lukeiamyourdad Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I know there's my other thread, but since this is a different thing, well, I went for it. It's not only because of recent problems from my HD, I also have a LOT of crap stored on it. By that, I mean enough to almost use all the space of my 100 Gb secondary HD. Well, I finally decided to go look for a good DVD burner. I was wondering what DVD burner you guys are using. If it's good, if it has problem, etc. I'll check the prices myself Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I assume you mean a dvd burner, and not a dvd/cd-r burner? If I am right, then this looks like something you might be interested in. I don't suggest buying it from that site, but the model looks pretty good and should be what you're looking for. And I don't know what your price range is. I'm sure you could find one cheaper than this, but samsung is pretty reliable when it comes to this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Absolutely, without a doubt, block out all other suggestions and get a Lite-On DVD burner Model No: SOHW - 1693S Top of the line, rock solid and they only cost ~70-80 bucks. It's the only one I'd even bother looking at if I was putting a system together right now. You will thank me. Yub you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been leery of Lite-On. I know that I have read a bunch of good reviews, but I overwhelmingly hear about how noisy they are. And, unless I am thoroughly mistaken, they are made by JVC. I had a JVC CD player in my car once that only lasted about a year before literally going up in flames. My stepson had to rip it out of the dash to keep from melting it. Needless to say, I am a bit concerned about them. I don't have a DVD burner, but I do have a LG CD-RW drive that I swear by and would recommend to others. I also have an AOpen DVD drive (not burner, just player) that I wish I could send back. Plays fine, but you have to stick a paperclip in the reset hole just to get it to eject a disk. DO NOT BUY AOPEN! Right now NEC has been getting rock solid reviews at NewEgg.com. And they are less expensive than the Lite-On drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevanA4 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I can't sugest a specific model or brand but i can tell you what to look for first I think there is six or nine different formats for dvd's so you will want one that supports all of them to start with second which is a do not do this is go to some place like bestbuy for advice, third make sure it can use r+ and r- dvds also and the warrenty matters since i don't have one that is all the infromation I can think of if I were looking for a dvd-rw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
