Which DVDRW ? The NEC or Pioneer ?
Ok, I need some quick advice here as to which DVDRW to go for.
I know this was covered a couple of weeks ago but I need to hear it from the people who have or know the drives and either like them or hate them.
My two options are either to go for:
NEC ND3520 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM (CD-014-NE)
The ND3520 benefits from NECââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s †œhigh resolution writing strategyââ‚ ‚¬Ã‚ which uses advanced laser modulation to boost the accuracy of the written data. The drive also includes an enhanced version of NECââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s †œActive Optimized Power Controlââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ (Active OPC). Active OPC monitors writing power and reflection of the media in use, calculating the optimum laser power and adjusting it in real-time.
- 4X DVD+R DL Double Layer burning
- 16X max. DVD+R/-R burning
- 8X max. DVD+RW/-RW burning
- 48X max. CD-R & 24X max. CD-RW burning
OR
Pioneer DVR-109 16 x 16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM (CD-023-PO)
The DVR-109 can write 4.7GB of data to write-once media in seven minutes on either DVD-R or +R media, complemented by the capability to store up to 8.5GB on Dual/Double Layer discs. The product is ideal for a wide range of applications including the authoring, editing and storing of video files*, developing digital music catalogues, building image libraries and backing up data. It is among the first drives to offer 16X write speeds on DVD-R in line with the October approval of the speed enhancement to DVD-R by the DVD Forum.
- 4X DVD+R DL Double Layer burning
- 16X max. DVD+R/-R burning
- 8X max. DVD+RW/-RW burning
- 48X max. CD-R & 24X max. CD-RW burning
I would like to save as much money as possible so at the moment my thoughts are on the NEC drive.
I've never bought anything NEC before so would you reccomend them?
Thanks to all who can help and for your time,
Halcyon.
