Buying CD-RW...

My friend wants to get a CD-RW, and he asked me what he should get.

I said a Plextor 8/4/32 IDE drive. This is a good drive right?
 
Plextor is definitely the best. HP and Yamaha are good choices, as is Sony (who makes HP's drives anyhow).
 
I was pretty sure Plextor was a good drive, I just wanted to double check before getting my friend to shell out the cash for a drive.

I have a Mitsumi 4/2/8 drive right now, I'm thinking of getting a Plextor 12/10/32 drive for myself. Are there many places that sell 12x media?
 
I highly recomend the Plextor CDRW, I prefer the SCSI type though and don't have a clue on the IDE for how well it does copies. I had a Yamaha before and had trouble with some copy protected games.. Ooops, shouldn't have said that.. hehe.. but it worked good overall but I don't think it's as good as the plextor but then again it was a slightly older 6-4-16 yamaha, they may have gotten better with newer models. But I sure haven't had any problems with the Plextor doing copys, it's a very good CDRW, fast and reliable and should have a long life. I got sold on plextors with my first 6X CD that was faster than many 8X's back when they first came out. It lasted a very long time with heavy use and still works but sits on the bookshelf now... It outlasted it's use.
