CD-RW Recommendations please

[gregmacc2002]

Thanks Ghosthacker, backing up protected game CDs is a priority.
I just assumed all Playstation games were protected.
While we are talking about Liteons: The guy at IT Warehouse was telling me that many of the latest CD-RW drives have been designed to be very difficult to copy protected discs (to keep the software publishers happy). He recommended the LTR24102B because it is older technology and will copy "just about everything". Is there any truth to this or is he just trying to move old stock?
Also, some of the reviews I have read make a point of mentioning that the Liteons do not write at speeds less than 8x. Is this an issue? Do some jobs need to be done at slow write speeds?
