really?!? thanks for letting me know.. but ive tried others...sony, and fuji(?) and they both wouldnt write... read yes but not write. im scared to waste my money on another brand.
Taiyo Yuden is the best but some other good ones are Verbatum, Maxell, Ricohjpn, and Ritek. Some people like Prodisc I have never used them so can't comment. I'm suprised you've had problems with Sony. They are usually pretty good unless you got some fakes. What is the media code of the Sony's?
Pointman 1 you may need to flash your firmware. You must make sure that it is for your model or your drive will become a nice doorstop. cdfreaks is where I find my drive firmware updates. Updating the firmware usually makes the drive more compatible to more media types. There is also hacked firmware can make certain 4x drives burn at 8x. Be sure and follow the flash instructions and you should have 0 problems. You may want to search the net to see if teac has a site with the firmware updates. When you identified your drive it should have told you the firmware version so make sure that you are indeed updating to a newer firmware if you decide to do so. edit: soory bro no new firmware for that one but if it becomes availible you can find it here: http://www.teac.com/DSPD/support/dt_dvdr_drives/ide_dvdr.htm _X_X_X_X_X_[small]P4 2.8c @ 3.2 Abit IC7-G 2x80 gb seagates barracudas ATI AIW 9600 soft mod by w1zzard 2 x 256 pc 3200 Kingston valueram(hynix chips)[/small]
