    I just got a Pioneer DVR-105, meaning that for any kind of speed on cd burning, I need another cd burner...That's fine, I had one, but only CD R/RW, and I want it to be a CD-RW/DVD Reader because I don't want to use the DVR as the reader...

    Ok, A newegg.com search yeilded 4 possibilites: Lite On (LTC-48161H), TEAC (DW548D002), and Sony (CRX300E/B2).

    Which one would be best?

    Failing that... the Litey.

    None of the above (hehe), just kiddin' m8. If you ca afford the Plex Premium (TLA# 0002), this is #1 for backing up Safedisc 2.9& SecuROM 4.8.3&up. The Plex Premium is the only cd burner that can do a 1:1 backup of SecuROM 4.8.3& up simply because it uses a different write technique called VariRec . All other cd burners use the TwinPeak write method when backing up Safedisc 4.8.3&up. Soo if you can afford da Plex Premium be sure you request TLA#0002 and if you get one that isn't TLA#0002 send it back .
    Recommended cd burners for backing up cd protections:
    1) Plextor Premium (TLA#0002)<a must
    2,3) Asus 52x or LiteOn 52x
    4,5) Memorex 52MAXX or Sony52x)

    DVD Burner:
    1) Plextor PX-708A
    2) Ther is no other (at the moment)
