Dual Dvdr drives?

[Bruck]

I am configuring specs for my new system and I came across a dilema, i definately want two drives in my system that can read dvd's and atleast 1 taht can burn dvdrs. Instead of looking for a good dvd-rom drive that is black and fast for dvd to dvdr burning, would I benefit from having two identical dvdr drives (plextor)?

Could a 3.4ghz 1gb ram Intel p4 system burn 2 dvds at the same time? Providing that the data sources were both stored on the hard drives of course!


note: this was off the cuff, might be a dumb question.

A DVD-ROM will cost a lot less and probably run faster too.

Pioneer also offers a black model in the 107 line (A07 comes with software, 107 is barebones.)

Yeah, it's easy to burn two DVD's at once (provided you just want two copies of the same thing, of course). RecordNow MAX (a.k.a. Prassi, a.k.a. Sony CD Extreme) does it just fine, and you don't need system specs any better than if you were burning one DVD.

On a side note, Plextor isn't worth paying more for these days. You can't justify paying $140 for a single-layer Plextor burner when a dual-layer NEC costs $80 and makes slightly higher quality burns.

You can use Nero Retail version to use multiple burners. Always wanted to try it but never got around to it.

ditto! 2 is better then one
my liteon812s stinks at detecting blanks low quality/flawed dvdr
my optorite can detect anything WOOHOO!
I can't modify oporite to burn at faster speed but it is at least more reliable then my rotton overhyped liteoncrap
:thumbsdown:
