I have been checkning out these SATA DVD-Writer Drivers that I just wanted your guys opinion on which is the best and what order would you put these drive if you were to get these Drives. So let me know, please guys.

Pioneer DVR-212D DVD/CD writer

PX-755SA DVD±R/RW CD-R/RW internal Serial ATA drive

Samsung SATA SH-S183L DVD Writer

Lite-On SATA SH-16A7S (SATA) DVD Writer

THX!

Fusion

i would have to say the pioneer

I'm a fan of the Pioneer drives as well. Their CD burning speeds are usually a little slower than other manufacturers...but 40X is still plenty fast enough. Their drives are super reliable too.

Another vote for Pioneer. Good drives! (Have one at work...)

I've also heard nothing but excellent things about Pioneer drives. An old friend of mine has floor to ceiling boxes/stacks of burnt media that he's literally been trying to burn out his Pioneer but it won't quit on him.

I will also agree that Pioneer are great.
Alot can be said for Plextors as well though, I don't know about the 755SA but the 760SA is great (i have 2 and they kick a**).

At the end of the day is really a price issue and a personal choice as I have not heard bad things about any of the 4 you mentioned.

Another voted for the Pioneer. I've got a DVR-111D and a DVR-112D. Both just keep on churning out good burns, and not a single coaster from either.

I would say LG but its not in your list.

Pioneer 106 I had a while ago went west on me and stopped reading or writing discs. Maybe I just had a lemon or something but my LG drive has lasted probably the longest of any drive I have ever had.

Hang on a minute, WTF is a "SATA DVD-Writer Driver" when its at home?

Are you guys talking about DVD writers or did I miss a meeting somewhere?

Whats the point "burning" data to a SATA drive?!

Just copy it there, sheesh.

"Drivers" was probalby a typo...the rest of us apparently figured out what he meant.

Ever heard of DVD writers (aka "burners") that use a SATA interface instead of PATA (aka "IDE")? That's what he's looking to purchase and is asking which of the ones he listed would be his best option.

I guess you did miss a few meetings...

Well Guys I have made my decision on my Roms for my Next system. So please check out the Drives and Give me your opinion on this drives guys. I am try to get some reviews on this drives, but it really hard to find any reviews. So if you guys know of a site who has any reviews on these drives, please let me know.

I need all my Roms to be SATA, not IDE. So is 112D SATA or IDE?

Ripken204, I just looked at the Pionner DVR-212D Writer, are you cool with this drive. I am glad that is SATA. Whats your opinion on this Drive Guys?

Why did you start another topic...? Unless something significantly changed, post in your old thread.

Topics Merged

Sorry!

Pioneer DVR-112D hands down.

But is Pioneer DVR-112D SATA? I need SATA Drives, not IDE and if anyone is wondering why I am going from IDE to SATA, the reason for that is that I heard that Intel's Upcoming X38 Chipset Motherboard will not have IDE Port. I am glad that they are kicking out the IDE and making SATA Mainstream. That why I need all my Roms to be SATA, NO IDE for me.

THX!

I have the samsung you mentioned in post#1. It's lightscribe capable. Works great so far. No coaster.

I had an old Pioneer S106D (4x). For some reason, when people give me stuff, it would read anything from it. I bought this Samsung and it reads everything fine.

I also burned some data DVD from Pioneer S106D. Later when I needed something, those DVD's are unreadable from any DVD drives. I'm not sure if it's bad media or if my Pioneer was messed up.
