My baby is the 107,

Purely cause i got it as a steal and the good old 104 was still going strong :p

[Warlock]

Of the four listed i would go with the pioneer or the Sony.

I have the Sony DWU-18a, its a very good writer.

May i suggest you get your hands on some DVD-R RiData G04 discs, they are fantastic with this burner that is if you decide to get it.

Although don't you think you should get a dual layer burner?

I have a Lite-On 832S - Fantastic Dual-Layer writer, and beats the arse out of my 104 :)

Some writers allow you to upgrade firmware and allow burning to Dual Layer media. What writer do you have atm?

hey lufcfan... i have asked this but noone replied so ill give it a shot in here especialy since u asked..lol
i have a Toshiba SD-R5002 dvd-r writer.. do u know of any upgrades/hacked firmware that will allow me to use it as a dual writer and maybe also an upgraded speed?
thanks a lot!

[lufcfan]

No idea... :)

@Eakins,

You can read the NFO on the patched firmware on this page. I dunno if its what your looking for but its a start.

hey tyler man.. there are some patches there fro my burner (well 1) but it only allows for dvd region free.. and i was looking for a dual layer if possible or if not just a speed upgrade!!
anyone?

i have the ND-2500A and it's upgradeble via hacked firmware.
great writer never 1 issue but, with the NEC ND2510 out for around $69 USD i would get that writer.
