| 302376 | 2004-12-12 10:48:00 | Compatibility, burning formats IIRC from the reviews I read before buying mine. Here's a review from CDRinfo (www.cdrinfo.com) and some more reviews at CDFreaks (www.cdfreaks.com) although they haven't done a NEC ND 3500 review yet it's a good site for info. Another review from CDRLabs (www.cdrlabs.com). Don't base your choice just on these reviews though, your purchase decisions may be quiet different to mine.. Check out a few drives that are within your range, and compare. |

Also check what media it will work with well . There have been threads here about dvd/rw not working with certain media brands, genrally the lower end of the market has a little more problem in this area. D. |

| 302385 | 2004-12-13 08:19:00 | DVD burners are still well in an infinite stage, and the quality differs greatly between the brands you can buy . The DVD manufactures are constantly releasing new firmware’s to tell the DVD unit how to write to the DVD media . Lets say compare this to CD writers . Pretty much any CD writer straight out of the box unit will pretty much write to any media of any quality . The only distinguishing feature now is how the units can handle the various copy protections used by the Music and game industries . DVDs writers are very much different . At the moment there are a few brands out there, but very view of any recommendable quality . Recent Pioneer and Asus drives are exactly the same drive just a different badge on the front . Summary of the drives would be great build quality, great quality writers to all media quality types . Recommend? Yes . Pioneer 108D Recent BenQ and Phillips drives are exactly the same drive just a different badge on the front . Summary of the drives would be that the BenQ1620 is a quality built drive with Lots of after market software treats to test write quality Bit setting etc recommend? Yes . Flagship drive BenQ 1620 NEC . Good drive for writing to any media quality type either ± R . NEC though are pretty slow to release new firmwares . Lots of after market firmwares though fill this void . Recommend? Yes . Flagship drive NEC 3500 Recent Lite-on and Sony drives are exactly the same drive just a different badge on the front . The drives would be consided to be noisier then other brands, would prefer to write to HQ +R media only . Lots of after market software treats to test write quality, Bit setting etc Recommend? No |
