Whats up guys, What do you guys recommend as a new burner??? I am in the market for a new drive ($100-$175). Should i go duel layer? What brand/model? Should i wait out all together and not get a new drive right now?? E-
Unless you are going to burn 5gb+ data dvds in one then theres not much point of spending a lot more money for a dual layer, the media are also pretty expensive. I have a NEC and it works great, go to your local computer shop and see what they have and see if you can find it cheaper.
Are we talking internal dual layer burners, or external? Try newegg.com for best price. Internal NEC 3520 dual layer burner for $52 + shipping is great price on good quality burner available in three diferent colors.
Thanx stan, I know i can find them both kinda cheap, and for $100-$200 what do you recommend. Just go for a good single layer or a regular duel layer, even though i will not be burning duel layer at this time!! Costcos has one for $89. E-
$52 NEC 3520 at Newegg.com is best deal around. Quality is on par with Pioneer, just a shade below Plextor. This is a 16X burner that has dual layer burning capability (albeit at slower speed).
I just bought a Refurbished plextor PX-716 for $80 on Newegg.com Do you think this was a good idea, since it is refurbished?? I still have time to cancel the order!! E-
I would go with a dual layer burner (duel layers may want to confront each other). I would recommend a new, rather than a refurbished burner (it probably something that someone has had problems with and returned it repair). There are many dual layer burners on the market at very reasonable prices (well under $100). My preferences would be: Pioneer Plextor LiteOn NEC
considering the cost of dual layer media i would say: hell no!! http://www.meritline.com/dual-layer-dvd-dl-r-media.html you better off spliting to 2 dvd-rs
