Looking to Buy a New DVDRW.

[The 47th Ronin]

OK, I had to RMA my cheap Toshiba DVDRW back to Ebuyer, so I want to get a more expensive one now..

What do you think?

I like the look of the Plextor's, and of Sony range.

Does anyone know of any good sites which provide a round up etc?

Thx

Pioneer 107s....

What a shame m8, my cheap Toshiba is working fine, I cant fault it, not yet anyway.

Plextor ones are very nice but very expensive.

The Sony ones are some of the worst on the market. Very fussy with media.

[Stoo]

Sony are fine if you buy half decent media.

I am thinking Plextor, cos I cant be arsed to have any more problems.

I have a Pioneer 106, excellent drive, no problems whatsoever. Recommend the new 107 like the chap up top said.

I have a NEC ND2500, great drive!! Burns like a wonder.....

I have just ordered the NEC 2500A but still waiting for delivery. Doesn't help much I know but that's was my choice after deciding against Plextor on cost grounds.

107 all the way - on offer today aswell, very tempeted to buy one but dont understand the lack of 8x discs also whats the diff between +r and -r?

Yep, Pioneer 107 gets my vote too, had no problems with mine

[faisal_uk]

another vote here for the NEC 2500A 8x +/- R/RW - quiet, fast, burns almost every type/brand of disc - exactly same as pioneer 107 - some even say better!

what more could you want for £60?

I have a NEC also, superb drive, fast, quiet and has burnt every disk i have thrown at it without a problem.

I have a Plextor 708A and it is very nice. A very nice drive for 'backing up' I must add . They dont have a wish to stop you transfer music cd's to your computer like sony do.
I was very impressed with plextor's warranty service as well. my drive stopped reading cd's for some reason, dvd's were still fine, but anyway I sent them an error report and got an RMA number the next day, then all I had to do was ring the number given to arrange for a free courier pickup. They received the drive after a couple days, and I had a brand new replacement within the week.
A very imprerssive service

Plextor have also brought out their P712A
Obviously a 12x write speed, hence the name. HAven't seen it for sale in the UK yet, but maybe wait until that comes out and buy that ? Or buy the 708A as it must go down in price.

Another vote for the NEC, superb value for money.
