Which one of these CDRW drives can backup SD2 discs?

[JackBurton]

40X Plextor
40X LiteOn
40X TDK

I'm looking to get the 40X TDK CDRW drive since it rips CDs pretty dang fast but that LiteOn drive sure does look good for $89!! What do you guys think?

for all present versions of SD2 you'll need the liteon!

WOW! The cheaper drive is the best drive! Man, how many times do you see that? Very cool, I most likely will get the LiteOn then. So the Plextor and the TDK won't do SD2?

apparently the plextor has some difficulties with the latest version of SD2.
can't really comment on the tdk drive.

I have Liteon 24X and was able to backup MOH Allied Assualt which has the latest SD2. Another vote for Liteon.

It really doesn't matter if you have 2 programs: CloneCD and Betablocker.

I am curious about why the plextors are having problems with SD2... Is it the inability to read the sub-channel data correctly or write it...? Since I also have a Toshiba DVD player I could read from, would this give me a good combo for SD2, and I could replace my aging 8/20x SCSI burner...?
