Which drive should I remove
Hi,
I've just brought a Pioneer 107D DVD Burner (DVD Read 12x, Write 8x, Rewrite 8x, CD Read 40x, Write 24x, Rewrite 24x). I have got to remove one of my existing drives and I am unsure which one should go, any advice would be appreciated. My existing drives are an LG CD-RW (Read 40x, Write 24x, Rewrite 10x) and an OEM DVD Drive (I'm not too sure what the read speed is). Thanks in advance for any advice.

Regards, Sonars UK Well, it kind of depends on what you do..... If you do a lot of CD burning, then keep the CD-RW - they generally do better than the DVD-RW burning CD's, and 2 burners are always better than one. If you're going to be duplicating your home movies that you've burned onto DVD-R then you should check to see that your DVD-ROM can read the media - a lot can't. If you plan on copying (err, ahem..... I mean "backing up".....) a lot of commercial DVD's then definitely keep the DVD-ROM. If it were me, I'd keep the DVD-ROM and replace the CD-RW, because I don't do a lot of CD-R burning, and I copy my home-made DVD-R movies all the time for relatives and friends. But that's just me. Good Luck! ECM |
