What is the best CD-RW? I think it's Plextor.

**chrisjk** · Aug 11th, 2002, 12:45 PM

They make a few, care to narrow it down a bit?

**idinkin** · Aug 11th, 2002, 12:59 PM

But they are the best!!!

I definitely prefer Liteon drives. As a former Plextor owner, I saw the Liteon way and never looked back

for a lot less money I got a burner just as solid as my old Plex was, and does anything and everything. Not a coaster or any type of problem at all.

My $0.02

And what do you think about LG writers

**JungleMan** · Aug 11th, 2002, 01:30 PM

Haven't had much experience with them, so I can't really comment.

I've had no problem with Plextor, TDK, and Lite-on IDE burners and Yamaha SCSI burners. Just get Nero software if you can.

I agree, Roxio Easy CD Creator is the worst! Ick. At least Adaptec kept their pride as making good products (They have great SCSI controllers) rather than crappy ones, and spun off Roxio.

The great thing is that you can get burners at Newegg for $50 or $60 (good ones,too) and they come with Nero 5.5.

I actually dont like nero much. I dont particularly care for roxio either, but I use it more than nero

Nero works on a Windows 2000 Domain without having to make the user an Administrator. Makes my life easier, for certain users...

the LG ones are well done. I have a 12x8x32 drive with a 8MB cache (no underrun protection but their newer stuff has it) and i have made 0 coasters in 8 months. (except once when nero crashed...that's dumb.

the only issue i have wtih LG drives is their they vary a lot in RPM when reading a disk..but for a burner its no big deal.

Sony's are great too.

But the best is Pioneer.

Pioneer does not make standalone CDRW drives only combo drives.

Or maybe they did at one time but they don't anymore.

Chris: Not nearly as many options as Nero and it is actually a slower burning app (not that it makes much of a difference in a world of 48x burners..) and I don't like it as much. Too n00bish.
