HP 8200e (USB) 4X

I've burned two coasters in a year, both times because of power loss to the writer during a burn. (I was using it with a notebook computer on the road and had no UPS available to plug the burner into.)

I have several:

Plextor 12x10x32-Very stable! I made several coaster initially but thats because of termination problems which have been rectified.

HP 9340i 10x4x32-Very stable also, has 4 meg buffer which helps a lot, no burn-proof though. Never made a coaster!

Richoh 7040 4x4x24-Even though it is slow this puppy NEVER made a coaster!

HP 7200 2x2x6-Slow as hell but never made a coaster!

Philips Omniwriter 2600 2x2x6-Second rewritable drive ever! Slow as hell, made TONS of coaster initially with HYCD utility (which sucks big time!). But hey, its an external scsi and I only use it with my laptop!


The Plextor is my favorite and most stable(for obvious reasons) but the HP 9340i is a very close second!

I have rarley made a coaster with any drive I have owned.

Only coaster from bad media, or opening a huge app mid burn (photoshop)

I had a memorex 2x IDE....wasn't bad, just slow.
then I had a 12x4x32 S&F SCSI...very fast, NEVER had any trouble with it.
Now I have a Plextor 4x SCSI...pretty nice :)

I have a Plextor 8x2x20 SCSI CDRW and an HP 9350i 10x4x32. Both of them kick much ass.
