Good points i always use a seperate HDD for my backups 300gb sata and i never use mcafee i have a pet hate with that proggy, i also never use windows defrager either am a diskepper user myself much more efficient. IMO
i've used diskeeper for long time, excellent program.
As to mcafee, i've been using about 3yrs or more, it since about version 4.5 or earlier and am still using it now at 8.0 - i always leave it running and after 2000 burns i can safely say it's never been a problem. however i guess virus checkers could be problems for some people. I think i'm just glad i didn't got for a Pioneer 110D after reading the problems with older firmware and threads such as this.. but i guess problems like this get ironed out in newer firmware releases
I Had nothing but problems with Mcafee but thats computers for you i suppose, i know plenty of people who it works for just fine. As for the pioneer 110D it hasnt been a great Jump form my pioneer 109 but it was the only burner my local shop had in stoc. Hopefully the firmware will get better, though i usually flah with the rpc1 releases. All my drives have been flashed with rpc1 i even flashed my Motherboard with a custom bios just to get that little bit better performance from it.
i do not know where ye live,but i found this to be a darn good burner.
and handles any thing i throw at it.and its fast.

i just tried 2 1693s's, problems with both upon installation - probably a bad batch so i've ordered another LG 4167B to go with the other 4167B that replaced the two 1693s's, i'm a bit put off by Liteys after that (though my Sony dru-700a soldiered on for almost a year before failing)
