| 24675 | 2001-11-16 19:30:00 | Hi, I have a system of pIII 616 with 378 ram and 52x cd rom drive, and would like to install a cd-rewriter, i've had my eyes on the Ricoh 20x10x40 mdel MP7200A, now is this any good? I would also like to know if anyone in the Auyckland region sells these cheaper, prefer open weekends (doesn't HAVE to be)with free installation which i believe is free at most places. Does anyone own this or have any tips/suggestions? Is it stable or any other types, approx. the same speed but under $250? Thanks |

| 24676 | 2001-11-16 23:02:00 | you are kidding arn't you?? you would be lucky to get an elcheapo 16x burner for $250 retail. i see someone advertising that drive for $400. good quality 20x burner range roughly from $300-500. |

| 24677 | 2001-11-16 23:26:00 | Despite Tweak E's scepticism, I recently bought a Samsung 8/12/32 CDR from PB Technologies in Penrose for $208 and it works perfectly. | Guest (0) | ||
| 24678 | 2001-11-16 23:54:00 | exactly, theres a big price dif between a measly 12x and a 20x. pb tech's site must be out of date as it lists the samsung as $235 and has the ricoh 20x as $360. | Guest (0) | ||
| 24679 | 2001-11-17 06:52:00 | Sy Thought I should let you know. I just bought the Ricoh 7200A from I one computers in Browns Bay (yeay Aucklands North Shore!!!) for $259 +GST. This writer can do it all Jess |

| 24681 | 2001-11-20 04:50:00 | If you hold out a bit longer you could pick up a better CD RW. I have the MP7200A goes good. But I hear the New Yamaha 20x 10x 40x has 8MB of onboard Cache which is 4 times more than the Ricoh and should be able to lower the amount of buffer underruns even though I don't have trouble with underruns. Just reaching Max 20x for writing CDs to CDs without it failing | Guest (0) | ||
| 24682 | 2001-11-20 08:59:00 | The Ricoh MP7200A has JustLink buffer underrun protection, so if you're using software that supports JustLink (ie Nero) you shouldn't have problems with underruns any way. JM |
