My POS 712SA died after only a few uses! It works fine with all types of CD media, but does the dreaded twice-flashing then pause, twice flashing then pause, etc., amber LED thing with all DVD media that's inserted! :Q Plextor even told me the drive is now bad.
I thought Plextors were supposed to be the best. It's just out of warranty, so I'm screwed on it and have to buy another. So I'm open to some recommendations please from any of you that have seen recent reviews on DVD+/-R +/-RW drives. I prefer one to be SATA, and it must have an 8mb buffer (or larger if they make them) because I LOVE those large buffers for drag 'n drop!! They are indeed MUCH faster than these weak 2mb buffers. I rarely copy disks, I mostly do packet writing.
Is the PX-716SA decent or are there any bad reviews on it? I haven't done any searches yet but I will, I just wanted to ask here first for any opinions first good or bad on that 716SA, or anything better fitting my criteria.
Thanks.
