Building a new rig and looking for a Burner that works.

Plextor.
Everything else doesn't matter.

 

[Sugadaddy]

Plextor 16-10-32

 

[Kemoc]

Thanks for the replys. I'll go looking for plextors

 

[Davegod75]

plextor... just to reinforce the issue

 

[Turbopit]

or a rebadged plextor

 

[AndyHui]

Plextor....just to beat it into you with a hammer....

 

[apoppin]

My favorite is Plextor. No contest.

However, I couldn't afford one so I settled for a 10x4x32 HP9350i (which I got new from a tip from the Hot Deals Forum for $25 after rebate). I love it (especially for the price and the speed improvenment over my old 2x burner) and haven't made a coaster yet.

Can you tell that we're all Plextor zealots? Other alternatives to consider are the excellent TDK VeloCD 12/10/32 or Yamaha.

 

[joshdoe]

I know I'm going against the crowd, but I'd highly recommend a Plextor. My 8/4/32 works great

 

[GoldenTiger]

TDK VeloCD 12x10x32 with BURNPROOF . (rebadged Plextor)

 

[EvilDonnyboy]

You know Plextor's aren't the best in every category. They just excel in most. They do have their faults.

For example, the 12/10/32 are kinda slow data readers with not the least impressive seek times.

 

[Biggs]

Plextor eventhough its pricey.

 

[jagr10]

Just in case someone didn't mention this, how about a Plextor 16x! he he.

I own one of those and it's grrreat!

 

[pnyc]

Plextor seams to be the best.

 

[Kulgan]

Another vote for Plextor. It's true that they do have probs, but compared to the 5 other brands I've tried, Plextor is superior

 

[Nerd]

Plextor all the way. I got one coming in the mail sometime soon. Brand new 16x10x40x CD-RW. Can't wait to unleash the power of that suckah.

 

[mztykal]

To each his own.

I've had HP's, Mitsumi's, Teac's...

And I love my Teac. It's great. Don't really need BURN-PROOF. My buffer rarely goes below 97%. And it has good read speeds and decent DAE extraction...

So I say TEAC!!!

 

[billyjak]

I like the TDK because it comes with Nero already.
I had the same debate, I was going to get the Plextor but decided to try TDK and am very happy with it. Not a coaster yet, gota love that burnproof.

 

[BuckNaked]

I have both the Iomega/Plextor 12x10x32 IDE and the Imation/Plextor 8x20 SCSI, and while the 12x10x32 is fast, I love my 8x20!

Plextor makes good stuff...they're even better when you can get them cheaper than the competitors!

You have chosen wisely, I heard the TDK 12/10/32 is a rebadged Plextor but the TDk 16/10/40 isn't?

 

[SnoopCat]

my panasonic 4x8 is the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be. 1500+ burns

 

[ForeverSilky]

Lite-on. Why? Because it has all the features of the 12x plextor for a fraction of the price. Many people on this forum are buying them. If Lite-on keeps up this up they'll be top dog in the cdrw scene.

 

[Smbu]

I'd have to say Plextor. I've used Memorex and Yamaha drives, besides my Plextor and the others don't match up to my Plextor 12/10/32 scsi drive.

 

[esung]

Plextor or Yamaha.
