good luck with lite-on burner's lately that can be found at newegg.

What about the Plextor 40X/12X/40X? Has anyone heard of this new FAST burner????

Is the 2mb buffer in the Lite-Ons a problem ever?

I have the LiteOn 24x10x40 w/ 2mb buffer and I have never had a problem.

whoa budy, give the thousands of members on this board some time to answer your questions wouldn't want a vacation from the nice mods

Anyways, I used to be a die hard plextor fan but I am now using lite-on burners only. There is no buffer issue with them.

you don't need to pay $100-150
just get the mitsumi 32x for $80! It's fast and works like a charm

I laugh when you capitalized fast, because it seems as if you only thought plextor made fast burners...

Check out the biggest burn for your buck w/lite on cd-rw's

My 24x lite on burner has been absolutely excellent in burning... it was cheap, but has stood up to whatever I've thrown at it. I put one in a clients PC too, and no problems whatsoever...

all in all, you're paying for a brand name w/plextor. Burners last for a while and get outdated anyways, so why waste money when you don't have to? That's my opinion anyways.

Another vote for Lite-On. I've also had good luck with AOpen burners. You really don't need to worry about the buffer size anyways since they all have some sort of burn proof technology.

I am pleased with the Plextor I'm using. Check out Newegg's prices for them.
