Currently happy with the PC setup at the
Im going to ditch running a DVD-R and CDR and just run one decent DVD-R and possibly run 3 Hard drives,
The DVD writer I am currently running isnt very good, when I burn something off I find it doesnt always open on other peoples DVD players. Its like the data is corrupt and I get a cyclic redundancy checks or something
Any suggestions on one that will last? Getting sick of replacing CDR drives I DVD drives last longer as they cost a lot of $$
I've had good results with the Sony Double Layer, dual standard model. At what speed does your DVD burn disks? If you're getting those errors, it probably means you just need to drop the burn speed, assuming you didn't think of that.
the dual layer nec ones are the best around at the minute
your kinda in the wrong forum
bah :P Le Ze Mingle wont mind
I have tried all the obvious things with this drive, i only burn on the bottom speed which is x2
Ouch
I will try and get some lens cleaner for it if not I will look up these NEC ones
It is a cheap and nasty drive tho, when I got it at first I thought it was counterfeit goods
Thank again
Danny
i'll second that. get one with nero bundled with it.Quote:

I heard you could burn data onto a piece of dog shit and it still works with plexors
oh yeah, just dont forget to shut the door on the drive, otherwise it gets everywhere when it spins upQuote:
