CD Burners

Post by Ecko »

Whats the Best CD Burners....

My Yamaha 8x4x24 is screwy on me.. so i sent it in for coz its still under warrenty...

but these are my choices..

1) Plextor 16x10x32
2) Teac 16x10x32
3) LG 12x8x32 IDE CDRW (8MB buffer)
4) Maybe Yamaha 16x10x32
5) Creative 12x10x32x CDRW

what you guys think... im leaning more on the Plextor coz i like that one very much.. if not the i guess that Teac isnt a bad choice...

Plextor is the best, hands down....that is of course if you don't mind spending the money for these excellent drives. I've always run my CD-ROM and CD-RW's on a SCSI bus and have had great performance.

I have experience with Yamaha as this was my first CD-RW drive and it performed nicely till it's ultimate failure :(

I'm using a TDK. Had it for about a year. I"ve made around 350 CD's with it with only a few coasters. Those were my fault and not the fault of the burner.

It's made by Plextor and has no burnproof technology, but I'm with Yard in as you really don't need it.

FYI, all Plextors, TDK, ect ect, have burnproof. They do use different software though.
