Hello,

I need some help trying to select a CD writer........
Right now i am looking at five models,
The Plextor PlexWriter Premium,
CenDyne Lightning V 52/24/52 CD-RW,
Lite-On LTR-52246S 52/24/52 CD-RW,
Mitsumi CR-485FTE 54/32/54 CD-RW,
and Sony CRX220A1 52/24/52 CD-RW....

Right not i am not really sure which one i need to go with. What i am really concerned with is the ability to back up CD Protected games. I have two kids, and they seem to turn all my cds into personal Frisbees, no matter what i do. For a while i was simply copying CDs and just using the backups, but lately, more and more, i can't seem to make anything but coasters. I am not really worried about the costs of the drives, and i am not to concerned with the Rewrite ability, and the overall speed performance isn't a really big factor in my decision either. What i am concerned with the software compatibility, the ability to copy a cd regardless of the Protection, and Media Compatibility. I have countless reviews on each of these drives and i still can't seem to come to a conclusion. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY HAVE EXPERINCED WITH THESE DRIVES..... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION? Or maybe tell me of even a better drive.

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.

I would reccommend the Lite-On drives first followed by ASUS burners.

The last Lite-On i used was a 32x16x32 (or something like that) and i was extremely pleased with it. LiteOn drives will not dissapoint you. Failing that, I would reccomend to you the ASUS CRW5224A - I am currently using it and am extremely pleased with it.

ASUS A8V Deluxe, A64-3500 @ 2.65
1GB KingMax PC3700
640GB [4x160GB, 7200, 8MB]
XFX 6800GT 256MB

"You got the right one baby..uh huh" (not literally m8). This Litey is "bad to the bone" and can backup the latest Safedisc& SecuROM pc game protections (most popular pc game protections). The Litey can backup 7 of 8 tough audio cd protections, excellent dae speed and accuracy as well. Pound for pound it is the best cdrw on the market for "all purpose backups".
