Zenskas Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 They are all very good IDE drives. I have the model below the Lite-On one in my PC now and it works great. Can be loud though. Don't know if they improved that. Your call as to which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcraftmaster Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 ok thanksjust one more thing whats the pros and cons of each drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenskas Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well they are basically the same. Not much noticeable difference. Depends on what brand you want more and which one is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoko Ono Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The Sony AD7200AOB is a Lite On rebranded drive. I have used Lite On for years and not had any problems with them. They are a little loud but it never bothered me much. I like the Samung drives, but I have to admit I have never owned an LG so I don't know what to say about them.

puntoMX Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The HP is a Lite-On, so if Yoko Ono is right you are comparing 2 drives made by the same company .The HP drive is just an older model, most new models have the 22x label on it.Look at Samsung or Pioneer, best you can get at the moment...

puntoMX Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Try it out first I would say, download the programs from www.lightscribe.org .EDIT:LightScribe is currently available on Windows 2000 and XP... and that was in 2005.So you might have to get a new OS.

Ludwig Von Cookie Koopa Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 1. It does not matter what features is on the DVD drive as long as it can read DVD-R. The only reason you need it to readany other type is that you want to read or write to the special format types that goes above 16GB and so forth.2. All Drives have a rom chip ( or whatever ) that prevents it from reading etc DVD movies from other regions. Meaning you have to be able to flash that ( forget the name ) in order to read every disc region. I have a Notebook that is really sweet but I can't even watch my DVD magazine from Russia or Thailand So I would advise you to find out if the drive is flashable ( I forget the name ) and how it went with other people flashing it.3. A slow drive so what. In the proffesional authoring world everything is 2X speed. 2X has been the limit since VCD was around to run video on a machine.4. Those printable covers may it be the stick on's or pre-written disc is the only choice. Light scribe or whatever is kinda pointless unless it is a universal device which there is no such thing. HP is trying to propertize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
