Storage Solutions Which SATA DVD Writer to buy

[Corleone]

I just ordered a Samsung SH-S203B.

Let's see how it is. After being LiteON fan all these years, this will be my first Samsung ODD.

look i have been using samsung SH-S203B and its great.Last week my bro did something and the writer stopped working.Went to samsung service centre and they replaced it the next day sooo the warranty also rocks

That's great.

BTW, I wanted to get the Pioneer DVR-215D but, wasn't availalble. CDFreaks.com says highly of the sammy and hence, decided to get it. Rs. 1150/- is cheap.

Dealer say's I'll get it by Monday. I was hoping to get my hands on it today

Guys, this is for anyone who is buying LiteOn LH-20A1P. I am using the drive for last one year. Its a good burner and a speedy drive but it has loads of problems reading dual layer dvds. Many will tell you that its a firmware problem, but actually it is not. I have upgraded to KL0N, but till date, I have found numerous dual boot DVDs which dont play with LiteOn, which otherwise play perfectly on my Samsung SH-203B. Its not SATA though, but I think the problem will persist in LH-20A1S also.
On your question now:
Buy Pioneer 212D or Samsung SH-S203B. Pioneer is hard to find though.

The SH-203 is great bought one yesteday for 1K in Bangalore.

Wow! The prices have become dirt cheap

I remember I had bought my first HP CD Writer (a rebadged LG) for Rs. 13K

I got 1 sata DVDwriters 4m lammy last week.

A Samsung SH-S203D for 1.1K

&

a ASUS DRW-2014L1T for 1.4K

I'm no pro with DVD writers but compared to both, I'd say ASUS rocks

Why...well I dunno *no pro* but just the feel, the way the tray moves, built quality, looks, LightScribe

If I had to get another drive, I'd go with the ASUS 20X, anyday

The Asus rocks bcoz AFAIK they are rebadged Pioneers. The Pioneer rulez.

I didn't get the Asus LightScribe coz I don't see any LightScribe Media (CD or DVD) anywhere.

Do you know where we get LightScribe CD-Rs and DVD+/-Rs anywhere in Mumbai?

I saw some @ A&A Computors, Andheri(w). Haven't picked up any as m waiting to pick a new CPU 1st. All my CPUs (E6750 & E8400) are gone and m waiting for the price cut to take effect in Mumbai. Running my system on a E6400, ATM.

Can get the rates of LightScribe Media (CD & DVD) and posts here, 2moro.

Hey has33

Thanks dude. It would really be helpful if you post the rates of the LightScribe Media here (both CDs and DVDs).

Contact details of that vendor would also be helpful in ordering.

I just got the D version of SH-S203.

I mean I got the SH-S203D instead of the B.

Any major difference in the two? All i see is that the 203D doesn't have Mt Rainier.

Samsung website shows no difference in the two.

Yeah so far I got a 90 score in CD-DVD Speed Quality Scan on the crappy MBI -R 16x dics.

Just received the TY +R 8x discs from katmandude and looking forward to burn something on those.
