Good point. So you think that CD Burners will always be available even with the advent of DVD Burners? Seems to me like they might eventually get phased out

I don't see any problems burning CD's on a DVD burner. Works well for me although I have a 48x CD burner & a 52x CD burner on a shelf from former computers I unce used.

Anyone one of them would be good - I'm a big Pioneer and LiteOn fan and that open box Pioneer is a steal for 18 bucks (not sure on newegg'e warranty on open box).
I've also heard good things about the Sony NRC Optiarc too.

Spam post on my own thread - apologies, I was testing something, and if you say "You should PM yourself to test things", I'll shoot you.

Within the last couple of monthe, I purchased 2 LG GH22NS30 drives from NE . . total cost was less than $50 shipped.
Great drives, surprisingly quiet and my scans are excellent . . .

It is my understanding that the Pioneer 115d/215d/116d/216d are top notch drives. I've looked everywhere for them, but nobody seems to have stock (I'm in the UK).
So I want to ask what a good alternative would be? It needs to be IDE and be able to burn 360 backups (so dual-layer and change booktype)

Samsung and LG both make excellent drives that will fill your needs . . .

Thanks!
Are there any particular models that stand out from the rest, or would any Samsung/LG be just as reliable?

I live in the US and use SATA . . so I'm not sure exactly what models are available in IDE . . but anything made by Samsung and LG is going to make you happy . .

My last 5 DVD-RW drives
LG SATA
Pioneer SATA
Sony/Optiarc IDE
Sony IDE (premature death within warranty period)
Lite-ON IDE
I was happy with all 5. I am VERY hard on burners. I replace every 6-8 months but I feel I've gotten my money's worth from each on.
All were $40.00 USD or less.

Thanks for all the help. I finally decided to go with the Samsung SH-S222A
My previous drive was an IDE Sony Q30A/Lite-on 1635S
It didn't get any use for 2 years, but when I did start using it, it burned perfectly (however, the drive didn't eject properly, even the emergency hole didn't work so you had to hit the eject button 40~ times before it gave in). Then it just started giving me coasters, and soon it didn't recognise anything at all. I updated the firmware and cross-flashed it to no avail, but everything has to die eventually, right? I just hope I get more use from the drive this time around.
Thanks again.
