Teac 12x10x32x...whats the diff between CD-W512E and CD-W512EB?

[Zhitnik]

I have the Teac 12x10x32x CDRW drive, and it as CD-W512EB. When i was looking at the firmware upgrades on www.cdrinfo.com, i noticed that there was a CD-W512E and a CD-W512EB. what is the difference between these two? I cant seem to figure it out...anyone enlighten me? Thanks...

One is probably scsi and is ide maybe. I really don't know though.

 

[Zhitnik]

well i just found out what the difference between the model numbers is. Here is the response from Teac:

Hello Phil,
The new drive CDW512EB has the feature of Burn Proof, which helps to eliminate the buffer underruns.

I guess i lucked out then....i didnt realize that they made a burnproof model, since i couldnt find it on their site, unless they just updated it. Therefore, none of the statements about burnproof being useless on a fast system arent necessarily true, since the fact that i burned 20 straight cds could have been attributed to burn proof.

B has BURNproof.

No sh!t shirlock.... dude LXI its best you leave this forum, do you really need to state the obvious? or wait i just did by saying you are stupid...

Uh... who's the one that's stupid and should leave the forum?

Observe, Watson. Zhitnik's post was made at 5:08PM, mine was at 5:09PM, when I came in the thread Zhitnik's post was not there, the chances are he hit the reply button before I did. You're too stupid if you think I was simply copying the information from him, oh how can I forget, you cant comprehend any of what I just said, nevermind.

I just bought that drive tonight, and it includes BurnProof. I can't wait for it to get here! (Ordered it online)

Keep us informed on the performance. The seek time of 85ms has impressed me. Looks like the best drive in its class for the $value.
Let us know about software performance, etc .
For $157 including manual, shipping, cable, this is the best deal around. WWW.esbuy.com. I have not seen any post except on this forum.
