It's interesting that CostCo only sells -R media, at least the last time I checked a couple of days ago. Sam's Club sells Verbatim +R and +RW media for a pretty good price.
 
Sorry, but that thread strikes me as a bunch of misinformation, and doesn't lead me to any deal on a +/- drive.
 
microshaft has joined the +r alliance and will be the focus of support for longhorn. for you lynx fans this isn't a problem. at the same time, dell and a few other big boys are pushing only +r. technically +r is better anyway: only writes 2k clusters instead of 32k, and actually burns at the speeds it's supposed to (e.g., 4x if you use that media). the point is...don't ditch the +r format. i think in the long run it will come out ahead.

The hype/rumor mill "wins" again.

Check CNet, /., Wired, etc. You will see an article (from about a month ago) from Microsoft stating that they will be FULLY supporting ALL DVD recording formats. DVD-R, +RW, and DVD-RAM. People need to stop using the "Microsoft is supporting only +RW so it will beat out DVD-R" argument since it's not true.
 
goto accupc.com and get the optorite +/- 4x drive for $199 shipped.

For me, that was a better deal.

$199 shiiped from accupc
$188 shipped from costco.


$11 more for a +/- ability is worth it to me. Also, the HD-burn (1.4GB on a CD) works great.....
 
wonder when these speeds increase.
I used to remember the first burner I had for CDR/RW was a 4X and it took a full 40mins to burn 1 full disk.
How long can you burn a full DVD with 4X speeds??

then your 4x was only burning at 2x.

My 2x took ~45 min counting lead-in and lead-out.

wow, thats not bad at all.. that would mean that theres a different running speed between CDR and DVDR.. :Q

it was running at 4x alright, but I always do test burn before doing final burn, it was one of those drives that gave me a lot of coasters if I don't do test burn. 😱
