dvdrw/cdrw combi drive

Right

My Dual layer dvdrw drive has more problems then working parts, I can put a cd/dvd in watch it and try to access it about twenty minutes afterwards of no activity only for it to crash the pc.

Aswell as that it was a budget buy and I think it's due for an upgrade to a decent one.

Anyone got any recommendation?

Re: dvdrw/cdrw combi drive

well the new NEC are a group effort as it were no longer do these drives read as NEC so unless you find a 4750a then I would leave NEC until there tested and proven ok

Re: dvdrw/cdrw combi drive

Do you want dual layer support?

Do you want Lightscribe support?

Do you want DVD-RAM support?

Plenty of cheap options here:
