I prefer a quality drive :-P Seriously tho, my Plextor and Pioneer drives have never produced a coaster when using decent media, and having the computer only doing the burn (no multi-tasking), running at full speed (48x and 52x, respectively). On the other hand, my Hi-Val drive has a success rate somewhere around 80-90 percent. _eric -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Darrin Chandler Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 9:50 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: md5sum a dvd? Reminder (yet again?) for people burning CDs: just because you have a 48x drive doesn't mean you should burn as fast as possible. I burn slow and it saves a lot of aggravation. I used to burn fast, but I burned bad CDs, or had it work on one box and not on another, etc. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
