buying dvd rw drive

[watts3000]

I would like to buy a dvdrw drive it would save me a lot of work when it comes to ghosting systems,but I keep hearing people talk about dvd+RW and dvd-RW or there drives out there that can burn both of these standards.

Yes, indeed, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD+RW are all DIFFERENT standards from
different manufacturers (but it mostly affect the media, that is, the dvd disks themselves).
You should be fine if you buy a well-etablished name-brand drive (Sony, Toshiba etc.).

I have the Pioneer DVR-A03 and love it. Great for PS2 backups😉

If you HAVE to have one right now, go with DVD-RW. It's the most compatible type of DVD Recordable media out of all the choices, especially for stand alone DVD players.

If you've got to have one now, the Pioneer drive is very good for the price.
