Im in the final stages of compiling a spec for a friend, and he has now decided he wants a dual-layer burner, but also one that has support for DVD-RAM because something in his home theatre setup uses them too

Having never dabbled in dual-layers, or DVD-Rams, I need some on advice on which to get him?

The only one I have seen so far is the LG GSA-416.

Many thanks

P.S. It also needs to be black

It'll have to be an LG if he wants DVD-Ram, basically. I think the 4163 is their latest model.

Thanks for clearing that up, thats what I thought And yeah, I had the 4163 I just made a mistake by copying only some of the model name and pasting it here, lol

I assumed that was the case. It looks to be a good value drive anyway.

Sweet, might have me one of those

The LG GSA-4163B is the successor to the GSA-4120B - a little faster on DVD writing. I have both in my system and both support DVD-RAM. If you do pick up a GSA-4120B then you may want to update the firmware on it (A115 is the latest - Google for sources of the firmware). I think that firmware A103 is the latest on the GSA-4163B.

Not on offer, as far as I can see, £31.73

Not in stock though.

Edit: I think Scan's delivery might be a couple of quid dearer too.

Rave, im purchasing all but the PSU and Memory from there, wouldnt make sense to pay another £5+ and the extra for the drive, I (he) can wait

Thanks for the advice though!
