Seems like a good deal for Burn Proof. I don't know the quality of Lite-on's CD-RW. Any input????

The old posts are nowhere to be found. It's impratical to search, well because, if you don't know about the deal, what can you search (12x10x40x, whoops not it, 8x4x32x, nope no deals, 12x8x32x, nope nothing, :) )

Good post!

Omg it has burnproof!!! Link! This means its a rebadged Sanyo or Plextor I believe. If that is so then this is a HOT DEAL!! Almost as hot as the Iomega 12x10x32x for $99.

I was at a PC Club store the other night and I saw a poster advertising Liteon CDRW drives featuring BURNProof. it said that BURNProof is achieved through a combination of hardware and firmware. and, apparently, BURN-Proof is a proprietary technology trademarked by Sanyo. thank you Sanyo! :D

liteon makes their own drives. not plextors or sanyos.

i heard their drives suck. that's just what i heard, never used one of their drives before.

What is this burnproof, and why would I need it? I've been burning CD's since my first 2x burner years ago, and I've never made a coaster.

Bigdude burnproof, aka idiotproof, is just that... something made for the fools out there that don't have a clue how to properly burn cd's. Most people out there don't know that they have to put devices they are burning to and from on seperate channels, ex if you are making a copy off the cd-rom you need to have the cd-rom on a seperate ide channel then the burner or your going to get buffer underrun errors. Also what I found funny is people like o try to use more then half thier physical memory doing other things while they are burning. or set up the swappable cache from the HD to the wrong size. I have a friend that purchased one of these drives and some great 12x media to burn at 12x... and what does he do? plays video games while burning the cd.. which with the BP slows evrything down to a screeching halt and he's lucky to burn at 4x speed because of all the corrections being made. Anyhow that's my two cents. Burnproof isn't needed like putting a V8 small block on the back of a old VW bug just to drive to work isn't needed. Just fun to show off.

Aye, does anyone know yet if this drive is any good, and does it have a warranty?
