I think he means the actual hardware....

Pioneer 111 is the best at the mo

 

[smirnoff_rules]

magiciso is the fastest and most effective

NEC are nice and quiet (but I'm having problems with my 3520 at the moment).

Sony drives are Lite-On re-badges, so just go for the Lite-on (to avoid paying for the Sony name).

As MH said Pioneer are good.

Go for as fast as you can even if you ain't gonna burn at that speed (e.g. not recommended at burning more than 4x for PS2 games). LightScribe and LabelFlash are expensive extras if you only intend using normal discs.

Cant you just use dvd decryper and then burn it? I downloaded it and it played fine! Or maybe try Alchol 120%

If you want LG the GSA-H30N is SATA and has a 2MB buffer (if you can find it).

Writing Speeds:
DVD+R 2.4x, 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x
DVD+R DL 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x
DVD+RW 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x
DVD-R 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x
DVD-R DL 4x, 8x
DVD-RW 1x, 2x, 4x ,6x
DVD-RAM 2x, 3x, 5x, 12x
CD-R 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x
CD-RW 4x, 10x, 16x, 24x, 32x

But Plextor, Samsung and Lite-on all have SATA drives out at the moment.

Cheers, but I've tried new firmware, rolled back the firmware to that of the original 3520 drives and even 3rd party firmware (Liggy and Dee). I do still need to try the firmware that was originally on the drive (1.3 I think), but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm thinking (read as hoping) its just an incompatability between my drive and the motherboard at the moment. I'll be swapping it out for a faster drive soon anyways (just waiting on aquiring a large enough wish list to minimise p&p ).

Agree with the LG never had a problem
