Specs are - CD-R/RW: 24x/12x - DVD-R/RW: 4x/2x - DVD+R/RW: 4x/2.4x - DVD-RAM: 3x http://www.lgeus.com/Product/CD/GSA_4040b.asp Is it available anywhere?
I have the 4020. Few problems; it's been a happy drive. It just didn't like the DVD-RAM drivers installed. Hopefully that bug is now fixed.
No, unfortunately very few burners will write to 9.4 GB media. And if one does, I would think they'd make sure they put that in big letters in the description.
Fly me too the moon and back and...to Jupitor and Mars **singing away to himself** Oh, sorry. Was just siging there. Dont the new Panasonic Writers manage the 9.4GB RAM discs?
The GSA-4040B is available at www.ourstore.com The LG drive cannot write to 9.4GB DVD-Ram media, but the Panasonic SW-9571, LF-D311, and LF-D291 drives can which are also availble at OurStore.com
I have just recieved one that was ordered fromnewegg.com. Can't wait to see how it works. I have a Sony DRU-120A that quit working, and this baby is the replacement.
I just bought the LG GSA-4040B for $336 and saw the Pioneer A05for sale at $199 Just wonderign whats everyones opinion on if I should return the LG and get the pioneer since it is about 150 in difference. thanks
In a word reply: 'Yup' In two words: 'You Should' In three words: 'I Think So!' In four words: 'Get the Pioneer Drive'
I own the earlier LG drive. For $150 I'd take it back if I could. I assume you are in Canada and the Pioneer is at Futureshop? If not check out my post in the Pioneer for 105 quid.
Yea..I am fron canada and futureshop is actually selling it at $299 - $60 instant rebate and $40 mail in rebate. So, I guess I will bring back the LG as it seems everyone likes the pioneer drive so much...and there must be good reasons. They also have the A06 for sale but @ $399 and they also have a (opened box) A06 @ $336. Wanted to really find out, what is the diff between - and +? All I wanted to do is backup PS2 and DVD movies. How do I find out if my DVD player will take the DVD- ?
You can check compatability here: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php Make sure you read it carefully, we just ran into a buddy's DVD player being on the "supported" list. After doing some reading, of the 8 people who responded 3 said it didn't work and listed specific things they tried. The 5 people who said it worked left no comments, so people may just be checking things off without reading. I found a nice little "bad DVD" list here though: http://www.imagestation.com/help/topics/video2dvd/
