Thanks a lot everyone! Plextor it is. I used my son's CD Burner and got hooked, so now I want my own <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> I almost forgot to ask this...should I set it up on the same channel as the CD-ROM drive, and should I set it as the master?
Note: Have recently used both the Plextor and Yamaha 16x10x40's. Both worked great but the Yamaha definitely burned faster using the same generic 16x media.
i got a traxdata 8x4x32x att eh mo, but ive just seen a 12x10x32x for £117 down the road.
wish i waited now....
BTW burnproof as well
i had a smart and friendly (yamaha based)never had a prob now i got a sony and i like my smart and friendly. i always hear great things about plextior.
i hate to see you put down some of the creative stuff then again when i bought mine way back they were made by panasonic
i wont get rid of that old quad speed either most dependable one ive got linux cdroast
does over burns with out a complaint also
xcdroast
works with it as well as my smart and freindly mines the jvc model got a few sony s too any way a freind of mines a dj and dont know much abot em but he said few suport the karaoke feature of mixed data and audio
that are sinked and his panasonic isnt going to be replaced either
as far as creative s readers i agree not a wize choice seen them with the same speed number and 2 different manufactures
ive had to copy the win98 directory to the
hard drive on several machines with there cds in them because setup fails to read the cd
very pickey with light scratches
Oi! You didn't answer my question <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> What I asked sounds like the logical thing to do...am I right?Quote:

Price for a 12x10x32 IDE drive around $129. Excellent value !! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"></STRONG>
I had a Hp burner (which i believe is a very very good burner) for about a year, until i traded it for one of those lite-on burners ( www.liteonit.com.tw ) This burner is increadable, not only do i have one, but the place where i work sells them like mad!! They are great because of the burn-proof technology (like someon said earlier in the thread) anyways once you use it once you could never go back to a regular driver, plus its not much more expensive or anything, so price doesn't affect the decision. But definately try one of those, cause they rock
