hello im looking to get a dvd burner and i was wondering what is the best dvd burner right now that is double layer (duel and double layer is the same thing right ?) what dvd burner is best for backing up ps2 games? price doesn't matter. my other question is what dvd burner is the best bang for the buck ? thank you
My first 2 choices would be Plextor and then Pioneer in that order. Plextor is more expensive. I'm still running a Pioneer 106D but when it dies the replacement will be another Pioneer, probably a dual layer, but with the blanks at $10. to $15. each the dual layer part won't get used much. Jerry
I cant recommend the Pioneer dvr-107d highly enough. Only had it a couple of days...burned 40+ discs and not a single coaster.
Try ether one of these Drives : Pioneer Black DVD+RW/-RW Drive, Model DVR-108, OEM $86.00 (note: the Pioneer is a Dual Layer Drive) or the NEC 8X Black Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Drive, Model ND-2510A BLK, OEM BULK $67.00 @ newegg.com (Yes I’ am a NEWEGG Junky) _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.[/small]
I got two burners in mt pc. 1 is the gigabyte w4040 and the other is an lg gsa4120b (DL) they both work quite well but im not sure about the price.
DVR 108D is good: http://store.e-tronicdepot.com/pidv16xdvdbu.html DVR 107D is good also: http://www.supertechstore.com/pidvbadrne6s.html
If I needed one right now it would be the DVR 108D. The problem is I can't seem to wear out this 106D. Maybe I'll build another system and put the 108 in that. Jerry
I am new to the DVD game and bought an LG GSA 4120b from Ewaggle.com for $88 shipped to my door in TX. So far it has handled most everything I put in it. We are not talking BeAll or Ritek media, more like Wal Mart Memorex +RW and Verbatim +R... for testing. All burns were done with DVD Shrink and Nero on an old 500mhz PIII. All burns done so far have worked on a Panasonic, samsung and Pinoneer players.
