Hi all.

I am debating on which SATA DVD+CD burner to get for my next computer
upgrade. I am still using my old Plextor CD burner and it is time to
retire it and go DVD! Which one would you pick -- PioneerDVR-212DD or
Sony/NEC (AD-7220S-0B or AD-7200S-0B)? They cost about 30 bucks.

I will be doing CD and DVD burning (copy, importing with multiple
sessions, copy CDs and DVDs, etc.). I do have an old IDE/PATA DVD-ROM
drive for playing music, watching movies, being source when copying
discs, etc.

Any recommendations? Thank you in advance. :)

Neither. I prefer LGs, they arent as fussy about the media.

Its generally better to have the DVD burner as the source now.

I recenlty looked at two drives with regard to DVD-RAM. the Lite On
managed to kill disks (which is supposed to be pretty hard), a Samsumg
203P (SATA) did very well. It also did very well for CDs. Did not
test DVD-<nonRAM>, since they basically all suck badly.

But I will have to swap discs during copy. :( I just want to do direct
copy from CD/DVD drive to the burner. That is how I did it with my old
Plextor CD burner drive.
