To handle Safedisk 2 with the greatest ease you need a burner capable of perfect EFM coding - http://www.elby.ch/english/products/...p.html#philips - go ahead, click the link, it won't bite.
For a burner to have perfect EFM coding, it must have "two-sheep" in the EFM column on the above site. If someone recommends a drive to you, check out that site to see how it competes.
However, just because it hasn't perfect EFM coding, doesn't mean that it can't copy Safedisk 2 - software such as Alcohol 120% will make up for this fact, although the copy won't be a true 1:1 copy, it's near enough. That said however, even two-sheep burners cannot copy Safedisk 2.8 one-to-one, this is where the software will help again.
Securom New (>4.8) cannot be copied 1:1 by cd-writer, however, once again the software can help here a great deal (not true 1:1 again, but close enough.

Good writers include Lite-on's (also very cheap), some LG models, and many more. Personnally I have a Plex 24X (one sheep), and an LG 8400B (two-sheep). Although I rarely use the LG in backing up as I like the Plextor's top quality.

This is only a very brief overview, if you want more information on the copy protections being used, how to defeat them and what's required then read the FAQ.

ok thanks but what is the best for making 121 copies of the newest games (product name appreciated). Like mafia and even newer, there must be a superior copier that with clone cd 4 is really good. What is it?

As I said, Lite-on's are notoriously good (24X, 32X, 40X, 48X 52X)at beating Safedisk 2. I do suggest however downloading Alcohol 120% as it has greater success rates that CCD at the moment.
If you have a look at the FAQ you will find it very informative.

Yes, most certainly.
