On the possibility that I might have to replace or add a DVD burner; and
since prices vary so much; can anyone (1) recommend (2) warn against any
particular brand(s)?
Price is always an issue, but a few bucks more for something that works
reliably is a good investment.
All replies accepted. Those based on personal experience particularly
treasured.
Plextor works very well, but is pricy. If you want the best though, it's
the way to go.
My personal solution is a NEC 3500A. I've not run into anything it
couldn't read or write so far. Disks burn reliably.
One small quirk (and it could just be my media) is that it seem to have
trouble overwriting a RW DVD.
I find it works better to do a quick-erase and then a write, rather
than erase/write in one step.
