What is the very best cd writer/burner?

[tacos]

I have an older phillips cd writer.......looking to upgrade and I would like to know what you guys think is the very best one available? thanks all

[UnseenMenace]

The new RICOH MP9200A-DP must be a pretty good candidate for the best CD Writer around as it is a CD\CDRW\DVD drive

DVD read 12x
CD read 40x
CDR write 24x
CDRW write 10x

I love my Plextor 24/10/40A.

[It_The_Cow]

Plextor is pretty much the leader. They're untouchable

[MoPMatrix]

I don't know much, but I do read alot, and from what I've herd Plextor is the best...

Plextor gets my vote:D Got a 12/10/32A & no problems:beer:

I'd say go for the TDK 24/10/40. At the website they have a 32/10/40 listed as well and both are burn-proof. You name it, it can copy it well besides DVD.

Plextor 1210 burnproof...faster writing speeds are really something that;'ll save you one or 2 minutes on writing time, i guess... I have the scsi version, which has really good transfer rates, especially when copying on-the fly from my plextor scsi CD-Rom. Also a lot less data loss than IDE types. And burnproof really works. Go for security and stability rather than top-speed...12 is enough IMHO

I would go with a plextor or a TDK. I have a TDK 16x10x40 and love it. I have also heard that Plextor makes the internals for the TDK. Dont know for sure though.

[Billvill]
