I have a Pioneer 111D which has served me well but it's starting to show it's age. Burning DVD-R's it frequently stops and then carries on. With dual layer burns it just stops in the middle of the burn and freezes. I need a new Writer and since my Pioneer 111D has served me well for so long I'm thinking about purchasing another Pioneer drive. I was wondering if anybody had any other advice about the best choice for burning 360 games, thanks.
almost any burner should do that supports DL burns! brands suggested NEC lite-on sony Phillips if i can suggest a burner;0 http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=204&Itemid=67 brands not suggested Hitachi Samsung and any OEM produced drive (like dell and such) get one from here, even ebay is a good source http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=4 the drive should be modern and check the manufactures website to see if it has firmware updates -tripplite
i use a 60$ mad dog burner i bought 3 years ago which was very very cheap at the time, and it has been one of the most reliable burners i ever owned. i use that along with verbs, and img burn.
no samsungs?? why not, i've had mine for 2 years, and it has yet to make a bad burn on anything, games, movies, cds. my 111d was a POS in my opinion. it only lasted about a year, before it started to make crap burns for movies and music cds.
internal, you can get one now for 30 40 bucks .. my buddy had a pioneer and was burning all diff kinds of media, exe. audio cd's, dvds, games. and i think that stresses the laser out. i dunno. i do the same thing with mine though, and like i said it works fine, i didnt even consider buying a new burner when i started flashing as i had high hopes for mine. btw i am still running the orignal 2005 firmware on my Burner too. lol just cant beat it.
