DVD-RW drive query.

[nick25]

Hi, hope everyone is well. Just wondering does anyone know if there is a difference between double layer and dual layer drives? Also what performance gain does a 8mb buffer have over a 2mb buffer? I'm after a DVDrw/CDrw drive that is fast and quiet and also a cd/dvdrom drive - any sugestions?

Is the plextor 12x 8mb a good choice for a cdrw/dvdrw drive?

Cheers, Nick.

Duel layer as far as I know will write to duel layer disks not sure if they are available I think they would be by now as for the buffer I think the bigger buffer means you will have less chance of making coasters I have a pioneer 108 duel layer its fast and quiet but it will burn only as fast as the speed of dvd you buy

 

[nick25]

Do you think dual layer is necessary?

Not realy necesary till duel layer dvd's become cheap but on the other hand only cost me like £50 for my dvd burner oem so??

 

[nick25]

its just that I can't seem to find any 8mb dual layer burners, they are all 2mb. yet i can find 8mb 12x burners.
