DVD burner recommendation needed
Hi. I am now going to buy a dvd burner. Anybody have recommedations as to which is the best out there? thanks
|
I have an NEC 2500 DVD Burner and it is great..the first one I've bought and it was pretty cheap via Newegg.com but it seems like they don't sell it there anymore and it has been replaced by the 3520A.

I got the NEC 3500A and its been great. Rawrr's recommendation is a good one.
|
as if you need more... but if I were going to get a dvd burner I'd get the 3520a as well. in black. ;)
|
i have a pioneer 108 black.. has capability for dual layer disks(when they come out) lol.. but yea.. great burner thus far.. had it since october 04..
|
I would recommend the Benq 1620, or the older NEC 3500.
I'd steer clear of the 3520 as I've read that it isn't as solid as the 3500. Cdfreaks.com provides a great deal of information regarding DVD burners including very in depth review. I'd check it out. Also, remember that the quality of your DVD media is as important as the quality of your drive. CDfreaks.com |
Thanks for the excellent link lpj8! That site has a ton of info!

+1 for thanks for the link, new site to me! /geek
interesting about the 3520 - I build computers for a living, and that's our 'standard' burner now, replacing the 3500. at home, we've got a 3500 and I have a 2510 I think. |

CDRINFO LINK There are some really good deals to be had for DVD burners. Compusa, Staples, and Best Buy run deals on brands such as Mad Dog and I/O Magic all the time. Usually these brands are rebadged NECs, and Benqs. You can check out the specifics of which Mad Dog/ IOMagic to look for and buy in the CDFREAKS forums. By the way, I have a lite-on 1633s for scanning/reading burnt DVDs and burning CDs. and I use a NEC 3500 for my DVD burning needs. The Lite-On works pretty good with modded firmware, but The NEC 3500 is awesome with stock firmware. I get excellent burn results with a large variety of DVD media. |
Another site you might check is http://www.cdfreaks.com/
I have a Sony DRU-710A. Seems to be very solid. Very fast at DVD+R 16x. edit: I accidentally reposted a link to cdfreaks which someone already posted. |
thanks guys for the input :)
|
I just bought the NEC 3520A. I like it so far.
|
I think I am going to pick up one of these NEC 3520's in black. Have a little one on the way and I would like to be able to burn some dvd's of the videos I am sure my wife will be making of him.
