Old NEC DVD_RW ND 3520AW

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

I've had the 35320aw for a while now. I've upgraded the firmware once already; not checked if it needs another but I frequently get cyclic redundancy errors. I couldn't rip a DVD and my friend said he'd try and the next day he came back with a copy of the DVD i was trying to rip and copy. What would you recommend for a new DVD burner? I'm not interested in Blue Ray DVD R/RW etc

I've had an S223Q for over six months now, very nice. Then I ran the firmware hack a few weeks ago, and DVD rips screamed thru...one of the fastest rippers out there. Damn quiet, too.

Uless your woriied about the actual speed of the drive any will do. They are all so cheap now you can't really go wrong spending $40 on a drive.

Wow. Any drive will do? Considering the crap I've had to deal with over the years, like Lite-On and Mad Dog and Iomega, I had no idea there was parity across drives now.

And prices nearly doubled to $40? Cripes, glad I bought mine when I did...
