Hey people, this is kind of urgent.

I need to make a choice between the two SATA DVD RW's...

1. Sony Optiarc 170S

2. Asus DRW 1814BLT

Both cost around 1700, need the following..

1. Good Burn quality (duh)

2. Ability to do a CD/DVD Speed Error Scan via Nero CDSpeed

Which of the two would be a better choice...also whos the OEM for the Asus DVDRW?

Cheers

Deepak
 
LOL, all drives can do a CD/DVD scan in Nero :P

As for the ASUS, it most prolly is a Pio drive, check the review here
 
The asus doesnt seem like a great drive. Atleast the CDRlabs review doesnt talk too highly of it. Its not a rebadged pio btw.
 
Arre anish
lg drives cant do a cd speed scan, thats y i was askin re
the sony drive is really hard to find. Lets see if i can find one
 
^ Ohh okay, didn't know about that, LG is outta the question then!

Did you try for the Sony with Sabir?

3300 + plus tax ? man that day light robbery here not at NP but even the local market prices are around 3k for 4000x2 with tax n all.
 
hmmm going OT since am gonna go with the Sony DVDRW prolly

these are the prices i found at Metro Computers @ SP Road

X2 4000+ - 2600

1GB Transcend 667 - 1450

At Pavan Computers

X2 4000+ 2500

1GB DDR2 667 - 1550

add 4% VAT to the prices///

hows Pavan Computers? also any comments regarding Astro Computers?

Ankit charges way way way over the price....not as much as Sabir tho
 
^ Well Sabir does personal discounts but you can go ahead with Metro for the CPU and RAM. Get the DVD from Sabir if you can't find it anywhere.

You can always mention my reference and ask for a little you know, telling him prices at SP are wayy lower :P
