Norcent 52X24X52 $25 AR

[tRaptor]

At best buy, not exzactly "my find" but I went and got one and at first it gave me some trouble, errors would stop it before it would start burning, ect. So i tried a few things, then i updated the firmware and it has been great ever since.

$70- $20 rebate - $25 rebate = $25

Not one of those "High Quality" sony or tdk, ect, but for $25 I'll take it.

No Idea, how has it been working for you?

Mine has ben great since the firmware update

www.norcent.com "Site does not exist" ?

Where to get firmware update?

All CD-RW include "BurnProof" / JustLink / .... coaster prevention buffering technology, these days?
So nobody even bothers to mention it?
Nowadays, a standard feature?

I'd too would like to know if this Norcent has smart burn technology or something similar...

I ordered mine last night for pickup today. I'll let you know who makes it unless someone does it before I do.

Seamless Link - Thats what they call their burn proof.

I havent burned a coaster yet.

Weird thing: Nero speed test tells me to burn at 40X casue 48 is to fast, but i've burned at 48, and 52 without any problems.

Also: My bios reprots that the drive is ATA33

I think this drive is made by Acer/Benq.
I got mine today, and it looks identical to the picture on the box. It has the Play/skip button on it.

seamless link = benq/acer/mecer/philips

Haven't tried it yet. I bought it as a spare cause my Pacific Digital that I just bought ONLY burns coasters. Very wary of cheap burners now.

i bought this drive but it doesen't seem to be compatible with nero 5.5.9 , it ships with Nero express.

Whgen i use Nero 5.5.9, the drive doesen't show up in the 'choose a recorder' menu. have any of you been able to use it with nero 5.5.9 ?

Norcent has models starting with RW and with RWJ. RWs are Acer/Benqs RWJs are Liteons. You can flash the RWJs to Liteon firmware. Norcent doesn't update their own firmwares much these drives come with Norcent firmware.

Ya know, I still haven't got the Norcent rebate for this. I got the Best Buy rebate for this a LONG time ago.

I had the same problem with my cendyne. Update your version of nero from their site.
