    Buying a Cd-Rw

    I am planning on buying a new cd-rw drive. external or internal- it doesnt matter.

    Can anyone recommend some good name brands, and good places to get them online.

    I want something that is fairly good quality, but is reasonable in price

    Well I wouldn't get anything above a 16X burner unless you have a good computer, if you want to go with something a little slower I find the cheapest prices at computergeeks.com those prices at dell are ok but better can be found just browse around pricewatch.

    Good choice very very fast. Does it have audio rip? You might be able to burn audio at 48x

    That's a lot of money.

    But really fast.

    I didn't know they had ones that fast yet.

    Can you even get CD's that burn at that speed? I have a mate with a 24 speed burner; and it's impossible to find CD's that burn that fast.

    Take a look at CDRLabs.com Forums. Sony burners are also very good, got mine Sony CRX160E for a half year ago. Not any problems.

    Check out Cyberdrive's CD Writers... they are the best on the market in my opinion.

    Buy 32x10x40 Plextor or 40x12x48 Teac. The best recorders.
