Alright, I am probably asking the easiest question that has been asked alot of times in this forum (yes I used the search) I can find any strait answer.
Lately my TDK 840G DVD burner has been generating ALOT of coasters. I mean there is 3 for like 1 good cd/dvd. Tried cleaning it, upgraded its firmware. Isnt the disks either, tried them in another burner and they work fine. So with this think being out of warranty and all I am on a quest for a new one. I think I sadly lost my trust in TDK drives. Its pretty bad when this burner writes to Sony and Memorex disks but wont write to TDK ones (I dont think even think TDK could figure that one out)!!!!
So with them out of the list, who is left that makes a really quality dvd drive? I am willing to spend the cash, just as long as its the drive is efficent and doesnt generate many coasters. I have been HIGHLY considering Sony's DVD drives (too bad their newest model isnt black-faced), but at the same time I have been reading NEC makes a fairly kick-ass drive (the ND-3500A). Ive never considered NEC to be a great company, but maybe I have the wrong impression.
So which is the best manufacturer to go with Sony, NEC, someone else? I dont have any experience with any other manufacturers, other than TDK.
Thanks for any help/suggestions!
