What features to look for in a CD burner?

[d1abolic]

Planning on getting this burner tomorrow, unless you someone can tell me that it's missing an important feature of some sort. Why did i choose this one? Simple - it's available at my local computer store for a price that's lower than anything i could find on Pricewatch. I checked out a few reviews, and all of them give it over 4/5.

burn proof? be basically all burners come with bp now.

get a plextor, and you'll never ever want to get different branded cdrw again.

d1abolic, as long as it's CCD compatable, I say go for it, the price is nice

the name plextor on the side of the box is always a compelling feature for me.

The LG's are good drives. I've built systems for three people with them. Ranging from 8x-16x-24x. All work perfectly and have burned hundreds of CD's. I pretty much look at buffer size and what ever type of burn proof they have. I might be replacing my 10x acer with a 24x lite-on today for 64 and change after tax. I would get the LG if I could find it local.

just fyi, justwrite will work just as well as burnproof, so don't freak if it only has justwrite.

The best made

Plextor? Heh...

LG 32x10x40 - 135sec - $167CDN
Plextor 40x12x40 - 108sec - $282CDN

Hmm, lemme see. NO!

Make sure it can record and playback CDs.

 

[dakata24]

make sure it can copy safedisc2 cds and get a copy of clonecd... that will come in handy..

the newest ver of clonecd rox. it selects all the settings on its own.

 

[d1abolic]

Yeah that's what i was asking about. Is there a list up somewhere?

I would buy a TDK VeloCD instead, I believe they come with Burn Proof technology, look cooler and usually come with a LEGAL REGISTERED version of Nero CD-RW software.
