Which Burner to get for $150-$200

Kinkostud · #1 28-03-2002, 07:08

Am looking to upgrade my current burner (just a cheapy 8432Writer 8/2/32). Was wondering if anyone could give me the best bang for my buck with their current experience with the Burners out there.

Thanks ahead of time.

I just recently bought the Liteon 40125s and i can say that it does everything that i could ask. I have easily backud up MOHAA, Serious sam second Encounter, Renegade using clone cd v3 and have tried the beta V4 which seems to work as good if not better.

I would go with the LG GCE-8320B. It writes at 32x and also writes all sub-channel data correctly.. Works perfectly with Clone CD. Also you can buy it all day long on e-bay for $90-$100. Hope this helps....

is e-bay an auction shop, do they auction everything?

Yes they auction EVERYTHING......
E-Bay Auctions
Take a look, they have everything.......

if you dodn;t live in the us can you still buy?

Most of the sellers on e-bay will ship outside the US. There are some sellers that are outside the US to begin with. What ever you are going to bid on, just read the description to make sure they will ship outside the US. If its not in the description e-mail them BEFORE you bid and ask.... Hope this helps!!!

yes it does. How secure is ebay? have any of you boaught something there and you are outside the us?

Just ordered myself a Liteon 40125s for 93$ from pricewatch. Appreciate the help in the decision making.

One quick question tho for those who might have experience with a stand alone duplicator. Will those make a backup of most CD's just like the original? Was considering purchasing one of those also if so, since my Freedom force CD got jacked coming out of my old CD-Drive as it started to close as I was pulling the CD out...

Thanks again for the help.

duplicators suck.

does this drive work well with all types of backups (PSX, PS2, DC, PC, MP3) as well as clonecd and other software? thx for the info

I'm not sure about the drive you mentioned but the LG GCE-8320B works perfectly with Clone CD and backs up everything I have ever tried.... Hope this helps!!!

your drive will back up any of those except ps2 games that are in DVD format (most of them anymore). also, BG, we get it. lg is good. thanks.
