Poll: Which CD-RW is better?

[Croton]

TDK VeloCD 16/10/40 CD-RW

or

Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A CD-RW

They are both IDE.

?


And why?

 

[Ranger X]

They're both great.

 

[John]

TDK has a better software pkg...other than that they are similar.

 

[thraashman]

everyone I know always rave's about Plextor. I haven't heard anything about the TDK though

 

[MuffD]

I've been a Plextor user for a couple of years now so I say Plextor. I have not tried their IDE stuff though, only the scsi

 

[Croton]

the reason i ask is because i have both, and i want to get rid of one...

any other input?

 

[bonkers325]

neither i burn with my fingers

nah really plextor baby btw 16x10x40 :Q

 

[Ranger X]

Keep the Plextor. TDK just OEMs these drives, don't they?

 

[Namuna]

What the HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!!

Keep the TDK, it's friggin 16x BURRRRN man. AND it uses BURN-Proof.

And it's MOST LIKELY the same damned drive as the Plextor 16x burner (since the TDK 12x and Plextor 12x burners are the same drive)

AND it came with Nero 5 software (The Plex came with that CHEESE Adaptec EZ)
AND it KICKS ASS at DAE
AND MaximumPC loves the TDK 12x, so it's likely they'll like the 16x when they review it.

No brainer here man

 

TDK pretty much = plextor rebadged drive.

I think the TDK is better because of the blue translucent drive tray.
And like 40X ripping cababilities.
And its 16x

 

[Croton]

is the tdk compatible w/clonecd and the plextor software?

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

Namuna takes this sh1t serious!!

 

[twong82]

Stick with the TDK since it is a bit faster.

 

[Namuna]

hamburgerpimp,

Do you REALLY think so? Too bad I can't channel that kind of assertiveness on chicks!

 

[KameLeon]

In terms of quality, They're both the same. I would pick the TDK just because of the speed..

 

[Hawk]

Do a poll with the Plextor 16x and the TDK 16x.

 

[RossMAN]

I would buy the TDK because:
1) Everyone here is a Plextor zealot.
2) The TDK is likely to be a rebadged or very similar Plextor.
3) The TDK is faster than the Plextor.
4) The TDK looks cooler than the bland Plextor.
5) Because you read this TDK 16x/10x/40x review which made up your mind.

The only other alternatives I would consider are:
Plextor then Yamaha

 

[SoyBoy004]

I love the plextor 12x. its perfect, though i have never used the tdk. plextor just released their 16x.

 

[Croton]

anyone else?

 

[Noriaki]

Hey!
This ins't OT! This is very much Hardware!

YOU NEF!

hehe

I'd take the TDK, looks cooler, has better software and it would tweak the noses of 1million and 1 plextor zealots on the AT Forums
