hey guys,
I decided that I don't think i'm going to be able to pay $140-180 for the 16x DVD Plextor 716a or the BENQ 16x. The SATA isn't any improvement on these speed wise either.
I already knew a little about the nec3500a and that people really liked it. Plus it does 4x on dual layer writes. Ok but it comes with no software. Nero Ultra costs $86.00 which is pretty dang expensive. I could use DVD shrink for free and use my old copy of plextor disc dupe for CD-R/W copying and Adaptec Easy CD Creator for CDRW's but I have nothing for DVD's at all. I can get the DVD shrink for backup copying of DVD's but I have nothing for burning.
-So the NEC3500a is on sale for $63.00, wow... Ok. One of the best values I have ever seen I think.
***** BUT I keep looking and find the Sony 16x dru710a retail also on sale for $89.00. It comes with Nero Ultra which is $86.00. So if I buy that i'm getting the drive for 3 dollars basically.
Specifications:
Write Speed:16X DVD+R, 4X DVD+RW, 8X DVD-R, 4X DVD-RW, 48X CD-R, 24X CD-RW, 2.4X DVD+R DL
Read Speed: 48X CD-ROM, 16X DVD-ROM
Features: Buffer Underrun Proof technology
-It says 2.4x DVD+R Dual layer... -Will it do 4x like the NEC? -What about Book Type settings?
What are the pro's and con's? Looks like the Sony is slower on a few of the the specs?
I think the sale ends in 20 mintues 🙁
give me some feedback guys,
thanks
