God! I'll be flame bait for this one...
I had a 6416s last for just a few months... I also had a 4416s that lasted
like... maybe 2 years or there abouts. From that experience I'll never buy or
recommend another yamaha anything... The 6416 would write cdr's without a
problem... but nothing could read them... not even the 6416 that originally
wrote the cdr... Real useful for backups.
As for the 4416s... it won't detect the media being present... The last disk
it burned
was perfect in every way... the very next disk... "no media present"... and
that was
that.
The next cdrw writer I get will be the cheapest IDE bastard that I can find.
That way if it turns belly up next month... all I'll miss is a $20.00 bill
instead of the $150.00 and $200.00 I spent on my yams... :')
Incidentially, I buried my 4416s alongside my 6414s in the county landfill.
Who knows, maybe they'll keep each other company.
Cheers.
