the tsst came with my hp about 1 year ago. it is a dl. Would there be a significant advantage to change burners possibly to get a benq? I believe the TSSt is a samsung. THx
Are you having any issues with it? Excellent stand alone compatability: Any drives out there that doesn't recognize your backups? Any No disc/Wrong region/Wrong format errors? Are you burning at 8x with no trouble? If you answered no to all of them,then you're ok. Another option,if you want a new drive: If you have the tower space,add another dvd-rw drive in it. Use the new burner-make sure it is a quality one,for burning only. Do not rip dvds in this drive unless you have to. Then you can use that TSST drive as a reader/ripper.This will cause a lot less wear and tear on your quality burner and make it last a lot longer.
