DVD Burner?
 

:lol ok, am looking for a new cd/dvd burner am still running the one that came of from my HP computer when I purchased it like 5 years ago, so needless to say the ubber computer that I have now is begging me for a newer burner.... I narrowed it down to one of these two...

A) Plextor PX-716AL/SW

or

B) Plextor PX-755SA

What do ya think, Am thinking choice A, but I don't know jack about these things?

I like the Plextor stuff. I've had more than one of their drives...

Seems expensive? Mine was around $70. I think it's a Sony, works well.

Edit: You're looking at internal, mine's external, that probably makes a difference.

Rooz, you have a ton of toys. Every week you are looking for some new gadgets :).

No difference . . only that yours was installed in an external case ;)

Rooz, Plextors are da bomb, but there really isn't any need to buy them; you're really just paying for the name. IMO Pioneer is just as reliable and a little cheaper.

Oh, duh, of course. Obviously I'm not going to be of any help here, lol.

they dont call em sexy plexys for nothing.

one was SATA and the other PATA, do you have a preference?

These have been around for a while, so they are really cheap. When I just built my computer, there were still ranked number 1.... I think at Tom's Hardware (reputable computer site who do benchmarks ect..)

Works great for me. I love it.
I have around 100 burned COPIES of my dvds.... No issues

^^^NICE find :thumbup

30 dollars plus some change... shipped....

MY dad's burner sounds like a freaking honda on crack every time you try to burn a disk and by the reviews it seemed that the Plextor's were VERY quiet. Plus figured if am gonna buy one, might as well buy the best I can get for a fair amount of money :dunno

NEC is very high quality. It doesn't sound like a nascar.... Dude... if you are thinking about buying a 150 dollar dvd burner.... at least try out the 30 dollar one.... it is not walmart quality...i promise you that. i recommend trying it out

I agree the NEC burners have always treated me well. I did have some problems with benq, but NEC is rock solid.
