I agree with you on the point about not having a free spot on your IDE cable......
Not everyone has the ability to run 8 drives like I do... (And it took me a long time to be able to afford to )
I was just stating my opinion on the matter....
Anything that can CUT DOWN the use of your EXPENSIVE dvd writer is a plus......

As far as the -R/-RW VS +R/+RW.... I don't want to get in a argument about it.....

I have run MULTIPLE test on this subject and still have the SAME conclusion.....

-R/-RW works in MORE things (set-top included) than the +R/+RW format.....

Where you will USUALLY see a difference is in the OLDER players....

-R/-RW tends to play alot smoother than the other format in older players.....

Newer units will USUALLY play both so it doesn't seem to matter..

AND THE DEBATE GOES ON!!!!!
