[Freaky]

[OT]Now I know where all the pirated CD's come from ?? :bleh:[OT]

Maybe a LG ??

 

[bottle]

any reason you arent looking at a dvd writer ?

The CD writer is for my bro's college symposium... these guys are going to give freeware utilities cd for all enrolling students...

They are expecting more than 3500 particepants and they are planning to give 2500 cds for first 2500 registrations... he asked me for a cd writer that cud write 2500 cds... i think they wud be very lucky if they are able to write 1000 cds with i writer...

the above exp wud answer both freaky's and bottles questions i guess...

now i have had a very very bad exp with a LG cd reader... any other writers?? any particular models??

 

[bottle]

meant that they can write cds too right ? get a benq or something for about 2k

 

[zhopudey]

Wouldn't a plextor be better for 2.5K burns?

 

[Trajan]

@bottle - the writer that they are planning to write is from the symposium funds... so i dont think that they wud want to buy a DVD writer...

 

[Lord Nemesis]

get 2 x samsung writers for about 2.4k both and then write in parallel

I have an asus cd writer.Has worked well so far.burnt over 240 cds.

Asus sux. I suffered it for long since i m not a heavy cd drive user. But it had high latency factor in both reading and writing. Even i m considering some low end cd writer for backup purpose. Suggest me something as well.

 

[Hacker]

dont go for a asus writer. get a liteon.

 

[TechHead]

LG 8526 or L-O 5239. Best..

 

[zhopudey]

Or maybe you should search the classifieds for anyone who has a CD replicator.

I think Asus is the best choice at this moment.............

 

[Trajan]

looks like a lot of votes for liteon and Asus but there are some votes against Asus... so will suggest the liteon drive...

and what is the chance that the drive would last enough for 1500 cds?? these guys are planning to write these 2.5k cds in 2 or 3 days...

 

[apollyon]

shld easily last that long.....

Dude average writing time for a CD at 52X is about 4 minutes( incl handling,etc) . in 3 days the max you could burn on a single writer would be about 1000 cd's.
