| 618348 | 2007-12-06 04:18:00 | We are putting together a new computer, and were considering to have two DVD writers. We've already chosen one which is a Pioneer DVR-212BK 18x We were recommended to have a second one that is different, but I'm not quite sure which brands are best to go for. Any ideas? |

OK two DVD writers may be a good idea. I have just installed a second DVD writer on mine as it is faster than the other one it still has. Whom recommended a different brand and whom chose the original brand? What are the rest of the specifications? What O/S is going on the NEW computer? Sorry for the questions but without knowing I will not guess. Welcome to pressF1. |

| 618352 | 2007-12-06 04:35:00 | Thanks. :) Good to narrow it right down. Might be going for the Asus DRW-2014L1T 20X Lightscribe SATA DVDRW Black. |

Haven't sorted that either. That and the monitor to go. Cheers for your help. :) |

| 618354 | 2007-12-06 04:43:00 | It doesnt really matter WHAT brands of burners you put in. Just as long as you remember to jumper them properly (If theyre IDE). Actually, I could put 4 in here, if I removed the useless ide hdd thats in here lol. 1 ASUS DL / DVD, 1 LG DVD, 1 HP CD writer, and 1 Pioneer SL DVD / burner. I'm using the ASUS at the mo, the other 3 are sitting in the drawer. |

I bought an IDE Asus lightscribe mostly as I want to put more SATA hard drives in my system the speed of the IDE Asus is 18x as opposed to your 20x I had a spare IDE port. And I would like to do the lightscribe. So yours is better than mine. No problem with Pioneer or Asus drives. |

Warranty comes to mind here. As for the O/S I would suggest you use whatever runs your applications and you can get drivers for the hardware. |

| 618357 | 2007-12-06 05:12:00 | We were considering Seagate...though yes, warranty to consider. We'll be running mainly Adobe CS Suite and maybe AutoCAD. It should be alright I think. |
