Which burner should I get? Lite-on 24x or Plextor 24x?

[HamHam]

LITE-ON LTR-24102B-01 24x10x40 CDRW - RETAIL $96


PLEXTOR PX-W2410TA-BPS 24x10x40 CD-RW - OEM $147

I am leaning toward the Lite-on cuase its a better deal but Plextor makes great reliable burners... right?

thx

Personally, I'd go for the Plextor without a doubt.. 🙂

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Lite-on is reliable, and cheaper, so I'd probably go with a lite-on, because it does everything that the plextor does I think..

another vote for lite-on, just as good as plextor IMO.

 

[HamHam]

does the Light-on have Burn-proof or something like it?

 

[Kemoc]

Plextor

plextor is quieter i think

 

[Vincent]

I have the LiteOn and it works great. It has LiteOn's proprietary buffer underrun prevention technology which accomplishes the same thing burnproof does.

 

[BeauJangles]

Lite-On.. cheaper & as good quality.

The retail Lite On burner you want is only $75 at pricewatch... hope that helps to make you're decision easier - just do a search for:

lite on 24x


Cheers

Let me break it down into a simple equation:

Lite-on = (Plextor -brandname)-high price

I ordered the Lite-on on Monday so......

I have the LiteOn 24x10x40 in this rig and it is a stellar drive. All the reviews I have read have it right up there with the Plextor. Almost half the price as well.....

 

[LukFilm]

Lite-on for sure. You can get it for $65 after $20 MIR from OM.

 

[Insane3D]

Lite-On by far. The reviews I've seen have it performing better than the Plex and it's a good deal cheaper. I would venture to say that Plextor's quality is no better or worse than Lite-On's...

 

[kendogg]

Plextor

 

[DJediMaster]

Lite-on sine i own one.

 

[Motero]

lite-on.

another vote for liteon!

 

[pmark]

I got the liteon 24x and it works great!

Some burning software doesn't detect the Line-on, Plextor on the other hand...

<< Some burning software doesn't detect the Line-on >>

Like?

I have a lite-on, picked it up for 100 bucks and I havent had a SINGLE problem with it... I'm addicted to it =)

$30 Holiday Rebate on a retail Plextor 24/10/40

The Plextor is a better drive, but the Liteon is a much better value. I went with a 16x myself, because that extra 8x really doesn't make that big a difference on burn times. I went cheap and got a Cyberdrive 16x12x40. Not compatible with adaptec (I have to use Nero now), not a big deal. About the same performance as a Liteon 16x, both lag behind the Plex, but the Plex was like $140 more! Value or performance, your pick.
